2026 US Figure Skating Pairs SP "Choke and Stagger"

[Amy L]

I'm chatting with a friend from Slovakia about how to pronounce Balazs' name(s). It must have brought them good luck as they are guaranteed a Pewter medal at this point and maybe even higher based on what I am seeing from Chan/Howe.

They've been saying it right on the broadcast. Balash Nazh. Well, as right as an American mouth can manage

And oof to Emily and Spencer, they got the jinx from this event.

Ashley is trying to find something positive to say about Emily/Spencer but failing

 

[tony]

3 deduction, late start was indeed called it seems

 

[Lanie]

God what a disaster

 

[floridaice]

did they miss an element because of the throw issue?

 

[MacMadame]

Despite the final 45 seconds that was a disaster and honestly should go into last.

Sorry @Karen-W

Last? There are other teams who messed up some elements. So maybe 6th?

 

[Karen-W]

59.29 is a generous score for that skate

 

[PRlady]

And their coach walks out on them. Nice.

 

[ilovesalchows]

well they can catch up if she can start landing stuff. All these teams ahead of them have train wreck potential.

 

[Sarah]

And their coach walks out on them. Nice.

She has the next team too.

Sixth it is

I don't trust Ash & Ben on this.

 

[Wyliefan]

Who is the poster That just said something about things going so well?

Sorry, I jinxed it!

 

[Citlali]

They are both very very

Sadly, there is no hotness points in the TES

 

[Carolla5501]

And their coach walks out on them. Nice.

I guess the other team doesn’t get any coaching? Nice

 

[skipaway]

I was gonna post something similar.

Curious about EfimMit. They're making it sound like they're waiting for a Congressional miracle to happen in 4 days. Is this the official NBC narrative because ugh, out of all the stuff Congress could be doing...

Maybe we’ll find out during Sunday Olympic team announcements

 

[Citlali]

What is with the awful twists today?

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Well, that is the best they’ve ever skated.

 

[Karen-W]

did they miss an element because of the throw issue?

No, but the fall as they were setting up for the throw really threw them off and they had to quickly re-group.

Eff it - I'm going to start praying that Alisa's passport miracle happens because I don't want ShiNagy on that Olympic team after the way they lost the 3rd spot in September. I'd root for PlaFern but... There's no way they get through the FS clean & there's no way the USFS would send them over ShiNagy.

EfiMit - 3tw - nice; SBS 3t - landed; throw 3lo - good; lift - really nice; BODS - also good; step seq - actually pretty interesting moves; SBS spins - unison isn't the best, but it's done. This is going to blow past 70 easily.

 

[her grace]

Efimova/Mitrofanov

Nice hit on SBS 3t, some interesting details in the choreography, clean and precise

 

[myhoneyhoney]

Nice E/M!

 

[Wyliefan]

That was inspired. Of all tbe teams to be unable to go. Sigh.

 

[peibeck]

E/M superb speed and great elements except the sbs spin being too far apart. He needs more polish, but who's really looking at him? She's the star.

 

[PRlady]

That was great. And Efimova looks more American every day, any moment now she’ll be eating BBQ.

 

[Sarah]

E/M are so good.

 

[ilovesalchows]

I don’t know how she rotates with that bent leg.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

but who's really looking at him?

 

[peibeck]

Last? There are other teams who messed up some elements. So maybe 6th?

No other team bombed their sbs and throw and had a random fall.

 

[Karen-W]

DANG! 75.31 - Ellie & Danny really need to bring it if they want to win the title this week!

 

[slicekw]

That was really nice. Music kept the tension high.
