About the program
Pereira and Michaud set a personal best of 77.06 with their Baianá and Magalenha short at Skate Canada, and led after the first day in Kelowna.
The throw triple flip landed, and the twist, lift, death spiral, footwork and spin all reached level 4 with high GOE. Michaud said they wanted something very different that stayed upbeat. Pereira said they skated it "like a show program." The 2026 World bronze medalists had debuted the short at Nebelhorn, which they won.
Fans on r/FigureSkating called it one of their favorite pairs shorts in years. They loved Pereira's body rolls and the sassy split at the end, and said Michaud's expression had grown. The hot-pink costume and a standing ovation got mentions too.
