My last two brain cells processing what just happened....
#figureskating #milanocortina2026
Don’t! I watch so much skating and used to be a figure skater (though never judged under this system), and I only just learned this. I feel like commentators heavily imply that it’s -5 to +5 points because it’s simpler and most GOEs end up being in that range anyway?
Unfortunately the theme for ice dance this season seems to be Oops All Crimes.
Going into the free dance, a message from guillaume cizeron’s ex partner, gabrielle papadakis. Explaining how he got her fired from her commentary job and why it’s so important to call out abuse in the sport.

At least it will be over after today.
Yeah, this is correct (I only just learned this right before the Olympics!). +5 means the element’s base value is increased by 50%, while -5 means it’s decreased by 50%. So a triple axel has a BV of 8.00 points, which is why skaters usually get 4.00 points total for it if it’s a straightforward fall
If you can bring yourself to root for the French ice dancing pair of Cizeron and Fournier Beaudry, you are a very different person than me! www.cbc.ca/sports/olymp...
It’s only day 3 and between this and the expected Surya Bonaly backflip discourse, I’m already so Tired.
What a fun event, she thinks as she collapses in a puddle of anxiety and emotion. #MilanoCortina2026 #figureskating
Men’s!
Really fun and also super stressful 😅
I looked this up last night lol. It’s the combined placement points of your highest two disciplines. If that’s still a tie, you go to scores.
ELLIE KAM QUEENNNNN #MilanoCortina2026 #figureskating
I think today’s her first time in the booth, so there’s no way you could have known! It’s cool that the skaters can go support even if they’re not doing the team event.
Alysa, Amber, and Isabeau have all been in the team booth, so I think anyone on the country’s team can be there?
Every Olympics I get a little bit worse at staying up to watch stuff live 🥱😴
The three time US World Champion figure skater is a queer woman
Put that in your pipe and smoke it America
THANK YOU AMBER
THANK YOU ALYSA
THANK YOU ISABEAU
THANK YOU BRADIE
THANK YOU SARAH
