2018 Rostelecom Cup Pairs Free Skate

[Ziotic]

Aleksandra BOIKOVA / Dmitrii KOZLOVSKII will save Russia. I really love that team.

I’m praying they get the silver at IDF.

Russian pairs and dance has a variety of coaches compared to singles.

... and happy to see Moskvina still coaching

 

[WeakAnkles]

Daisuke's and Rahkamo/Kokko's. Both of them were truly magnificent.

Rahkamo/Kokko. Just a big

Dice K's was the best of the solos. By miles and miles and miles.

 

[cathlen]

Hope Evgenia feels okay.

La Strada is a great movie, but I prefer Nights of Cabiria

 

[DanseMacabre]

Shout out to Trankov's black on black suit with red bow tie. He and Elton John make sure a picture.

 

[gossipcow]

Trankov looked like he was closing his eyes in prayer before Tarasova/Morozov.

I hope they eek out a decent performance, I actually like their FS this year!

 

[WeakAnkles]

Down to one knee may be the most elegant way to fall.

 

[Ziotic]

Again...messy throw with positive GOE??

 

[Colonel Green]

What the heck is that positive GOE on that throw 3F?

 

[LittleLotte29]

Down to one knee may be the most elegant way to fall.

Do you think we should team her up with Keegan Messing?

+1.2 GOE for the Throw Flip...
I mean, I really love this team but that GOE is just way too excessive at this point...

 

[kevinVchicago]

Omg that throw was so huge I literally thought she was going to crack the ice and fall through the floor

 

[Ziotic]

And positive again??? Please explain to me how this doesn’t get reviewed by ISU??

 

[readernick]

Again...messy throw with positive GOE??

It is Russia. They are Russian and considered a top team. GOE is not the same for them. There is a different scale.

 

[gonewiththewind25]

Okay, the judges are just throwing positive GOEs at elements that don’t deserve them...

 

[NoNameFace]

Rahkamo/Kokko. Just a big

Dice K's was the best of the solos. By miles and miles and miles.

Daisuke's LA Strada had this elusive nostalgia vibe mixed with playfulness, going right with the music. And the costume was great. Actually, I dreamed about his this night, he sat 2 meters from me

 

[LittleLotte29]

What the heck is that positive GOE on that throw 3F?

As Carol Lane would have put it, IT IS RUSSIA.

 

[Colonel Green]

And on the throw 3Lo too? C'mon, judges!
