2026 Olys Womens FS PBP - Missed Full of Horrors

[terisa]

I hope Kaori goes to worlds, and gets to skate that program again for a REAL figure skating audience.

 

[miffy]

Aww shame for Kaori and she's obviously disappointed It's impossible not to feel bad for her. That shouldn't beat Alysa though. Probably not even close. Guessing PCS will hold her up over Mone?

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Should be enough for a medal, right??? She'll be ahead of Mone???

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Amber may win technical.

 

[Citlali]

Kaori

And she is crying

 

[Habs]

Jump math

 

[Karen-W]

Awww. Love Alysa giving her a huge hug. They are such great ambassadors for this sport.

 

[tangerine dream]

Why should a system that has specific rules only apply to the top skaters? It makes no sense. You can't ask for them to suddenly turn on the rules for the medals only

I never said anything like that. I said I would like everyone's rotations and edges called the same, but it bothers me more when they ignore the URs and edge calls of the top skaters.

 

[Rob]

Gotta love Alysa the human being.

 

[CarolineBingley]

Seeing the love and support they are giving to each other - what a welcomed difference.

 

[Sally1214]

Awww .... tears from Kaori.

 

[Aceon6]

I hope Alysa gives her a big hug.

 

[Spikefan]

I wanted this for Kaori but I’m still going to be thrilled with this podium.

 

[flyingsit]

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

Hell no. She’s channeling Mikaela Shiffrin.

 

[Coco]

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.

But I think components are impacted by misses and omissions in the elements.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Aww shame for Kaori and she's obviously disappointed It's impossible not to feel bad for her. That shouldn't beat Alysa though. Probably not even close. Guessing PCS will hold her up over Mone?

She doesn't need PCS to hold her up. She has an SP lead over Mone, but her PCS should be higher.

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

I will never regret being a Kaori fan.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

But I think components are impacted by misses and omissions in the elements.

Not by rule.

 

[Matryeshka]

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.

Out of morbid curiosity, what did Russian Sports Tarot Lady predict?

 

[CantALoop]

Four Olympic medals for you Kaori Sakamoto, you go Sakamoto!

(and none for Eteri and Adelina bye)

 

[Karen-W]

Nope. She's about 2 points behind Alysa overall. Silver at the minimum for Alysa!

 

[tony]

Second by less than 2 points. Even a +2T may have done it with a higher GOE. Sigh.

 

[canbelto]

Aww man when Kaori started crying I cried. That was so sad.

 

[Perky Shae Lynn]

Incredible. Kaori is such a legend for her behavior in k/c. Pure grace.

 

[JoannaLouise]

I wanted Kaori to win so badly, but I'm relieved that it was at least enough for a medal

 

[my little pony]

it's because of those goofy walls, she couldn't get her back rub

 

[Perky Shae Lynn]

Aww man when Kaori started crying I cried. That was so sad.

I cried too.

 

[Braulio]

Ami Nakai for the upset win
