2022 JGP Czech Skate Pairs Free Skate

[norwegianfairytale]

Ok, I join for the men later, I think I will miss the first groups. See you later lovely people

I like them a lot!
Sadly Sophia and Daniel have the same issue that the Japanese team has. They are already good and very promising but there's no way they be sticking together competing only nationally for the next 3 seasons.

Yeah I was so disappointed with that... They are really perspective but will they stay together for competing domestically or split... It's a hard question. Good luck to them anyway

Both U.S. pairs as well as the Canadians have such potential- hope they stick around

ahha Daniel! great reaction

Ooh 3Lz and 3S-3T-2A combo what a way to use their single skater strengths to their advantage!

I like this pair while their pair elements need work they are really promising. Its shame that even tho this is their 1st season together its also their last junior eligible season together, because this is Moriguchis last junior season while its Murakami 1st junior eligible season. She wont be Junior eligible till 26-27 season. Its very unlikely they stay together beyond this season.

The age situation is unfortunate, however the more Japanese skaters training or interested in pursuing Pairs the better
When Kushida/Moriguchi didn't work out Haruna was the one who stepped up so... (thankful someone did, I know Sumi is~)
The fact that Japan even has a Junior Pair team competing this season is a win
Usually, JSF would not have assigned an inexperienced team with only basic Pair element ability a JGP
So good on the Fed as well (do it for Ice Dance too, please!)
Going forward, I'm hoping to see HaruSumi develop into two promising Pair teams for Japan

Edit: I know Ikura is only a year older so they would've had a similar issue

love that reaction!

Nice podium and again, just hope all three of these teams stick around for awhile. Last few months have been brutal for Pairs

i don't know about these two, he's 7 years older than her, wich means he's aging out of juniors while she's 13. they're going to split very likely and it's a shame, they're promising

Congratulations to all the medallists and all the pairs!

Cheer on the menfolk for me, I'm off to bed

I didn't realize that increasing the age limit will affect pairs so much that some of them will not be able to compete at all, if i understand that correctly. It's pretty sad.

 

[Sackie]

To me the CAN pair should have been 2nd overall here. Their PCS should have been higher than the 2nd USA Pair.

These are pairs that wouldn't have been able to compete internationally for a full season even if the age-eligibility for seniors remained at 15. It's just that one season of ineligibility has now turned into three seasons of ineligibility.

A promising pair might have waited out the one season, but it's unlikely that somebody is going to wait three years if they have a chance of making it internationally with a different partner.

I wonder if this is somehow going to get fixed? Either by returning the pair/dance senior age eligibility back to 15 while keeping the single skates as 17 or by lowering the pair/dance mens junior age maximum to 19 like the women so such a big gap that leaves pairs in a limbo couldn't even exist to begin with.

I think ISU should try to fix it, especially with the lack of pair teams this season

I thought jr pairs (and dance) men could be 21. Still will have one year with no elligible age division, but that's more endurable than three.

Yes, it is. But these teams have large age gaps, 6 years (but effectively 7 since her birthday is after July 1st) for Baram/Tioumentsev and 7 years for Murakami/Moriguchi. Both guys are aging out of junior after this season, and both girls won't be senior eligible for another 3 seasons with the minimum increasing.

There's something about them that I really like. Only double jumps and an unfortunate fall on the second throw, but very emotionally present in the program, and nice connection between them. They have another year in Juniors (Her birthday is after the first of July), so there's still some time.

They're actually aging out after this season. Chloe turned 19 this July.

You're right, I missed that she was the older one of the two. Honestly, I find it more unfair that men and women have different age-requirements in pairs/ice dance, than the fact that the biggest realistic age-gap is now 4 (or 5 years, if the months are right), instead of 6 (or 7).

I can't remember a team with such a huge gap that was paired relatively young and then became very successful, do any of you have some examples?

HaruSumi now hold the world record for the highest-valued SBS jump element in pairs, both in terms of BV and total element score.

I think I was paying attention to the girls' ages and forgot the guys were that old already. Thinking is hard.
