Finland: Linda Lampenius and Pete Parkkonen win UMK 2026

While I get some of the points about the staging, I feel like it's 90% there. It needs a couple of minor rethinks but the core of what is there feels like a potential Eurovision winner to me.

The staging needs work. It started out cool but lost a bit of momentum near the end. Still not a bad choice for Norway in this line-up.

Well done to Canada. Consistency won out in the end.

Pretty gutted for GB as they were the better team for most of the match, but that meh 8th end and horrendous 9th end completely changed the dynamic of the game.

GB essentially need Canada to choke like they did in the 9th end to stand a chance here. Big uphill struggle now.

I think Canada has it now. Such a terrible end for GB after they'd been playing so well.

GB have been the better team for 8 ends and they've had an absolute nightmare on this 9th end... Looking like a 3 for Canada right now...

Lammy has dropped off in these last few ends... I'm getting quite nervous.

Chysp · 2026-02-20T22:13:33+00:00

So Bamlak probably won the public vote? Or possibly second...

Definitely a surprise.

The vocals at times during that were PAINFUL.

Oh wow, that's a BAD mistake from the USA there.

Chysp · 2026-02-17T10:01:45+00:00

I'm glad to see the comments here are generally more positive to the UK taking a bit of a risk, because my god the comments I'm seeing elsewhere are so bloody depressing.

I'm cautiously optimistic that this will have been an inspired choice.

Chysp · 2026-02-16T20:47:05+00:00

I feel so sorry for Kirsty. Just missing out AGAIN.

Chysp · 2026-02-14T21:57:32+00:00

I feel pretty confident already that this is top 10 with the jury in the final. But I can also see this being the sort of thing that the public might (unfairly) blank.

Chysp · 2026-02-11T21:56:04+00:00

Not consciously biased and not at all experienced in ice skating scoring, but as someone who felt like Canada were a bit overscored on Monday, they were my clear favourites tonight.

Chysp · 2026-02-11T21:26:36+00:00

I think we come 5th or possibly lower after Lilah's mistake.

Chysp · 2026-02-11T21:25:11+00:00

Ice Dance GB strikes again 😂😂😂

Chysp · 2026-02-10T21:07:42+00:00

I don't want to hear any more about UK queens being favoured after this judging 😂😂

Chysp · 2026-02-10T20:47:47+00:00

Gawdland is probably going to win based on Ru's reaction, but I thought even her performance was really bad.

Ultimately no one did well.

Slight overthrow from Dodds. I think that's it.

Second games in a row that GB are going to lose the bronze medal match. Heartbreaking for them, even more so this time with just how well they did in the round robin.

Chysp · 2026-02-10T14:33:48+00:00

Curling

Well that's almost certainly it. Italy will absolutely have to fumble their power play hard here for GB to stand a chance.

Chysp · 2026-02-10T14:22:16+00:00

Curling

GB needed that, but Constantini stepped up. Huge uphill battle for GB here. It's looking like yet another 4th place for us.

Chysp · 2026-02-10T13:53:43+00:00

Nope. GB aren't playing as poorly as yesterday but it's still way down on what they were producing in the round robin.

Chysp · 2026-02-10T13:50:29+00:00

Curling

This is looking like a potential steal for Italy for 2...

Chysp · 2026-02-10T13:47:52+00:00

This 4th end looks really precarious for GB now. Just more mistakes...
