I've been busy getting organized and such so didn't get to see a full practise until the Canadian pairs.
here's what I saw:
Wed Pairs practise - Group 2 - the Canadians
Marcoux/Buntin : short pgm / sbs 3toes weren’t really pretty but I’d class them as clean (just). Music is very familiar jazzy blues that the name of is on the tip of my tongue. Thr 3sal?(didn’t see the take off) bit pitched forward but clean. It’s a nice program for them and they sell it well. Music is Cherry Pink and Apple Blosssom White
Miller/Moram: thr 3sal with stepout / intentionally skated through the twist / sbs 3t - nicely done if a bit far apart / nice lift - covered lots of ice & fast / sbs spins got very slow and out of end at the end / thr 3loop is very nice / obviously they’re doing their long program / very nice lift with back hand to hand entrance and dropout / there isn’t much in the way of position changes in their lifts, but the speed is excellent and the positions she does are very good - nice extention on them/
Putnam / Wirta: short pgm / Sing, sing, sing / very spinny 3twist that didn’t get much height and not sure if fully rotated / lift has a number of positions but I’m not sure if the speed was very good / sbs 3sals - she doubled then doubled the throw - think it was a loop, again didn’t see the takeoff. (my 1st event of the seasons and my eyes are quite seeing things fast enough yet) spiral seq is nice - facing each other in ½ beil with change of edge & direction in position - positions matched really well.
Random notes after run-throughs
Mar/Bun just did sbs 2axels that were perfectly matched - really nice, Put/Wir nice throw 3 sal / put/wir tried some more sbs jumps but all the ones I saw either or both of them doubled / just saw one where both did 3sals but she 2footed / Craig just fell during sbs ftwrk and then faked doing a backflip - it was cute / they’re giving it another try - this time clean - it’s nice sequence - I like the variation in it / 1 minute left in the practise and Put/Wir just landed a nice sbs 3s2t sequence and then sbs 2a /
By the way, all 3 teams are in black and for the most part seemed to all be having a pretty good practise
