2021 Skate America: Pairs Free Skate

[anonymoose_au]

To quote a poster yesterday, they were in different time zones.

Although the first part of the jump was good, not sure how that effects GOE.

Awww blowing a kiss to Chris.

very strong skate.. and probably an unpopular opinion : i am not really getting into them

Honestly, I don't either though maybe if they had different programs I'd enjoy them more. Still, it's nice to see a team landing things.

I am in ecstasy right now. This is a master class in pair skating.

I think that was the greatest U.S. pairs performance since Meno and Sand's Turandot.

Also, I hate whatever version of fix you they used in the beginning. blegh.

Chris Knierim is an extremely handsome man. I'll take one of him,please.

VERY nice Alexa and Brandon! Won't make the podium but well done!

Fix You kinda belongs to the Shibs.

Also why a cover

I agree, I was like why are you skating to the Shibs music…pick something and make it YOURS.but they didn’t ask my opinion.

Alexa and Brandon, I am so impressed. Confidence and speed. And I like seeing happy skaters.

I'll be in the minority and say it was meh for me

The execution was commendable but yeah, it wasn't the total package or quite "magical" for me.

Go R/R! You got this!

Oh I thought they autotuned the first part of the music lol, I was waiting for the unfortunate music cut with key change.

Hope they tweak the timings of elements, because they are like half way through the spin when the guitar solo comes in.

I'm not really an ice cream person, but I do like sorbet and gelato. I'm moving to the US soon, and I see that Graeter's has a couple sorbets. Are those good?

I would guess so. If I recall correctly I had their lemonade sorbet awhile back and it was fantastic but other than that I haven't tried any of them. :/

It feels to me like they are not a pair pair yet. Maybe they need more time to gel.

 

[Brenda_Bottems]

If the Knierims were Russian,that would have scored 140 points at minimum. Disgusting.

for T/M and their jumps today.

Come on guys!

Is that a warm up top Jessica has on? I sure hope so!

 

[4everchan]

nice twist in the warm up for jessica and brian

 

[ladykk]

New costumes for Jess and Brian as well?

 

[labgoat]

I think the American teams made great strides in gelling their partnerships today. There is still a lot to work on, but real progress was made today and I think some momentum was gained by both teams.

Skating gods wanted nothing to do with that pinstriped burlap sack.
