2022 MK John Wilson Trophy Pairs Free Skate

[elektra blue]

CuLi + CuLi?

 

[yesterday]

Seems I jinxed K/F saying the Italians wouldn´t bet them anyway

the gap is big enough

 

[CrazyKittenLady]

Lovely performance despite some small mistakes.

 

[CellarDweller]

not sure about the positive GOE on that throw loop for K/F.. didn't she put her hand down??? it was definitely very forward...

Thank you! I saw that too and thought, how is that box green?

 

[norwegianfairytale]

Yes, and they didn´t implode all though it was a bad start...

 

[EdgeCall]

Triumphant final! But not clean either.
Rinky has his Saturday night party and the men will be in for a ride.

 

[Seven Sisters]

Clunky and not even as good as at Skate America, where I thought Stellato/Deschamps had the better of them. This has been quite the underwhelming pairs event, I must say

Ellie and Danny earned level 4s on everything in their SP and FS. You might want to check out the actual skates. Very high quality elements and skating.

Also, I recall Peng and Jin getting very high scores even while doing 2 salchows. I think it's about other qualities adding up.

Sorry this response is late.

Peng and Jin only had one element that was doubles... anyhow, I will of course look them up.. but I feel that once again, there is a lot of excitement after just one outing at a smaller competition... I tend to warm up to teams when they start having back to back to back consistent outing with strong elements. I will be happy for them and for the sport if they get there. Just giving a calmer perspective to the very bold enthusiasm read on this forum.

with a season's best ? Ok. Generous.

Yes, it was one of those events where the winner didn't skate the best, but rather had the least mistakes.

 

[CellarDweller]

See ya over in the men's thread!

 

[balabam]

OK , time for Yelim See you in men thread!

I thought exactly the same thing so, jinx my friend. How was that +.80 GOE, with a hand down? Are we, grading on the curve, now?

 

[moonvine]

Oh COME ON Alexa. Don’t you start with the whoopsies also

Alexa said “not today!” And came right back.

it is recorded as 0.64 GOE in the protocols now... so some judges lowered it a bit but none of them is below 0.... actually only one judge gave it a 0... I guess they get the benefit of the doubt.. but it's unfair. Some teams get negative GOE for less problems than that.

It’s the WC bump.

well... i don't think it's fair. do you?

Skating isn’t fair, really. Alexa and Brandon are current and reigning world champions and will get the benefit of the doubt. I love skating but I’m a realist. If we want fair sports we need to watch non judged ones, like track or swimming.
