2018 Worlds Pairs Short Program

[xeyra]

I really love this SP.

If they start having the audience do the Electric Slide then I know I'm in the Wedding From Hell.

One of the greatest sports moments ever: Philadelphia Eagles defense celebrate after an interception by breaking out into the Electric Slide.

Skaters could do well to imitate these. Audience, not so much

OK, back to skating.........

 

[Mista Ekko]

This SP is very effective

Good Jawb!

 

[franzkatka]

Молодцы. This program is perfect for them, even if it is kind of boring.

 

[Jammers]

Say what you want about T/M but they really do have World championship skating skills. They just need to get decent programs and they will be hard to beat.

[Koatterce]

This program style suits them so much better than their FS

 

[andromache]

They are so lifeless (especially him) I just can't. Such a shame for a team with so great tech.

I don't hate the lifelessness in this SP. It has a classical quality that I enjoy - the music brings the feeling and the skaters are just instruments of the music.

ETA: But not like that time these two pretended to be instruments on ice. Yikes.

 

[Grin]

That was some skate from T/M!

 

[NoNameFace]

Their lines and presence is just an epitome of what pairs skating is, such harmony and polish, fantastic technicality and power of deliverance

 

[gravy]

This SP is a real masterclass in classical Russian pairs skating, even in the general coldness/lack of emotion/determination. The synchronicity of those buttery steps into the 3Twist is .

Something something but Candyman.

I don't dislike Candyman, I just dislike it for this team.

Can you imagine Valentina and Ondrej doing that program? :luv17: Marchei would be sexing up the judges and audience during the 'Voulez vous' part.

The SBS announcer was just like "Looks like Vladimir's new go-faster haircut is really working out for him." I thought he was looking smooth today.

Gasp T/M's throw!!

 

[perspicuosity]

Can "That Man" beat this, even clean? I dunno...

 

[QueenOfTheRoad]

The prize for the most obnoxious commentator goes to the German one. I cannot stand him.

 

[andromache]

I don't dislike Candyman, I just dislike it for this team.

Now I want it.

 

[Lota]

I'm slightly teary-eyed, I felt so sorry for them at the Olympics and you could tell that they really wanted, really needed a good performance tonight. You were great guys! :sad21:

 

[WeakAnkles]

Let's be honest. I'll believe the phrase that fits best here is T/M wiped the floor with their competition.

At least so far.

It just makes Candyman look even more like the total and complete utter brainfart that it is.

I want to like this more than once

 

[Alchamei]

Oh yeah, and you're saying how Italians are inflated :sarcasm:

 

[kevinVchicago]

I think that that throw loop was one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen in my life.
