2022 Skate America Pairs Short Program

Deanna's dress was amazing; her brief was cut nicely sans Atomic Wedgie issues and had the right amount of details in the cutwork and stoning.

That’s…a really high score.

It isn’t ice time. It is world quality competition experience. I’m sure most of these teams can already hit in practice.

They are not skating at that level though? fewer pair events could have created something more competitive for quality.

I fail to understand why the Knierims insist on using rock and roll music. They are so much better than this.

oh wow, Alexa and Brandon came to play tonight. That throw flip!!

I have never watched Stranger Things. I assume this odd version of Separate Ways and odd costumes (to me) are related to that?

They were distracting from a powerful skate. But good for Alexa and Brandon.

That throw was amazing

I really appreciate that K/F are trying to push themselves choreographically. It's not quite there yet but I like that they're leaning into her fierceness and their power and ice coverage as a team.

 

[Silver Ice]

I LOVE this program. Really great. Alexa started off kinda stiff, but woah after that shaky first landing was just solid.

Are you against watching the replays on ISU YouTube channel?

I don't have a VPN. This is an old tablet -- would have to upgrade. Also need working computer to install VPN on a Kindle. Sorry for sharing my troubles. Enjoy all!

Will replays be available in any country? Or, I have to install VPN on my new phone when I get it?

 

[Lynse]

Deanna and Maxime may be a bit ahead of them.

 

[Hyena]

I love the look of confidence on a team

I think the step sequence in this program still needs some work, but the throw and lift were so solid.

 

[Ziotic]

I get that it’s SA and they are reigning WC, but SD/D we’re better IMHO

 

[CellarDweller]

I fail to understand why the Knierims insist on using rock and roll music. They are so much better than this.

Perhaps they choose to skate to music they enjoy, and can relate to more? I'm sure that would be better than skating to music they hate hearing.

I preferred S-D/D, but I'm guessing Knierim/Fraser get the World Champ PCS bonus.

Has to be in a non geoblocked country.

That throw was stunning!

 

[Silver Ice]

I'm looking forward to seeing the development of both of these last two programs throughout the season.
