2026 Olys Womens SP PBP - Cheated Rivalry

[Karen-W]

I don't usually mind PMJ covers but that one was just awful and didn't suit Julia at all.

 

[overedge]

What was wrong with the original Seven-Nation Army?

it's boring

 

[Wyliefan]

I read someone on Threads who said they only watch figure skating if they are commentating because they LOVE THEM. I thought of FSU immediately, of course.

Seeing a lot of that on social media. Inside the skating bubble and outside the skating bubble are two very different places.

Butyrskaya is somewhere in Russia tapping her toes to this short.

If there were ever a skater who would have loved a Team Event

 

[MacMadame]

I would guess this cover is easier to choreograph for than the original. I would love to see someone skate to the original though.

It's Postmodern Jukebox and a lot of people like how they make rock songs jazzy so I see the appeal.

Isn't there a dance or pairs team that has a bit of the original in their long program this season?

 

[Reuven]

There is zero criteria in the rules where arm variation in jumps influences GOE.

Yeah, there is that.

 

[Private Citizen]

Really nice 3Lz3T from Sauter - where did that come from?!?!? But then at least a q and possibly a < on the loop. Still, a very good score for her.

 

[MsZem]

it's boring

NEGATIVE REP THIS EVERYONE!!!

I read someone on Threads who said they only watch figure skating if they are commentating because they LOVE THEM. I thought of FSU immediately, of course.

I mean if I was watching a judged sport like halfpipe or something I would get a lot more out of it with commentary than without seeing as I have no idea what to look for. But I wouldn't be surprised if snowboarding uberfans find the commentators annoying/uneducated.

[Karen-W]

Whoa. And now we've got Isabeau in a Deloitte commercial. Lots of different skaters picking up endorsement deals these Olympics.

 

[Jay42]

Love seeing a seasons best and Q for Julia

 

[Aaron MB Fan]

Amazing skate by Julia!!! PB!! And sooo happy when she realizes she’s easily qualified for the long program!! Such maturity and power to her skating.

 

[tangerine dream]

Something about Sauter reminds me of Sarah Meier.

 

[Sally1214]

Really enjoyed that from Julia. Loved her dress. Carol said she's 28 years old? And, you guys all like her, it seems. Y'all need to leave Boyang alone!

 

[Hanna]

Let's go Olga my sentimental fave!

 

[floridaice]

Love that K&C!

 

[PRlady]

Yay Julia! Go Olga!

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Very nice score for Sauter and she gets the Q!

 

[MacMadame]

Whoa. And now we've got Isabeau in a Deloitte commercial. Lots of different skaters picking up endorsement deals these Olympics.

It's nice. Skating is so expensive.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Olga is going to tell us all about the stages of life and acceptance of aging in a 2 minute 50 second program.

 

[my little pony]

team NJ!

 

[Skaterbob]

If everyone's slide transitions looked like Olga's I would be okay with them.

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

Really enjoyed that from Julia. Loved her dress. Carol said she's 28 years old? And, you guys all like her, it seems. Y'all need to leave Boyang alone!

The only thing consistent about FSU posters, like our favourite skaters, is inconsistency.

 

[Private Citizen]

Not surprised to see all of Mikutina's jumps marked for review .

How does anyone listen to this music? Though I feel like I could say that about most things today....

 

[my little pony]

this singer sounds like she has seen some shit, and maybe some cigarettes

 

[millyskate]

Lots of Euro ladiez bringing it today

 

[Sylvia]

NBC (USA Network is their cable channel) showed a room of students at Montclair State University in New Jersey all cheering for Olga before she skated!

 

[Wyliefan]

Hate these vocals, but she's having a lot of fun with it!
