Have to wonder whether Madison and Evan are regretting having invited Sorensen to their wedding #MilanoCorino2026

ok I may be thinking from my emotions and disgust at this all: But maybe it was a bad idea to prop at the top for a whole quad a team that was not CLEARLY the best, who could be overtaken at the last minute by an incoming villain team #MilanoCortino2026

Welp. At least I can hope that with this win more light will be shone on this dodgy partnership? #MilanoCortina2026 Christine Brennan do your thing!

R/A so over-scored, their feet hardly move, seriously #MilanoCortina2026

I'm gonna give myself a break and not watch rhythm dance live. I'm kinda tired. Also, I kinda loathe the rhythm dance theme and do not want to subject myself to hours of Ricky Martin and cringing gyrating and finger pointing #MilanoCortina2026

Conflicted: Excited Yuma ogm agenda is ON, worried that Ilia doesn't look comfortable (injured? stressed?) and how bad it would be for him if he doesn't win after all that hype #MilanoCortina2026

ok I've solved the mystery of why I'm geo-blocked from #MilanoCortina2026 and yet can't watch fs. My national broadcaster is telecasting the opening and closing ceremonies and NOTHING ELSE and because of that I'm geo-blocked from everything 😖😭🙄

I will never not be annoyed by Gubs' cultural appropriation #MilanoCortina2026

I'm dying, everyone is going SPERM! It's a sperm trapped in a box! #MilanoCortina2026

goodness, how is that sperm-like thing a jump map? It doesn't tell me anything about the jump #MilanoCortina2026

SHIT!!! Sui/Han #MilanoCortina2026 They should have withdrawn, it's not too late

Anyone else feel a bit weird to see on a world stage athletes whom we follow so closely and feel we know so well. And whom we may have met if we go to competitions or had breakfast with if we wound up in skater hotel #MilanoCortina2026

Pretty bummed to not be able to get a Belinda feed. But it's kinda interesting to get the British commentators' take, so I'll live with it. BETTER THAN NOTHING *shakes fist at geo-blocking* #MilanoCortina2026

Wow, I really don't understand ice dance scoring (chock/bates ahead of FB/C (talking tech, moral standing aside) #MilanoCortina2026

Wow, Charlene and Marco killed it (for them), first time I'm not hating Backstreet Boys. Haha bbc commentators pretty critical of this choice of style for them, we knew that all season buddy, our bar is low and this is good to me #MilanoCortina2026

Who's commentating BBC? They know what they're talking about. Is it Christopher Dean?

I have two VPN services and neither are working for me, youtube is my only option where I am, but... 😭

Belinda is doing the Olympics! Let us all rejoice! @belindanoonan.bsky.social

Just remembered: At last year's 4CC Efimova / Mitrofanov sat behind me in the stands and I turned round and said that we the fans felt they should have won the Short. She said "thank you" and he said "next time". AND THEY DID WIN!!! 😍😍⛸️ #4contsfigure

I'd have given the silver to Nagaoka and Moriguchi #4contsfigure ⛸️ Gotta take a closer look at the protocols

Sui / Han - I don't know about this... I feel v nervous.. #4contsfigure ⛸️Yikeses oh good grief she can't even get up from her bow, Milano is not going to go well for them I don't think 😟

This is a big rink and Nagaoka/Moriguchi look like they don't have enough space and can crash into the boards ⛸️ #4contsfigure Oh no the throws! Anyway I think they should medal?

Are Sui / Han really going to do the Free? She looked like she needed to be stretchered off 😖⛸️ #4contsfigure But it's Wenjing she'll probably try to muscle through it...

