2019 Junior Worlds Pairs Short Program

[LadyB]

I’m looking forward to the Mishima/Galliamov vs Boikova/Koslovski rivalry over the next few years

Me too. It’ll be a sophisticated Petersburg affair and both teams will massively gain from it. :yay:

 

[Colonel Green]

Alright, Miura/Ichihashi, I predicted you would do well — don’t let me down!

 

[leilaraj]

Technically strong but I find them a little bland :/

 

[gold12345]

Fantastic height on the twist and throw for Panifilova and Rylov. Really great pair elements. Maybe they aren't the most mature but they took a well deserved lead.

 

[elektra blue]

1st place!

 

[Dreamer57]

Go, go Riku and Shoya!

 

[SnowWhite]

They don't look that happy either.

 

[flanker]

1st place!

They had SB for short program higher than M/G before so nothing new, but M/G have much stronger free skate.

 

[SnowWhite]

1st place!

They beat M/G in the SP at JGPF too. The tech deficit hurts them in the FS though.

[Colonel Green]

Drat, I was excited after the Axels went so well.

 

[WeakAnkles]

Apparently the Expression du Jour upon hearing you've gotten a SB is to look like your parents just told you you're grounded for the weekend. For every weekend the next month.

I have a soft spot for Pairs SBS 2A, because of how great Ksenia Stolbova did it, but these skaters can't jump it like her...

 

[Dreamer57]

They often do low catches, I was hoping they had worked on those

It's the exact same score as their SB!

I think the fall threw them off a little. Ganbatte for the free!

 

[LadyB]

I like K/I a lot as well. Team Velikov... like M/G and Ksenia and Fedor in their youth!

I find these two more exciting survivors than Zagitova

 

[elektra blue]

:clapper:

I find these two more exciting survivors than Zagitova

they're actually performing to the music

 

[WeakAnkles]

Those costumes scream It's The Early 80s, Time For Your Aerobics Class.

Cue Olivia Newton-John's Physical please...

 

[LaArdilla]

Wow, Polina actually cracked a smile upon hearing the score, for like 0.01 second.
