2026 Olys Womens SP PBP - Cheated Rivalry

[my little pony]

ok you stingy bint judges, put an 80 something on my actual biological daughter and her human trafficking I mean circus program

 

[VALuvsMKwan]

Very pleased for her!

 

[susieB129]

I didn't stop smiling the entire time.

 

[Nadin]

Wow, I can’t believe she’s only 17. Well done!!

 

[slicekw]

I am not certain if this music is too big for her or not, but she did an amazing job of bringing the energy tonight. Great job for Nakai!

 

[itsartemis]

Ami is wonderful!!!

 

[annie_mg]

AMIIIII you did it girl! I'm so happy for her. She is a wonderful skater and I don't understand anyone who calls her juniorish. There are many older senior women who could never interpret the music like Ami does.

 

[Bunny Hop]

Nakai - That was excellent. Still don't understand her costume, but that's not relevant.

 

[Hedwig]

Ami

 

[MsZem]

Ami is adorable and the skate was

She was also less than two years old when Takahashi won an Olympic medal and the World title skating to La Strada

 

[Finnice]

Great skate from Ami!!! Obviously she does not know the whole story of La Strada.

 

[beckab81]

OMG, Ami's smile at the end was perfection, what a great Olympic debut!

 

[PRlady]

Good girl, Ami!

Oh to be 18 and have nothing to lose….

 

[Karen-W]

LMAO. Guys, Nakai's success rate on the 3A is so freakin' hit or miss that it will take a downright miracle for her to hit it again in the FS on Thursday. But, I'll be okay with her taking the lead over Petrosian by a wide margin today.

 

[Sally1214]

Way to go, Ami!!! Fantastic skate!

 

[Matryeshka]

I have liked this program all seaosn, this is the first time I've loved it. +5 adorable points--that's a thing right?

 

[ilovepaydays]

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!

TRUTH. It’s also what Scott Hamilton just said to Mike Tirico: Do the short program, do it well, don’t make any mistakes.

 

[umronnie]

She's gonna win the whole thing

I can live with that

 

[Wyliefan]

Thrilled for her! She was just radiating joy!

 

[Rob]

Ami Nakai- Triples and Joy are a recipe for Gold.

 

[tony]

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

It was Leonova and Makarova by then. Much bigger step up. But still not final group.

 

[Lanie]

We’re about to land in New York, so I can’t watch anything, but I’m glad Ami did well!!

 

[Carolla5501]

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

FINALLY

 

[Karen-W]

New SB by .71 but nearly 6 points ahead of Petrosian!

 

[Colonel Green]

Great skate from Ami!!! Obviously she does not know the whole story of La Strada.

I think they choreographed it as “Happy Circus” which La Strada is most definitely not.

 

[Braulio]

78.71!!!

 

[Allen]

Yeah, the music of La Strada doesn't make you really think about what actually happens in the film.

 

[Colonel Green]

Good luck, Maddie!
