2026 Worlds Mens FS PBP - You Will Score Something, But Not Nothing

[made_in_canada]

Good job, Gogo! Not easy to skate after Yuma!

 

[Colonel Green]

If Yuma hadn't just skated like he did, that would be a potential podium skate, but as it, Stephen will likely have to settle for a very high placement.

 

[miffy]

Wow! 2 amazing skates in a row! I'm so so happy for Canada that GoGo has transformed and is so consistent and confident now. Hopefully we'll see him on many podiums in future.

 

[marbri]

What a season this has been for Stephen! And his laces stayed in place as well

 

[JoannaLouise]

Gogolev did it again!

It would have been a very long shot for him to make the podium, given how many other talented guys are in this final group, but I just wanted to see him have another strong performance - and he delivered!

 

[Spikefan]

Great job Stephen, about as good as he could do.

 

[Desperado]

Stephen looked so calm, that must help him compete. Great job!

His future is so bright. Canada finally has dependability in the Men's.

 

[PRlady]

Well that was impressive, Stephen. After Yuma, that was even more difficult. Good job!

 

[Karen-W]

I'm not sure that Tatiana and Roman's kid can top that.

He has a considerable lead, so he could still lose the FS and win overall though.

Depends on which Ilia we get today. If we get GPF Ilia then he will top what Yuma did by 25 points. Even if we get a slightly less than GPF Ilia where he doesn't go for the 4Lo, he's still more than capable of topping Yuma's FS score. And with the SP lead... He's got some room to play with here, though I'm hoping that we don't see a repeat of Milano.

Gogo is skating great too! He'll easily be no worse than 6th and that's a remarkable result considering where he was just a year ago.

 

[Cachoo]

GoGo is 21. So excited for his future...

 

[Firedancer]

A couple iffy landings but good for Gogolev skating after Yuma. Please work on performance

 

[Sally1214]

YESSSSSSSSSSS!!! Gogolev does it again! SOOOO happy for him.

 

[kirkbiggestfan]

Standing O from Roman S!

 

[jadingirl]

Great job

 

[PRlady]

Sasha Cohen for me.

No, Takahashi!

 

[Matryeshka]

Awww, Kevin, preparing the way. May Yuma stay there. Till the end.

Gogolev is a necessary cool down after Yuma. If Selevko or Yuma or Ilia had skated next, my poor brain could not have handled it. This is not a knock at Gogolev's skating--I'm just the least invested in him and need the emotional break. That's...a heckuva tech score for him.

Olympic women: we're the best ever. Bow down to our amazingness.

Worlds men: hold my quad.

 

[Habs]

I’m so impressed with Stephen and the incredible consistency he’s found this year. Wow.

 

[millyskate]

Judges do love Kagiyama. He gets more GOE than others with equal or better elements.
But that was a great skate

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

I totally would not mind seeing gogo on the podium.

 

[slicekw]

Can there ever be too many burnt male firebirds?

 

[Matryeshka]

Fly, fire bird, fly!!!!

 

[canbelto]

I low-key hate Yuma's Turandot program but great skate from him.

 

[Vagabond]

I hope that Sarah Everhardt is somewhere in the arena watching this.

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

Firebird is on fire!

 

[personwhoishere]

Can there ever be too many burnt male firebirds?

Unfortunately it's one of the warhorses I've never been able to get into, so I'd be happy with zero xD

Same

 

[Private Citizen]

Probably in the minority but I prefer Gogolev to Sato. He had better spins and steps and skated with more speed and presence.

 

[Matryeshka]

Someone needs to make a meme comparing and contrasting Keven and Stephen's reactions in the kiss and cry. I feel like Stephen will one day go after Solya/Benoit's title of King of the Vam-pyre.

 

[Cachoo]

Team Japan killing it today!

 

[Desperado]

Wow! 2 amazing skates in a row! I'm so so happy for Canada that GoGo has transformed and is so consistent and confident now. Hopefully we'll see him on many podiums in future.

IIRC, it's his 7th and 8th in 2026. Two at the Nationals, four at the Olympics (his first) and now (his first Worlds). No hint of imploding, a wonderful achievement.
