2023 World Figure Skating Championships Pairs Short Program

[Dawn825]

That's really tough

 

[4everchan]

The judges will put KF in second despite the fall... I am not sure I agree with this. The throw and lift were stellar. The twist was fine... but the step sequence was very flat. I don' t know... I'd put them in 4th.

 

[Lamente Ariane]

They may still be in second, but they'll be significantly behind Riku and Ryuichi for sure. Conti/Macii and Deanna/Max now in the race for silver?

 

[purplecat]

Alexa and Brandon Great throw though!

That fall on the toe is going to hurt

Big Time Hurt. They might stay in second, but probably too far behind M/K to catch up in the FS...unless M/K have a meltdown and that's unlikely. K/F may end up fighting to stay on the podium, the way the Canadians and Italians are skating.

 

[yesterday]

yeah close around 2+3

French CBC is like "no comments" on the judging here... i guess he agrees with me LOL

Argh......issues with my wifi on the laptop, stupid thing cut out on me.

 

[yesterday]

So everybody, taking a nap until Ladies, see you

 

[Jumping_Bean]

I'm very interested in seeing these protocols, because some things here just don't seem quite right

 

[Seven Sisters]

They may still be in second, but they'll be significantly behind Riku and Ryuichi for sure. Conti/Macii and Deanna/Max now in the race for silver?

Very very close and interesting fight for silver and bronze, I agree!

 

[Ichatdelune]

And with that my break has come to an end, I'll try to sneak watch before I'm freed for the day (oh lord please let work end before my love Chayeon). See you later (I hope)!

 

[TontoK]

All three American and all three Canadian teams in the Top 10.

I would not have bet on that beforehand, but well done to all of them.

 

[TT_Fin]

Thank you pairs making my early wake up worth it. See you at women soon, must work for a while before.

 

[ramurphy2005]

Argh......issues with my wifi on the laptop, stupid thing cut out on me.

Of course, now it's fixed itself.

 

[midori green]

Time for sleep (it's almost 2am). I'll watch the women's short when I wake up. Enjoy watching, all who can!!

 

[Flying Feijoa]

Alexa and Brandon Great throw though!

Probably the biggest throw in the field without Russian representatives. Hocke/Kunkel and a few others maybe vying for second in the throw size department

 

[4everchan]

I am going to call it a night too... i mean it's just "tuesday" here and i need to survive 3 more days of hard work... so I think I will pace myself.

If i cannot sleep for whatever reason, I may come back a bit for the women. Enjoy for those in a decent time zone to watch this.

Yay! I couldn’t ask for more! The Japanese skaters were terrific! 80+ SP was fantastic. Of course I knew they’d deliver due to their outstanding coaches Bruno and Meghan! Meghan must be happy at home!

The Americans can still win the free skate and closen the gap. They are my pick for silver still. That 3F throw is the best throw jump of the competition.

To me, it is the fight for the bronze medal that intrigues me, between the Italians, Canadians and Americans. Rooting for the Canadians of course. But, I’m starting to really like the Italians more and more.

Also, Lia and Trentt did the best they could. 6th place is fantastic for them. Also, happy to see Brooke and Benjamin in the third last group. I need Canada to hold on to their three spots. Go Canada
