For me, Mokhova/Mokhov have the best choreography and program construction in this field by a mile.

If I were a judge, I would mark them accordingly and immediately be banned from ever judging again.

I really appreciate that the program started with the steps--it felt like a dance and it was nice to see steps while the skaters were fresh. Definitely potential there. I look forward to seeing them grow.

Stream is working for me, I'm watching Peacock.

5 Maria Mokhova/Ivan Mokhov
I love this program. Nice to start with steps well done. Very speedy but her miss on 3T. Love the details into th3t. Nice big lift 4. Very well done ds3. Out of sync subs sitspins. Overall the best so far. Also gorgeous costumes.

Can you imagine if a pair or solo skater decided to fake everyone out with their costumes.

Like, come out in these costumes, but then skate to Riverdance? LOL

I think you get disqualified for that

I don't know why, but the stomps in the choreography make me happy.

 

[norwegianfairytale]

I´m not sure how did they because I could only hear most of the program, but they look happy.

I think this music can work great, but sometimes it seems a bit overwhelming for them. Might get better time!

They should definitely get extra points for choreo. There was a point of view and lots of non-jump content.

Yes, I liked the choreography on this one, too.

I really enjoyed Maria and Ivan's skate. Love their little unison hops, hand flourishes, and other small things to the music. They're really growing on me, and please EVeryone show up to watch their FS to Die Fledermaus!

They also make me miss Ashley and Timothy SO much. There unison and musical synchronicity were sublime.

2nd?

 

[Ichatdelune]

No time for costumes?

 

[sworddance21]

Kate and Nate look HOT, and just a little bit like they forgot their costumes.

Russian stream is down again

 

[jgg220]

Good for Lady McBeath to narrowly avoid Shakespearean tragedy on the throw landing.

 

[Ichatdelune]

Russians I'm grateful for the stream but keep it working please and thank you

Russian stream is down again

Maybe it doesn´t like Beth Hart...

 

[TontoK]

These Russians better get their pirating act together. I expect much more than this for my non-money.

I'm missing quite a bit here.

Props to Nathan--he has to love skating to keep doing it. Not bad at all for a newish pair. Good for them.
