Israeli figure skater Mariia Seniuk finishes in 24th place at the 2026 Winter Olympics, following a fall during her program in the women’s free skate that landed her with only 94 points.
Skating to the theme music from the TV show “Stranger Things,” Seniuk fell while trying to land the triple loop, resulting in a deduction.
On Tuesday, Seniuk completed the short program in 22nd place, after a clean performance where she hit every one of her planned elements. That performance garnered her and 23 other qualifying skaters a spot in tonight’s free skate.
Seniuk receives a combined score of 152.61 points after both skates, leaving her at the bottom of today’s table.
The 20-year-old skater, making her Olympic debut, said Tuesday that she had “felt the support” from the crowd: “I’m very, very grateful to everyone, and especially to the people who were holding the [Israeli] flag.”
Israel only has one event left to contest at the 2026 Games — the four-man bobsleigh, taking place on Saturday and Sunday.
