2026 Olys Womens FS PBP - Missed Full of Horrors

[tangerine dream]

Alysa is money. Has there ever been a skater with less nerves who looks like she's having so much fun? She's not my cup of tea, and I wish she had different programs, but I've never seen anyone skate competitive programs like they're an exhibition. It's remarkable.

Seriously. I need to train myself to uber skaters who are super consistent, it would be so much less stressful. Petrokina has been really consistent lately, maybe I should jump on her bandwagon.

 

[Reuven]

OMG, THIS IS FUN!!!!

 

[Wyliefan]

Even her jump faces are happy!

 

[Perky Shae Lynn]

My heart is pounding so hard.

 

[miffy]

Good for Alysa! She just makes it look so easy!

She's going to win gold as far as the social media only fans think for sure

 

[skateycat]

OMG i adore her. That hair flip at the end was EVERYTHING

That’s what I’m f******* TALKING ABOUT!!!!!

 

[slicekw]

Did Alysa just say “That’s what I’m f*cking talking about!”?

 

[Citlali]

She just skates so calm and then lets loose in the K&C

 

[Braulio]

You enjoy watching her joy of skating, thanks Alysa!

 

[BaileyCatts]

I want all of Alysa, Kaori and Ami to win Gold. Can we have a 3 way tie please!

 

[Hanna]

It's astonishing. How Liu must be the only skater ever that manages to get through the hell that is NBC and the US media hype machine and come out on the other end looking like a goofy teenager who's just having a lil bit of fun skating for Olympic medals.

 

[marbri]

Okay, controversial opinion incoming ( perhaps?) but this program does nothing at all choreographically until she hits the last few elements. I don't think that music works at all, just background noise.

The exact opposite to her Laufey SP which is just and so beautifully choreographed to the music.

 

[Vagabond]

The custodian has chosen this of all moments to come in and sweep.

The custodian or someone from one of the curling teams?

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

In honour of time that I had bleached blonde and black hair, yay Alysa!

 

[MacMadame]

Fcuk

She said that on TV and I love her for it.

 

[Lara]

I thought there was no way she could catch lightning in a bottle twice after Boston. How????????

I don’t think I’ve purely enjoyed a final group Olympic freeskate (live) more.

 

[LeafOnTheWind]

You can call it hypocritical but I care more about URs and edges being called correctly when they are likely to impact who medals. I would prefer everyone be called correctly of course but Kurakova was never going to be anywhere near the top 3.

I have a problem with the competition calling below the medal placements if it means creating problems with funding issues, qualifying or not to free skate/world team or country slots available for the next year.

 

[Coco]

she lost a level on her flying camel and probably got a Q

 

[Braulio]

150.20

 

[FunnyBut]

I think I felt far more anxiety than Alysa. Don’t understand her at all, but so happy it works for her.

 

[Wyliefan]

And that's a medal! And she just sits there nodding like "Of course it is."

[Karen-W]

Now THAT'S a score!!!!! So spectacular!

 

[alj5]

Well dang, if anyone can go after that and succeed it's Kaori!

 

[kemc]

Alysa F bombs on live TV
"That's what I'm f*cking talking about!!"

Anyone predict that pearl clutchable moment ?!

 

[millyskate]

So both the US and Japan gets medals. Kaori's coach looked terrified to death there

 

[Bunny Hop]

That's a massive gap in scores between Liu and Chiba.

 

[slicekw]

That might be the best score all season. C’mon Kaori, make it two balls-to-the-walls skates!

 

[Perky Shae Lynn]

Kaori go queen

 

[Aceon6]

Ok, my dream setup… Part 1 complete with Alysa in the chair. Now I need Kaori to kill it, too, and let the points be the points.
