About this listen

Tony and Thomas unpack the free dance finale of the Skate to Milano Olympic Qualifier in Beijing. They walk through the judging reviews, the long waits for numbers, and the score inputs that shifted on screen while the panel finalized calls, then explain how four Olympic ice dance spots were allocated in a field separated by tenths.

The leaders get a clear read: Lithuania’s Reed and Ambrulevicius win with crowd energy and big highlights, Australia’s Harris and Chan deliver a cohesive Clair de Lune that holds up on construction, Spain’s new duo skate clean enough to rise into third, and China’s Wang and Liu return with a polished, greatest‑hits style program that closes strong. Sweden’s breakout team miss the last ticket by 0.24, and Tony and Thomas show why, using clips and slow‑motion to break down the key elements that decided it.

Expect rulebook nerdery, clear explanations, and side‑by‑side element analysis that maps performance choices to the numbers.
