2018 Worlds Pairs Short Program

[Alchamei]

THEY ARE LEADING FOLKS!!!!!!!

(I know you're going nuts but they were great. I don't care)

 

[SpiffySpiders]

Della Monica/Guarise - Everyone else hates on this music and I love it and I ain't even Catholic. It's so heavy and old and reminds me of antique shops. *bad taste, I have it in spades*

I was concerned for them after she fell on the throw in warmup but they skated that about as well as I've seen them do. A solid performance at home has to be a thrill for them. Into first!

 

[franzkatka]

Welp, looks like I predicted the wrong Italian team for the podium

 

[Lota]

Ok, don't hate me, but I kinda love that Magnificat

SO happy for them, their improvement throughout the last two or so years has been absolutely incredible :gclap:

 

[Anni234]

I’m ready for bed and it’s only 5 o’clock in the evening here.

Legit my thought almost every day haha

 

[LadyB]

That was...magnificent!!!!!

Oh yeah, Matteo. Walk into the camera with them shiny, skinny pants :agree:

Did Zhang request the pairs switch then? I thought it was just the Chinese Fed.

Aww my stream froze.

Please, as long as it meant he got to compete, it didn't matter what partnership he broke up, even(especially) if it meant a promising young pair. Let's not pretend a 30+ year old man who has an olympic medal and multiple world medals didn't have a say in this.
Apparently(and this is an unconfirmed rumor), he wanted Sui and Zhao was like "no way". Thank goodness Sui/Han had already won a world medal at that point, I guess?

 

[VenusHalley]

wooot! Mangniiiiiiiiiiiifiiiiiiiiiiiiiicaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

 

[gravy]

The US might also be down one spot for Worlds next year.

 

[WeakAnkles]

Matteo, please bring at least some of that abundant personality you show off the ice into your performances. You've come so far, but it would add that extra oomph.

Really these two have come SO FAR. Let's be honest...they used to be a fridge break. But fridge break no more! Good for them!

 

[Jedi]

Yep, I think there should be a ban from saying Sochi was rigged or unfair because the results here so far are amazingly Italian friendly. Matteo might be top ten here. C/L will be silver or at worse bronze.

 

[cathlen]

well, I prefer P/J SP, but D-M/G did great, so don't mind. The difference is not that big. Tomorrow some teams my jump like 5 places easily.

 

[TerpsichoreFS]

Just cheer for her and delusionally pretend that a 2x WJC winning pair that was getting good results up to their split never broke up...

T-T T-T T-T

And some people wonder why he is disliked. He complained about his current girl and picked the one that had success while completely disregarding everyone else's feelings, and the Chinese Fed granted his every wish, resulting in a pair that is so much less than what could have been. And now that he's gone to these Olympics he still wants to continue with Xiaoyu.

 

[Matilda]

Deanna and Nate are going to miss the free by 1 spot

This breaks my heart

 

[andromache]

DM/G bore me and I'm 100% on team Val/Ondrej. But Guarise is a mega hottie, so I can't really be too bummed...

 

[nolangoh]

Im also happy that I don't have to listen to "Magnificaaaaaaaaat" anymore. phew

 

[Ares]

It was Magnificat after all

Many people hated this music but I enjoyed this myself and it definitely served them well throughout this season.

 

[Alchamei]

Italy is actually in contention for three spots which is funny since they probably won't need them

 

[Colonel Green]

Welp, looks like I predicted the wrong Italian team for the podium

Same.

 

[kevinVchicago]

That was...magnificent!!!!!

Oh yeah, Matteo. Walk into the camera with them shiny, skinny pants :agree:

I approve that cinematography
