2021 Skate America: Pairs Free Skate

[coldblueeyes]

Maybe it's just the angle, but they look like they're skating incredibly fast? Shame about the fall, but still a strong skate!

They do. Much faster than a lot of teams supposedly better than them.

Theyre so endearing

Awww group hug!!

They're sunshine and rainbows!

I admit I am not that into pairs relative to other disciplines but I am really enjoying this competition and I love the Japanese team.

R&R, is now the 1st candidate for best reaction award in this competition

 

[coldblueeyes]

Boiikova still getting the hang of that combo.

They do. Much faster than a lot of teams supposedly better than them.

The best SS here with the exception of T/M. Now to a team who I like very much, but have rather weak SS for their position.

Japanese pairs, Georgian dancers, and Estonian men winning medals this season warms my heart. Our sport should strive to be cosmopolitan. And I just mixed myself a cosmopolitan.

It is implied,dear. And let's be clear: The Knierims are the stars,but Mr. Frazier is important to the team's success as well.

No, when you deliberately erase the name of one-half of the partnership and substitute someone else's name in his place, his importance is not only not implied; it is denied. It's lovely that Chris Knierim is so supportive of his wife's new partnership, but he is not the star of it. Without Brandon Frazier, there is no team.

Dima gives epic face.

That's interesting they put the triple twist so late in the program, but it is one of their best elements.

Are they going to give up silver? What a rough fall

 

[el henry]

I love the Japanese pairs team, their reactions, their joy, even if that fall was scary.

Send more Japanese pairs to the Marcottes!

 

[s_parks]

Oof, not their day...

 

[Dawn825]

At least Boikova looks beautiful...

 

[anonymoose_au]

That is some high praise. Now If they’d just do some pull Arabians.

What is a pull Arabian?

Yay Sasha B lands the second throw! We need more Olé though!

 

[Brenda_Bottems]

This is the most white-washed atonal version of Malaguena I have ever heard.

 

[Amei]

This makes me fear for the men coming on shortly....

 

[chasingneverland]

M/K are pure sunshine and magic!

 

[Ichatdelune]

(throwing up sounds)

 

[coldblueeyes]

Think they’ll still be silver, but that was not a skate to rival their direct opponents.
