2021 Worlds: Pairs' Free Skate

[LadyB]

Not sure about the music, but I'm shivering along with the vocals.

 

[Koatterce]

oof that was a splat

 

[Seven Sisters]

I am not feeling this dirge the Japanese are skating to

 

[rollerblade]

Does the ISU link not work for you?

If you can tolerate NBCSN commentary ("stream 2" works for me... but the usual blah blah use adblock), it is maybe couple minutes behind though.

 

[Baron Vladimir]

Well, that‘s not great for me because I love both of them...

Oh yeah, me too
But I was rooting for German team to finish tenth just because Germany has another fine pairs team.

 

[snowflake]

Didn't know there was a Japanese pair at this level. Nice decent performance.

Some mistakes, but they have some nice qualities

FS: 60.24+60.80-1.00 = 120.04 (PB), 184.41 (PB), 3/13

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Oh no, down so hard on the throw But for their first worlds together that was great!

 

[Fluture]

AAAARGH THAT FALL

but that was still so beautiful - I think I‘ve found new favorites. I hope they get to the Olympics and continue to improve. If they keep it up - Team Japan might have a better chance at the team event than before.

 

[Ichatdelune]

Lovely dress, not so lovely music, not perfect but a skate that shows a whole lot of development and improvement

 

[s_parks]

Don't care for the music, and too bad on the splat, but geez, they have great scoring potential.

 

[Hyena]

I'm really excited to see Miura/Kihara develop - I think this could be a good pair team for Japan. Good twist, pretty good lifts, and some nice overall qualities.

 

[litenkyckling]

I think they've still had such a great competition - so much to be proud of and some of the most memorable movements in the event

 

[LadyB]

Didn't know there was a Japanese pair at this level. Nice decent performance.

They surprised us all yesterday.

 

[CellarDweller]

Oh, that was a hard fall on that throw.

 

[Koatterce]

I like this team, so much potential and a lot of great qualities

 

[anonymoose_au]

Uh-oh I just stared watching and there's splatting already

But hooray! A Japanese pair! Could they get 2 spots if they remain in the top 10 though? That would be incredible!

i'm geoblocked, HuaHuah is usually reliable, not this time i guess. this link seems to work, there're commercial right now

 

[Ruthypegs]

The Japanese team are my favourites so far - lovely!

 

[Colonel Green]

I kind of hope these two earn Japan a second Olympic pairs spot that they literally can't use because they don't have any other pairs.

These two have really nice elements, though stamina seems like a bit of an issue today.
