2026 Olys Womens SP PBP - Cheated Rivalry

[Sylvia]

3A, 3Lz+3T & 3Lo all landed by Ami!

 

[canbelto]

Ami has such a smooth glide on the ice.

 

[Wyliefan]

Aww, look how happy she is, bless her.

 

[allezfred]

The quality from Nakai.

 

[ilovepaydays]

Nakai is skating very well, but she’s also skating about 10-15 younger than this music.

 

[Private Citizen]

Yes!!!! Nakai! Give her all the marks and clear the yellow blob on the axel; it was clean! I don't care if her programs are girly. She's fresh and fun and has a joie de vivre we haven't seen since Tara Lipinski. I don't just want her to medal; I want her to WIN! No lifetime achievement awards for skaters who haven't kept up with the times!

 

[Bill Trenary]

She's gonna win the whole thing

 

[Hanna]

Japanese skating skills

 

[miffy]

Too cute! Give her all the points!

 

[Karen-W]

Well, Ami's going to, for sure, knock Petrosian out of the lead.

FWIW, I hate this twee program but she does a much better job of selling it than Petrosian does with her atrocious MJ program, so her PCS better surpass Petrosian by a LOT.

Living la dolce vida with Ami's 3A La Strada!

 

[ilovesalchows]

What a cutie!

 

[skategal]

YAS!!! Love the 3A. Woohoo!!

 

[Colonel Green]

Great job!

Also, I'm 100% sure she has no idea what La Strada is about.

 

[NinjaTurtles]

3A looked clean to me, but I was rushing into the room?

 

[umronnie]

I love Ami Nakai. Always makes me smile.

 

[Spikefan]

Fabulous!

 

[Skaterbob]

I still say Ami sparkled more in her France debut but this was great for Olympic pressure.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Daaaaamn. Ami making a play to win the whole short program.

 

[Citlali]

Ami

 

[Viktoria]

I love stripes. Flashback to Kiira Korpi.

 

[tangerine dream]

2010

Ah yes, the blight years of Russian women. We must never forget Ksenia Doronina, 2-time Russian champion!

 

[Aussie Willy]

Wow Nakai. She really brought it.

 

[Jay42]

That was great from Ami!

 

[Yazmeen]

OMG, that was amazing!!! Such JOY!!!

 

[Cachoo]

Wonderful!
