Tatiana Tarasova:

"Adeliia is in 5th place, and overall, she skated exactly to that placement. Her performance was good, and she will compete in the final warm-up group for the free skate. This is her first experience skating among a star-studded lineup at the Olympics. We’ll know better the day after tomorrow what condition she’ll be in for the free program.

Petrosian has every chance of fighting for a medal, but to say she’s currently competing for gold against Kaori Sakamoto - that’s nonsense."

Junhwan Cha: “It’s not about missing a medal. I think the scores were a bit low considering how I performed. But I gave it my all, and that fact will never change. I feel like I’ve wrapped up my third Olympics well and am accepting the outcome.”

Evgeni Plushenko: “Based on her short program, Sofia Samodelkina should not be in 12th place – she deserved a much higher ranking.”

Amber Glenn for the Washington Post on her SP at the Olympics:

“When you do a double in the short you get nothing so it’s just, ‘oh it’s gone,’ You can’t go back in time and fix it.

I didn’t skate and get off [the ice]."

She thought about the Norwegian skier at this Olympics who straddled a gate in the slalom and threw his poles down and walked away, disappearing into the nearby woods.

"Like, I wish I could go do that. Like I have to go out there, and they expect you to smile, and they expect you to still perform like you’re having the time of your life when in reality your dreams were just smashed to pieces.

The devastation yesterday didn’t come from ‘oh, I lost my chance at a medal,’ I was devastated that I lost the happiness and the enjoyment that I wanted to have out there on the ice to say, like, I fought for everything I did, everything I could, and that’s what I truly wanted, and that’s what I missed out on."

Evgeni Plushenko: “Petrosian only six points behind the leader. The key question is how many quads we’ll see in her FP. They are absolutely necessary to compete for gold. Ideally, she needs to land two.”

Tatiana Tarasova praised Amber Glenn's free skate at the 2026 Milan Olympics:

"Amber Glenn skated magnificently. To be honest, I didn’t notice any major mistakes - there was a small error, but it was nothing significant.

I’ve never seen an axel like that, not from any other female skater. I’ve seen plenty of axels - after all, I worked with a Japanese girl who performed the axel even in the short program - but I have never seen a jump executed with such quality."

Adeliia Petrosian: “Not doing a quad wasn’t an option. I didn’t really have a choice.” & “It’ll be difficult emotionally to return to Russia. I feel ashamed about how things turned out – for myself, the federation, my coaches, and the fans.”

Sonoko Nakano, Kaori Sakamoto's coach:

"Kaori has become a strong skater in so many ways. To shoulder such high expectations and power through with only minor mistakes is incredible. I was so happy when we earned bronze last time. Feeling sad about silver this year is truly a luxury."

Ami Nakai: “When I saw the number ‘3’ next to my name, I thought, ‘Well, I guess I didn’t make it after all.’ Then, I realized it meant I had won the bronze medal. I was completely shocked and even wondered if it was real.”

“How long have you been living together?” Kihara, tilting his head as if thinking, answered, “Hmm, I’m not quite sure.” Miura casually responded, “We’re always together, so it just feels like the norm now.”

Boyang Jin:

"When I stand on the Milan ice, I feel a special sense of nostalgia. I miss the skaters of my generation. That sounds old, doesn't it? I really miss the men in the final group of 2018. Now, only Cha Junhwan remains; the others have all retired."

Ami Nakai on Kaori Sakamoto:

"Kao-chan seemed very disappointed, and she cried. Watching her work so hard moved me, so I was heartbroken as well. Even then, she told me, ‘Congratulations’ and said, ‘You did amazing.’ I was really touched by her words."
