2023 World Figure Skating Championships Pairs Free Skate

[labgoat]

Their lifts are making me nervous today. A bit wobbly, probably due to her not being able to train properly due to her injury. Rest up kids, get well and try again next year.

Georgian lady is being nice to Karina.. still the same face but rubbing her arm in a caring way... that's the highest GOE she gets from me.

I would not be surprised if they split after this season and the Georgian fed teamed him up with Nastya Metelkina - As a team, they don't seem to interact well anymore, and she continues to struggle with her injury.

French CBC guy : he is not happy with Luka, saying that he is not careful enough with Karina... for instance, going too fast in the pivot in the death spiral, which meant she couldn't go down (got B level) and pushing her too much at the exit of the lift... etc... he felt he was not very supportive, and though she had some problems on jumps, other mistakes are pretty much created by him.

yeah Belinda also commenting on his balance in the lift. She tends to be critical but it seems merited here

 

[4everchan]

Any merits to this claim? I feel like French CBC guy is projecting a lot.

Is he? I saw the entrance to the pivot being too fast and she couldn't get down... i saw Luka also pushing her quite strongly at the end of the lift... and i think we all see he is not very supportive... Look, it may be his own projection, but we can also agree that they clearly don't gel on the ice at this point.

I was thinking that might happen as well.

The last competitions I saw them in (when she could barely stand), he seemed so supportive. Today he seemed frustrated and over it.

 

[yesterday]

Yeah maybe the difficult time has drawn them apart.

Yeah I see that happening too, Nastya is healthy now and Georgia needs a pair. Really hope Karina can recover from this.

Cami & Pavel on the other hand interact well and are in sync. I love that we have a team of similar height.

I think that was Knierim/Frazier?

Yes , he seems to have a thin build too but he is quite strong. The lifts don't scary me.

I don't always love their program choices but they have improved a lot.

Program choices are one thing, costume choices on the other hand...

 

[yesterday]

well, we got some pairs music coming up including a familiar tune

 

[PaulE]

because pairs' women are incredible.

I second this thought a thousand times .

 

[labgoat]

I've always liked Belinda's comments on the pair elements because I learn something.

 

[ramurphy2005]

I think that was Knierim/Frazier?

No, it was one of the British pairs.

Go back to half giraffe half leopard half lemon. This is zzzz.

That program by the Georgians inspired me to drink a cocktail of vodka, rum, whiskey, tequila, and a hint of despair.

pretty much a long island iced tea... if you take away the whisky and put some gin... despair comes the next day usually
