2026 Olys Womens SP PBP - Cheated Rivalry

[susieB129]

That short program felt loooooooooooong.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

The combination is going to be a bit of disappointment, and it will be interesting to see whether this level of technical difficulty is enough for the free skate.

Yeah, if 5 skaters have disasters, she'll be fine. If everyone skates relatively well, it could be a challenge.

 

[Braulio]

A very bland and empty presentation

 

[kirkbiggestfan]

The Men on Friday the 13th and the Women on Fat Tuesday!

 

[Elisheba]

She emotes more than Feigin...

 

[skatingguy]

[tangerine dream]

There was nothing interesting or memorable about that skate.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Tara saying she got a Q, but not very clear on what.

 

[PRlady]

Safanova continued her remarkable record of boredom.

 

[Jay42]

Kurt saying it's unusual to have a long wait like this doesn't happen all the time when there's reviews

 

[Messalina]

What is this dreadful music that Safonova is skating to? Bio says it's "Besame Mucho". We may have a new contender for worst cover!

Oh no, the bar is much lower than that!

 

[MacMadame]

She also seems to not want to be here which given how hard Russia fought to have athletes here is interesting. I wonder how the AIN athletes have been treated. I'm assuming not badly but maybe not warmly either.

 

[Hedwig]

Another AIN?

not only that but a boring one a that. I would not have so much against someone from Belrussia competing - but since she is rent a Russian anyway, I am not enamored.

 

[Sally1214]

I'm here with my mobile hotspot set up since Xfinity is doing service work in my area again and who the hell knows how frequently my internet/cable will keep going in and out today.

Wonder who thought it was a good idea to do service work during the Olympics? Obviously someone who is not a sports fan.

 

[flyingsit]

I think Michael Jackson music should be a -5 deduction.

 

[Wyliefan]

Patented Danny kick!

 

[Prancer]

I think her undergraduate degree is in Psychology. Not sure if she has a higher degree

That is a profession where you need advanced degrees to get a lot of the jobs in the field.

She said that she IS training to be a psychologist, so I assume she is in the process of getting an advanced degree.

 

[VALuvsMKwan]

Evil Sasha Cohen?

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

Another AIN?

One for Russia, One for Belarus.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

The qualifying score at worlds last year was a 50.98, for reference.

 

[Wyliefan]

All the injustice.

 

[tangerine dream]

What is it with Russians and Michael Jackson?

 

[Elisheba]

doesn't sound like the audience is super into this.

 

[Braulio]

how I missed those jumps with arms above the head...not

 

[skategal]

I feel like she could be skating to any music (except for the crotch grab.) lol

 

[Sylvia]

She said that she IS training to be a psychologist, so I assume she is in the process of getting an advanced degree.

Wagner got her BSc. psychology degree at Northeastern University and is "working toward her Doctorate in Sport and Performance Psychology with a specialization in mental health counseling from the University of Western States." June 2025 post: https://www.instagram.com/p/DLFOZpEAxZI/
Back to the skating...

 

[my little pony]

this short feels so long! maybe it's all the random kicking the air

 

[delayedaxel]

Now that was a fun program to watch!

 

[ilovesalchows]

Is this choice of music trying to say something? (other than certain documentaries aren't available in Russia)

 

[Karen-W]

Ugly hunched back & stretch into that combo for Petrosian. Glad to see it's under review. She's not doing that great of a job looking up at the audience. Also, this is one of the most WTF MJ medleys I've ever heard in figure skating.