Kao! Mommy, I'm scared... #4contsfigure ⛸️ Wow, never so happy to be proven wrong. But save something for Milan, ok? (ANYWAY ALL THESE BOYS NEED A HAIRCUT)

Shaido! Can he reverse his trajectory in time for Olys? #4contsfigure ⛸️Kind of, still not at his best, but a step in the right direction. (Dang, ALL these young men need a good haircut)

Going to Olys: Iffy 4CC skate (save your best!) Not going to Olys: Great 4CC skate Prediction: Kao flop #4contsfigure ⛸️

Bad camera work: overhead shots, what the what. Good camera work: picking out skaters in stands supporting their team mates, thank you, it's a cavernous and dark arena I don't know how you do it #4contsfigure ⛸️

Wow Sota! Best I've seen him skate in ages. I guess not having Olympics looming in your horizon gives you wings in 4CC 😅⛸️ #4contsfigure

Wow Kazuki! Maybe it's about not having to save anything for the olympics and going for broke in 4CC? #4contfigure ⛸️

C'mon Kazuki! Let's keep the no-Olympics-win-4CC vibe going! #4contfigure ⛸️

Oh Chris, all you need to do is listen to how the ring announcer pronounces names, she's doing a great job with names from all round the world. (JIN, Chris, JIN not yin) #4contfigure ⛸️

Bummer: Olympics will be 2-6am my time 😭 (the way I'm feeling now, i.e., OD-ed on skating, I might just wake up for the last group at 5am). The tiny bit of upside: If I do want to catch anything live, I have no clashing appointments or work obligations 😬⛸️

The Chinese ring announcer pronounces Donovan's name better than Chris Howarth 😂😂 #4contsfigure ⛸️

Wowzers, not even halfway and we are already seeing so many good skates. I really should have gone to Beijing instead of Sheffield #4contsfigure ⛸️

Wow! Finally a good skate from Yudong Chen, he's been so up and down, happy for him, wish China supported young skaters more (rather than holding up older ones, ahem) #4contsfigure ⛸️

I may have missed my chance to give Chris Howarth a lecture on name pronunciation but it seems someone else got to him because he's actually getting some tricky ones nearly right. I can almost hear him thinking before he pronounces! #4contfigure ⛸️

Dias Jirenbayev! Possibly my favourite non-top tier male skater. Apart from beautiful skating and expression (jumps are fake) he endeared himself to me by sitting in the stands at last year's 4CC and diligently watching ALL the other skaters. #4contsfigure ⛸️

Not making the Olympic team and then winning #4contsfigure is such a boss move. Yuna you will go down in history, who cares about Milano! ⛸️

My children Yuna Nagaoka / Sumitada Moriguchi did so good! I nearly cried with joy. When I saw him at last year's 4CC I said "you are our favourite new pair!" and wasn't I right! #4contsfigure ⛸️

Who are Su and Hang, Chris? Haha 🙄 #4contsfigure ⛸️

The Ricky Martin plague spreads to China! I muted my sound, I'm not even kidding 😭😭⛸️ #4contsfigure

Love love that Wang/Liu chose 90s cantopop for their rhythm dance #4contsfigure ⛸️ I bet Shawn Rettstatt doesn't vibe to cantopop, but what can he say? 😆

Every single time Chris butchers a Chinese name horribly I die a little bit inside. I should be so used to it by now, but I'm so not 😭😭⛸️ #4contsfigure

Yuna Aoki! That was a skate for the ages. In years to come, we will be pulling this one up and saying This is how you do it #4contsfigure ⛸️

Actually, now that I think of it, what I SHOULD have done on the two-hour train ride from Sheffield to London with Chris Howarth stuck in the seat behind me was give him a stern lesson on Chinese name pronunciation 😬⛸️"Repeat after me, Chris. Nope... Again... Again..."

Oh wait, Chris Howarth is in Beijing. Um, just looked up his photo. It was HE who sat behind me on the train from Sheffield to London 😬. I overheard him telling a couple of ISU peeps that he was going straight to 4CC and I assumed he was an official. Sorry Chris for not recognising you #4ContsFigure

Oh wow, 4CC stadium is emmmmptyyyyy #4ContsFigure Hopefully it will fill later in the day and over the weekend. When I was in that arena for GPF it was at first so empty we sat anywhere we liked, but at the end it was packed.

Low-key looking at the 4CC start list I wish I'd gone to beijing instead of Sheffield 😬⛸️

So many skating podcasts to listen to, so little time 😭⛸️ Actually, not complaining, I'm loving that there are so many points of view, some validating my opinions and some challenging them, but that's how we understand better

Judges sat behind me on train! At least I assume they r, cos one said hes going straight to 4cc. Hoping they'll spill tea but they're being quiet. Probably exhausted. Like me #eurofigure ⛸️
