Practice reports, pics, clips, etc. from Prague 2026

[Sylvia]

Starting this thread early because I just noticed the Practice Groups/Music Rotation document has been published (March 21): https://isu-d8g8b4b7ece7aphs.a03.az...s/WC2026-MusicRotationAll-1774165496-8772.pdf

Colored Time & Practice schedule as of March 17: https://results.isu.org/schedules/WC2026_ColouredTimeSchedule.pdf

Official practices begin on Tuesday, March 24 (maybe we'll get some unofficial practice news starting tomorrow?).

Do we know if Peacock will stream any of the practices?

It looks like Worlds tiles aren't up yet.

Peacock (NBC) only streamed practices from the practice rink in Boston last year and none from the TD Garden. I've seen fans ask about this on isuprague2026's Instagram account but have yet to see a reply and there's nothing on the official website either.

Bummer. Thanks for the info.

As of now, I plan to record all the programs tomorrow (17 hours or whatever ) like I did in Boston.

Thank you. And I know Kevin will have a wonderful skate.

I passed out pretty quickly after my long day of travel, so I woke up in the middle of the night and will head to practice before it starts (it's now 3:43AM). I don't know whether it's open seating or not-- usually is-- but I'll try to find an area to film in relative peace.

People who purchased on TicketPortal, the tickets don’t scan and everyone is waiting for them to figure it out. They finally let a few of us in without scanning them.

Super super strict about bags and prohibited items. A bunch of people got turned away out of the 50 waiting to get in.

Practice seats are by actual competition seat. Ushers also kinda strict about it but when they see how many people show up for 6AM practice I think they will calm down.

@tony are the practice arena and the main rink far from each other?

[TAHbKA]

They are not on the practice rink now either

 

[Sylvia]

Piper posted an Instagram story with dogs 3 hours ago [ETA that the dogs were in the ISU’s “calm zone”] - the team arrived in Prague today.

 

[Rukia]

[Wyliefan]

Oh good.

 

[TAHbKA]

Jackie's live practice notes: https://live.rockerskating.com/practice/wc2026

"There it is - 3Lz3Lo from Isabeau Levito, she's already looking a whole lot better than she did in morning practice" https://x.com/rockerskating/status/2036472140803752371

ETA: "The practices this afternoon have been a real indicator that everyone was just sleepy this morning"

I guess I’m alone in thinking that a program requiring a blank-eyed Frankensteinish lady is better for Sarah than one that demands fire and passion.
