2022 Skate America Pairs Short Program

[Dawn825]

Such a shame, the twist was so good

 

[mrrice]

I need to vent!!! I am watching on regular USA TV. I forgot how irritating Johnny and Tara are. Contstantly yacking through the performance. All you want to do is yell "Shut UP!!" End rant!

This is an absolute fact!!! They ruin the mood of a program by constantly talking.

Quality is the best except for the misses.

 

[invisiblespiral]

I think P/F have the highest skating quality of everyone so far, despite the falls.

 

[Carol1]

Good twist, and they really do channel the urban grittiness of the West Side . . . of Canton, Michigan, where they train.

This is an absolute fact!!! They ruin the mood of a program by constantly talking.

Well none of us have to watch/listen. We have options.

 

[TontoK]

OK, so obviously some technical problems. But I gotta say, there's a lot to like about this young American pair.

And I love this piece from West Side Story.

 

[Ravyn Rant]

Shame about the falls for P/F. I'm seeing some nice qualities to their skating, and I really liked the exit from the death spiral.

 

[CellarDweller]

I apologize for going into "dirty old man" mode, but Maximilliano Fernandez is quite the looker.

 

[Lamente Ariane]

My first thought was, unironically, "thank god, West Side Story." And they picked ONE song and didn't cut it to death!! WOW that twist was gorgeous. Guys, I think I love this team. They're falling, but they've already grown so much from last season, I really hope they get that Worlds ticket this year. That death spiral exit was a thing of beauty.

Don't you DARE drop her though oh my god, I've suffered enough heart attacks from pairs this year and last.

Japanese commentators do it too, you'd never think about that. At least it's different when you can't really understand.

 

[moonvine]

Ouch.

I've learned that yon is four and san is three from Japanese commentary, I think...

 

[labgoat]

I've never done commentary before, so sorry if I am botching it a bit.

 

[auser]

Too bad for P/H after they started well. Thought there was something likeable about them despite the mistakes. Looking forward to seeing them grow.

I've learned that yon is four and san is three from Japanese commentary, I think...

I hope you won't be learning five anytime soon

 

[Lynse]

Here is hoping the next 4 have a better go at it. The first 4 had rough goes, good moments, but they looked unready.

 

[labgoat]

Loving this resurgence in pairs for Germany.

 

[moonvine]

I apologize for going into "dirty old man" mode, but Maximilliano Fernandez is quite the looker.

If I’m doing my math correctly he is 27. So no dirty old man.

Bitter sweet to see all my skating buds there...on the other hand, peacock has j and t on cold mic!
