The Primetime NBC broadcast had a close up of the teeny mis-step by Madison Chock that caused a drop in level for one of the turns in a step sequence. It may have been shown on the live broadcast, too; I haven't checked my recording yet.

Teeny tiny errors. 🤷

Reminder for people following the #FigureSkating hashtag

Jackie has been posting, but only using #MilanoCortina2026. Really interested in seeing his recap.
📽️Join me in about an hour for a recap of everything that happened in the rhythm dance - you've got questions, and I may not have all the answers, but I'll try! #MilanoCortina2026

Okay, I love Scott Hamilton, but if someone's going to be expaining stuff to the non-skating audience right now, it should be an ice dancer, not a singles skater. Are *all* our US ice dancers busy with coaching (or whatever)? They couldn't find anybody?

#FigureSkating #MilanoCortina2026 Paul may not be as fun during "I'm too sexy" as Saulius, but he kills it during the cuts from "Supermodel". Love this RD for P&P.

Asking once again why NBC can't keep the live sports in the big window and the ads in the little window.

I thought I saw Anthony & Christina getting out of unison in the twizzles. I hate being right. 😭

Oh please let them keep this RD as an exhibition after the season is over.

It is just too much fun watching Saulius skate to "I'm Too Sexy".
New thread for the final two groups of the rhythm dance. I cannot WAIT for the world to discover Saulison's "I'm Too Sexy" #figureskating #MilanoCortina2026

Emilea and Vadym hit every moment in that RD. They've been skating so well all season and they found another notch on the volume knob today. #MilanoCortina2026 #figureskating

#FigureSkating #MilanoCortina2026 life hack

If you need a phone stand to watch the Olympics on the sly at work, a business card holder works nicely to hold a smartphone in landscape mode.
Tablet NBC feed, Phone is work, TV is venue feed.

I’m sure work doesn’t hear Will Smith in the background. 😬

Slyly (?) multi-tasking during

Watching venue feed on the big tablet, Peacock NBC feed on my phone, xfinity TV NBC live TV on my small tablet.

Venue feed is ahead of NBC. Different ads on NBC (xfinity TV) and NBC (Peacock).

I am liking the overhead camera views, now that they're being sensible instead of spinning around spins. The rink looks so small when all we get is the view from the boards.

I love this program so much of Hannah & Ye's so much.

Shame about the twizzle.

Peacock on the tablet is slightly ahead of USA on linear. Kind of like having instant replay on the big screen.

Did you spot Amber in the Starbucks "coffee run" ad yesterday?
February 9, 2026 at 6:56 PM
#FigureSkating #MilanoCortana2026 Whenever people ooh and ahh over Olympic medals, I remember that the Olympics are really a mutant competition compared to what these athletes have been doing all year.
Am I crazy or is the #figureskating schedule kind of weird? Instead of doing all the short programs for all disciplines and then all the long programs, we are just going ice dance rd/fd, men’s short and long, pairs short and long, and finally women’s? That’s a WEIRD cadence. #MilanoCortina2026
