About this episode
NOC Sarah Hughes famously once said that when the pairs are good, they're great. In this preview, we break down the pairs event at the #WinterOlympics in Milan, answering questions like "Who is Minicki?" and "Why are her elbows bloody?" We go over the names you need to know, what makes this discipline so dangerous, and the moments that will define the podium. Whether you’re new to pairs (like Ashley) or a longtime fan, this preview will help you understand what to watch, where medals can be won or lost, and why pairs skating is unlike anything else in sport.
