Description

It’s official — I’m going on the record with my 2026 Olympic Ice Dance podium predictions. Gold, silver, bronze — and the chaos in between.

This Strictly Judging episode dives headfirst into the most stacked Olympic Ice Dance field we’ve seen in years, featuring:

🥇 The return of Guillaume Cizeron, now skating with Laurence Fournier Beaudry — France’s surprise power duo redefining the podium race.

🥈 The comeback of the Shib Sibs — USA’s most iconic sibling team is back, and they're not just here to wave.

🥉 Chock/Bates vs. Gilles/Poirier — The two long-reigning North American champs are still in it to win it.

🔮 Plus: Dark horses, shock replacements, declined spots, federation drama, and all the fire leading into Olympic season.

If you want the real Olympic predictions — not the safe ones — this is your episode.
