Milan Olympics Recap: Pairs

Jackie recaps all the drama and history from the Pairs event at the 2026 Winter Olympics. He breaks down how Miura and Kihara delivered one of the most memorable free skates of the Games — storming from fifth after the short program to claim Olympic gold and make history for Japan, walks through Metelkina and Berulava’s amazing silver medal performance — another milestone, as it became Georgia’s first Winter Olympic medal — and how Hase and Volodin fought their way onto the podium for bronze. Jackie also looks at how hometown favorites Conti and Macii skated in front of the Italian crowd, how the Americans Chan and Howe and Kam and O’Shea fared in the final standings, and Stellato’s inspiring return to the Olympic stage after her training setback. It’s all the results, reactions, and emotion from the pairs competition — plus what these performances mean for the sport going forward.
