2021 Skate America: Pairs Free Skate

[skylark]

Belatedly chiming in on the total adorable-ness of Chelsea and Danny I could see a few ways they've advanced and developed their free skate since July. Even one of the lifts looked spruced up. I absolutely love all their lifts.

Great skate and terrific recovery by Alexa and Brandon! So nice to see them happy. I feel the same about Chelsea and Danny. So happy to be skating.

I want to pull back Boikova's shoulders a bit, they look a bit rounded. I do love her very expressive face.

 

[coldblueeyes]

No. Just no.

 

[SnowWhite]

Maybe it was just the camera angle, but C/J did that first sbs really far apart.

 

[moonvine]

Jessica nooo

 

[figureskatingandrainbows]

Ooh, rough start on the SBS

 

[labgoat]

Riku & Ryuchi continue to charm me.

It took me a very long time to mourn Alexa and Chris’ partnership, but I’m over it now and can enjoy Alexa and Brandon.

Indeed it helps that Chris and Alexa both look so happy these days So a good choice was made.

Sniff...poor Jessica, the jumps didn't work today!

Who wants to MUTE forever? I do.

I found them both hunched. He bothers me more, there is just a very unrefined quality to his skating. However, they have many good qualities. I also love her expressive face.

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

I said something like that out loud after the program. Something about if Alexa and Brandon were Russian or Chinese that would be world-medal contending.

Why the +REP? Earlier I saw a +COMBO for the missed combo due to a fall.

 

[Lutzedge]

Alexa and Brandon are so good at lifts!

Reminds me of Shen/Zhao's olympic season short- also who wants to live forever with purple costumes....

As soon as the vocals started, my cat hissed so loudly I almost spilled cabernet all over the place.

 

[momrk]

Poor Jessica- but keep fighting

 

[labgoat]

Who wants to MUTE forever? I do.

Such a depressing song to skate to. I feel like it should only be skated as a swan song.

 

[Ichatdelune]

Okay I'll just pretend the SBS jumps didn't happen C/J had a good skate

 

[readernick]

Alexa and Brandon are so good at lifts!

I actually find C/J lifts to be better. But, Alexa and Brandon's are nice, too. Alex/Brandon have much better throws.

 

[Hyena]

Ugh, the frustration when it's literally ONLY the SBS jumps holding a team back.
