2026 Olys Womens FS PBP - Missed Full of Horrors

[Matryeshka]

Kimmie and Adam? That's too much pretty for one sport.

I miss the glory days of Chinese skating.

 

[Karen-W]

Katya is the most gorgeous girl, but I hate this look on her. She looks like a wealthy Sicilian widow.

I was just thinking that it's the best Moulin Rouge costume I've seen in a long time.

 

[JoannaLouise]

If there are any post-competition cocktail parties, Kurakova can just wear this dress and not worry about changing her outfit at all

 

[Elisheba]

These jumps seem really slow and cautioous from Kurakova.

 

[Sylvia]

Sad to see a multiple Oscar winner (Emma Thompson) in this. It really is difficult for older actresses to find work....

OT: Thompson has been finding work despite her age. I like her in comedies!

 

[MsZem]

Why is Kurakova's program shouting at me? I feel attacked.

Meanwhile, I've been watching her daughter in "All Creatures Great and Small." She looks EXACTLY like Emma. I did a triple take when I first saw her.

 

[delayedaxel]

That long setup into the jumps is so 90ies...

 

[LeafOnTheWind]

I wish Kurakova had been playing more with the music and personality instead of jump stalking.

 

[tony]

Kurakova’s jump rotations have really gone nowhere and Amodio has given her some weird programs the last few seasons. Best set of programs in a long while this year but just so out of place technically.

I don’t suspect she will carry on after this season so nice to make the free skate.

 

[peibeck]

If Kurakova attacked these jumps instead of stalking them she'd probably get better rotation.

 

[Colonel Green]

Kurakova could really sell "Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend" over a step sequence, so it's really underwhelming that they use it for her just skating around for the first four jumping passes.

 

[Rob]

I wish Kurakova had been playing more with the music and personality instead of jump stalking.

Yes! What happened to the sparkling personality! It was her best asset.

 

[beckab81]

Ok, Katia, sell this program!

 

[overedge]

She could qualify for the Summer Olympics with that much running.

 

[Wyliefan]

Emoting to the rafters, bless her. I'm really going to miss her if this is her last season.

OK Kurakova running > Kevin running

 

[Jay42]

I love Kurakova and I know she's said she's working on her rotation issues but her jump stalking feels like it's getting worse.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

I feel like the knee slide in Kurakova's program doesn't make any sense musically.

[Karen-W]

Katia can die on the ice anytime! She's such a great performer!

 

[miffy]

I love to see her so happy She's so sweet and positive.

 

[Coco]

awww, she kissed the ice when she finished.

 

[just tuned in]

Tara and Johnny thought the theatrics were authentic. Me, not so much.

 

[MacMadame]

Random thought: It's a lot easier to cut music with lyrics if you can include lyrics. We got some really weird edits in the past when lyrics were banned.

Katya is the most gorgeous girl, but I hate this look on her. She looks like a wealthy Sicilian widow.

Well, Moulin Rouge is about a prostitute. (I really think it's her makeup more than the dress which is fine for MR.)

 

[my little pony]

Katia is the winner of the giving face PCS for sure, I really despise moulin rouge but she totally lives out that live fast die of consumption or whatever fantasy

 

[peibeck]

At least she's happy with her skate!

 

[Rob]

The dramatic second half had nothing to do with the first half. And they wasted “Diamonds” on the first half with no expression.
