The Pairs Skating Free Skate is the penultimate Figure Skating gold medal event at Winter Olympics 2026, and after world champions and red-hot favorites Miura Riku and Kihara Ryuichi had a wobble in last night's Short Program, we're potentially looking at yet another shock.

Miura and Kihara reigned supreme in the Team Event last week, but succumbed to the pressure in the first part of the Pairs Skating program yesterday when Kihara inexplicably failed to get a grip of Miura's hand for their Axel lasso lift. They recovered well, but the devastation was written all over Kihara's face.

All, however, is not lost. The Japanese duo are fifth in the standings on 73.11 ahead of the finale, 6.9 points off leaders Minerva Fabienne Hase and Nikita Volodin of Germany. The Olympic debutants, who took silver at the world championships, set a personal best of 80.01, comfortably clear of European Champions Anastasiia Metelkina and Luka Berulava, who are within touching distance of securing Georgia's first ever Winter Olympics silverware.

Canada's Lia Pereira and Trennt Michaud are currently in bronze position, 0.73 points clear of Hungary's Maria Pavlova and Alexei Sviatchenko.

The top 16 pairs will peform their Free Skate routines in reverse order, with Hase and Volodin up last. Each routine must not exceed four minutes, and must include a trio of pair lifts, including a twist lift, two distinct throw jumps, a solo jump, a jump combination or sequence, a pair spin combination, a death spiral and a choreographic sequence.

It's these technical components that distinguish Pairs Skating from Ice Dancing. If you've caught the Figure Skating bug and fancy more of a deep dive before the Pairs Figure Skating finale and upcoming Women's Singles, the three-part Netflix docuseries Glitter & Gold: Ice Dancing has you covered.
