2026 Olys Womens SP PBP - Cheated Rivalry

[Allen]

I can't with that Kerrigan spiral that doesn't even try. AT ALL. Nothing is finished. shoulders up above her ears from the start. Nothing has gone anywhere. The fierce attitude doesn't match the skating.

Bad Kerrigan spirals and wonky Ina Bauers just about do me in

 

[jenny12]

Yay! She's so happy and sweet

So happy she’s in first though I would have given her more for PCS.

 

[Bill Trenary]

That won't make the FS, but Kurakova does?

 

[Karen-W]

Schizas is going to be lucky to qualify with the turns between the combo and then only a double loop with zero points. She may make it through on skate order, but TBH in a fair world she'd be watching the free on TV. 27 TES ... maybe she won't make it, especially if there's an UR in tehre.

TES already dropping - might not get a UR but I'm guessing a q at the minimum. There's no way she's making it to the FS unless the judges really overmark her on PCS - which I wouldn't put it past them.

 

[Aceon6]

God I hope the venue feed comes back

ETA it’s back

Thanks skategods. And I’m sure Madi is kinda glad that only half the North American audience saw that short.

 

[Wyliefan]

Hard to see her so distraught.

 

[tony]

Coaches were told NOT to look up protocols in the kiss and cry on their phones, I've heard it repeatedly yet Schizas coach doesn't give AF

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

She did not qualify.

[Colonel Green]

Surprisingly close to qualifying for the free skate despite all that.

 

[my little pony]

Canadians love k & c math, I could never w/o a giant monitor and TG to explain it

 

[Karen-W]

That won't make the FS, but Kurakova does?

She already has. She scored 60.14 for her SP so she got a Q right away.

Schizas misses the FS by .25 and Schild gets in!

 

[Braulio]

Wow Schizas

 

[umronnie]

Go Loena. May the skategods give you strength one more time.

 

[Rob]

The US commercial with the little red headed girl in her room with her stuffed animals watching her pretend to win the Olympics. That was me.

 

[Bunny Hop]

Come on Loena! I do want to see you in the Free.

 

[kemc]

 

[Allen]

You know, I used to hate the music of Celine Dion (not her, just the music). Then I saw Titanique twice and I am like

 

[Karen-W]

I love Loena's dress. That's all.

She knew there wasn't much they could do if she didn't make the free...

 

[Matryeshka]

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.

I don't know that anyone calls her SP juniorish or really her skating. I think most of us think her LP music to the Disneyfied version of Wonderful World is juniorish, not her skating itself. I believe most of us have said that music is beneath her ability and interpretation skills.

 

[tony]

Loena not rotating her 3T like usual but this is a lot better than I expected after being around her team the other night. Lutz.. the edge.

The tech panel seems on top of it.

 

[Skaterbob]

Loena stunning visually as always, I actually like the dance program from the test event better than w/e this is

Ridiculous. She shouldn’t give a ****.

 

[Jay42]

Loena fighting for her jumps a bit but she landed them

 

[MacMadame]

Hönde tje cat just come to watch the last 2 groups.

As did Mr Mac.

 

[Hanna]

Wow that performance truly came from the heart! Absolutely wonderful! Had no expectations so this makes me so happy!

 

[Theatregirl1122]

That won't make the FS, but Kurakova does?

Kurakova doubled a the planned back half of her combo, which still counts. A double on the solo triple is 0 points. Maddie also had a mistake on the combo as well. Her program was clearly much lower in TES than Kurakova. I don't think I get the confusion.

 

[Viktoria]

You know, I used to hate the music of Celine Dion (not her, just the music). Then I saw Titanique twice and I am like

I recently visited Quebec City, and Celine was piped into every business and restaurant. Or so it seemed.
