2023 JGP Budapest Pairs Free Skate

[anonymoose_au]

Eee look at these fabulous outfits!

I like a well-dressed lad

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

Yes

There'll be...um 3 more groups after this? There's 14 pairs here, so that's cool!

And 17 in Germany. In fact, the Pairs has the biggest entry of all the categories at the Nebelhorn Trophy!

It's not often you can say that!

Despite their very good pairs elements, it is hard to see a long-term future for this pair when she is struggling a lot with even double jumps. They need a specialised jump coach, asap.

I wish the mesh part of her dress was little bit less obvious. I like his suit a lot.

Really nice lifts most of their pair elements are really nice, the only thing they really struggle with is jumps and throws. Yixi really struggles with landing things. Has she been injured, I don't remember her struggling this much with jumps last season?

Really nice job by the Chinese pair. Lots of very nice teamwork and connecting steps to the music of the Artist. I need her to point her toe on the death spiral.

 

[bartlebooth]

They got scarily close to the boards on that lift dismount
And again

 

[labgoat]

Cute black and white outfits for Romane and Lucas to Peter Gunn theme and a middle section to Minnie the Moocher. Great music choices. Oy those lifts by the boards are scary.

Ted's struggles with Neamh's name started me thinking of other skaters with Irish names during the resurfacing.

I take it Ted never commentated on Siobhan Heekin-Canedy (UKR) when she was competing.

Aoife Louise Stevenson (GBR) had just moved up to Junior level when the pandemic hit. But, I can't find any results since, so she mightn't be competing any more.

But Saoirse O'Sullivan (IRL) will be reaching Junior level in the next few years. So, he might be coming up against her name in the Junior GP Series soon.

I found a very young skater called Róisín Murphy (GBR). That's cool that she has exactly the same name as a singer whose music we frequently see being skated to.

I was surprised that I couldn't find any skaters called Caoimhe.

But, oh how I wish there was a skater called Sadhbh!

By the way, Sinéad and John Kerr's mother is called Meabh.

Caoimhe

Okay I can say all the other names except this one. I need a quick lesson.

 

[Mariiiiskate]

A good skate for these two They seem consistent which is very good.

[labgoat]

Oh pretty outfits in turquoise for the CZE team

 

[labgoat]

Oh dear those sbs jumps, she went out of frame and fell i believe.

 

[labgoat]

oh another slip off an edge. I am wondering if this is a blade issue or just flukes.

Difficult skate with two very weird falls

 

[Mariiiiskate]

I thought she had that throw 2lo they really drifted apart in that 2A-1A combo for a second it looked like we were watching the mens event lol

Overall not a terrible skate for this very new pair she looks little disappointed, but really she is new to pairs and it takes time to adjust and get consistent in that
