2021 Worlds: Pairs' Free Skate

[GoneWithTheWind]

Ok, I’m in Indonesia again for the victory ceremony

Nice! I've been in Peru for the whole pairs event

Sasha looks pissed at Moskvina, says “congrats with world champions”

Did she really? Why is it Moskvina's fault?

 

[Anni234]

They have to play the "we are the champions" part of M/G music during the victory ceremony right

Come on Galliamov.... man up and answer some questions. Don't let the lady do all the work.

It was in English. He might be much less comfortable in English.

This is very probably an unpopular opinion but I really think they do too much with those masks. They don't wear masks while skating so why do they have to wear them right after and on the podium ?

 

[Anni234]

man the podium steps are HIGH

 

[flanker]

Really? For me, on contrary, M/G have that factor and BK don’t. I really see big future for MG.

I prefer M/G, but B/K surely have all abilities to be among the best pairs. It just seems they sometimes falter at big events. Like at GPF 2019.

THEY'RE NOT PLAYING THE WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS PART?????? What's their problem

Because everyone uses the exact same seats/knc/etc.

If this happens, I will run around my yard stark naked with joy. And I promise not to post pics.

That's OK. We accept videos and gifs. And potentially drone footage.

They have it hard, to choose between our "mortal enemies" China and Russia

I would be way less upset if S/H actually messed it up for themselves, and it would have been fair since they had so little competition time this season, but the fact that they got robbed via PCS is going to bug me for a very long time.

I also wish to God that T/M through some sort of miracle (because it would absolutely be a miracle at this point) manage to come up with two brilliant programmes next year and find the mental and physical strength within themselves not to bomb at the most important events. I will forever be bitter for them if their career ends just as it is. Although I've enjoyed many of their programmes, it feels like they've never managed to quite find their sweet-spot. When they were younger people would always say "soon they'll become champions, maybe next year, maybe next year, maybe next year". Now it feels like this is almost the end It would really be tragic if things just ended like this for them, never really fulfilling their potential

Somehow I like the ceremony with the pair skaters putting the medals over each others' head. It's less stiff and formal and gives it an almost intimate moment.

Most undeserved World pairs gold ever. Sui and Han should have won gold if they were given the right pcs not a measly 1 point ahead of the Russian juniors. The music was super cringy, no choregraphy, no connection. between the skaters. They skate from one element to the other and only realize they are skating with someone else at the last 20 secs. Yes they skated clean, but their pcs should not have been over 70. They have as much artistry as the team who finished last.

 

[Lamente Ariane]

I’m kind of intrigued by the Russian drama here. Are we gonna get Plushenko/Yagudin levels?

 

[flanker]

Tchaikovski is a worthy alternate for the anthem I think.

Did you watch any of the Russian events over the winter? Did you see how lax so many were with masks? That's why. They had to be strict or it wouldn't be fair to those who complied. It's all about protecting other people, after all. A mask is no big deal.

You know we are going to hold you to this, don‘t you?
Liza may want to come to your house and personally supervise.

this is uncalled for
