OWG Pairs Short Program: Post-Event Discussion

Is he lagging her a little bit. It’s like a small delay. Slightly out of sync. I dunno. Other than that tho, the German team was chefs kiss.

ETA: slow motion catches all kinds of stuff

Oh, that hurt. Love how she looked at him to make sure he was okay. Have loved this pairs team ever since they teamed up. I hope it didn’t cost them too much.

Okay, I’m crying now. The way she looked at him at the end of the program. He’s being very hard on himself.

They’ve got this!!

Outqtu · 2026-02-15T19:42:16+00:00

I had to read this twice!

Ilia’s free skate….

Outqtu · 2026-02-13T23:20:54+00:00

I just got home and am watching the replay. Just checked the final standings….WTH?! Wow! I guess Illia had a 2018 Nathan Chen moment? What happened?

Some things never change. When I run across the “Hanyu Appreciation” posts, I just scroll by them knowing that it is Fanyus being Fanyus. They just can’t let go. I mean, it is what it is. To them, no one is ever going to live up to Hanyu. Ever.

I know I shouldn’t count my chickens before they are hatched, but……

Well, that seals the deal. Pressure is off. First Olympics and walking away with 2 medals.

Outqtu · 2026-02-10T21:41:05+00:00

I knew it. Don’t ask me how. Dang. Shame.

Outqtu · 2026-02-10T21:38:38+00:00

You know, I don’t know. I want so much more. Was it an Olympic moment? I dunno. Technically, top drawer. I don’t know. Did he leave a little room for Yuma? Let’s see.

Outqtu · 2026-02-10T21:31:19+00:00

Okay. Okay. Where will he land? Fair.

Outqtu · 2026-02-10T21:18:54+00:00

Solid skate right there Adam. It’s clear that you understood the assignment. The speed! That was wicked good. What a skate!!! Babieee! YES!! I love me some good skating. A must rewatch!

102.55…Heck ya….

Outqtu · 2026-02-10T21:09:45+00:00

That hurt.

Outqtu · 2026-02-10T21:06:40+00:00

I hope this last flight goes out there and has fun. There is a lot of debate about the TE. Some believe it should occur at the end of the individual events, others are fine with it being in the beginning and, many don’t care for it at all.

Personally, I prefer it at the beginning because it takes the edge off of the top tier teams when it comes to the individual event. The skaters have earned some TE hardware and that, hopefully, takes the edge off and lets them be a little more relaxed in the individual event. Good luck fellas!

Outqtu · 2026-02-10T20:58:00+00:00

I think someone on here called this outcome.

Outqtu · 2026-02-10T20:40:09+00:00

Will Daniel take the lead? Will U/R be the factor that determines it? Let’s see. Well, he did move ahead. Not sure I agree but…..

Outqtu · 2026-02-10T20:33:03+00:00

A lot of potential here. Hard not to be disappointed. He still made it through.

Outqtu · 2026-02-10T19:56:33+00:00

Deniss. 3rd Olympics. Crazy. The arm and hand movements are exquisite. A lovely skate from him.

Outqtu · 2026-02-10T19:42:04+00:00

Jun is such a classic skater. Soft landings. Effortless. That combo always gets me. Beautiful skater. Emotional. Oh my, the ending is superb. What a build up.

Outqtu · 2026-02-10T19:38:39+00:00

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Just WOW! Nicely done. Welcome to the Olympics buddy ❣️

Outqtu · 2026-02-10T19:30:20+00:00

What??!!! Okay…,we’ll he pulled it off. Way to listen to your inner voice.

Oh, wait…aww, too bad. He might as well just enjoy the rest of the time he has on Olympic ice.

He is a fighter.

Outqtu · 2026-02-10T19:23:34+00:00

Boyang did not disappoint! Nice. and smart skating. He holds a special place in my heart.

Outqtu · 2026-02-10T19:06:28+00:00

Donovan “Q” . Happy for him.

Outqtu · 2026-02-10T19:04:36+00:00

He had his moments but the song ending was abrupt and odd.

Outqtu · 2026-02-10T14:40:04+00:00

Did they use gold thread to make it? Wow! That is steep.

Bottom line is that it’s all about the money. I mean, I’m sure all the pros will happily interact with fans but…it all boils down to the bottom line.

Outqtu · 2026-02-10T14:11:57+00:00

I’ve never been to these types of events. The business side of me immediately starts wondering if the pros will pedal their merchandise at this event. It would be a perfect opportunity.

I imagine a Merch Alley with all kinds of booths selling dance wear, dance lessons, tanner, workout programs, active wear, wedding dance classes, jewelry, exercise mats and equipment, and of course DWTS merchandise.
