2026 Olys Womens FS PBP - Missed Full of Horrors

[Perky Shae Lynn]

Oh goodness she is DIVINE but this was not it.... Ugh. My queen.

 

[susieB129]

She looks worried.

 

[myhoneyhoney]

Oh she’s such a gorgeous skater.

 

[Allen]

I think Kaori will win if she doesn't fall.

I have a weird feeling. Tech was about 5 points lower than Alysa before review and she was tight.

 

[ilovesalchows]

She looked tight. She needs a PCS of about 77, can she get it?

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Oh my gosh do we think Alysa can do it?

 

[Bunny Hop]

That won't be enough to beat Alysa.

It was a very good skate, but the slight error on the flip, having it labelled as repeat which reduces the base value, and leaving out the triple toeloop may end up being too costly.

SP: 77.23 = 2nd Place
FS: 147.67 = 2nd Place
Total: 224.90 = 2nd Place

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Oh My this is going to be close!

TES is nearly 5 points below Alysa, so I don't know that it will.

 

[slicekw]

I can’t even. Alysa and Kaori just bringing it like I hoped. I’m tearing up for them both!

 

[delayedaxel]

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.

This.

 

[my little pony]

oh no my queen this is lowish

 

[Aceon6]

Hmmmm. That stumble.

 

[NinjaTurtles]

Oof, the combo issues.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

I have a weird feeling. Tech was about 5 points lower than Alysa before review and she was tight.

I wasn't really accounting for her leaving out a whole triple.

 

[peibeck]

Missed her 3/3 combo. (((Kaori)))

 

[Aussie Willy]

Kaori - excellent skating. I would have her higher on SS than Alysa but Alysa was better on the PE.

Why does Kaori's skirt always catch on the back of her dress? Happened in the SP and now the FS.

 

[Karen-W]

Wow. Russian Sports Tarot Lady was REALLY wrong about the women's event.

There's no way the judges can PCS that enough to give Kaori the lead.

 

[Matryeshka]

Even if she fell on every jump, I'd still give her a standing ovation. She is the gold medalist of my heart. Thank you Kaori for bringing us all so much joy.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Johnny is so stupid sometimes. He thinks her artist score will be affected because she left out the triple.

No, Johnny, her TECH SCORE will be.

 

[myhoneyhoney]

She’s making me cry

 

[itsartemis]

She knows it’s not going to be enough. Awww, Kaori.

 

[allezfred]

Sport is so cruel…

 

[Coco]

Missing content, but must have covered significantly more ice than Alysa, for whatever that is worth.

 

[Rob]

Oh my, I didn’t want Kaori to regret anything!

 

[CarolineBingley]

Kaori crying

 

[tony]

She really needed to get 2 seconds ahead of the music and throw in the 3T on the end of the Lo. She can do it in her sleep. I really don't get why she didn't just go for it.

 

[LeafOnTheWind]

Kaori, please don't cry

 

[slicekw]

Anyone predict that pearl clutchable moment ?!

I bet the USFSA did and I bet plenty of strings of pearls are broken from the clenching. But does Alysa care?

 

[peibeck]

Crying in the KnC. Boo!!!
