2023 Skate Canada Pairs Free Skate

[Seven Sisters]

This is clearly a pairs-loving crowd. They seem much louder now than they did at the earlier events.

Of course, there has just been a dinner break, and from personal experience, I can tell you that they sell alcohol along with the nachos at the concession stands

I usually love this song, but this cover is not it. They managed to put up all three lifts today, which they did not at Finlandia, and the throws were very solid. Good on them for coming back after the rough opening. This team seems to be slowly finding their feet after transitioning out of juniors into seniors.

love this song... but not this version.... this cannot be sung by a woman. it needs to showcase both chest and head voice.

 

[FlossieH]

Some nice elements. I think they might drop below the first Canadian pair, though.

I'm going to go to sleep because I'm too tired to enjoy this like I normally would. Am crossing my fingers the stream won't get a copyright violation like the short programme did.

A rough start to the skate, but they were able to turn it around - Good fight, Brooke and Ben! I am not a fan of the program though. It's very bland music, lacking in variety and highlights. I do really like their costumes though. Brooke looks great especially!

michel is my new crush

Cute, but yours.

M/M. I love their outfits. A couple of mistakes but still a good skate.

Ma/Mi looked off from the start of this program, but did get better as it went. Even the beginning choreography wasn't in synch. I expected this team to develop more quickly than they have so far. They've got great raw material. The throws were gorgeous. And her jumps were on. With a team with such great lines I'm even more bitter that all the women basically have to grab their feet and bend their legs in every lift.

I found it a bit heavy for them. I liked their short, though—that suited them well, and they had a better skate then, too.

thank you... from Michel to Maxime @CellarDweller 's absence confirms he has given up so that's good.

It certainly seems like this crowd is there to cheer on Stellato-Dudek/Deschamps...

I guess I could lend you Matteo during the warm-up

I still don't see what you see in that donkey's hole

the BC crowd is probably really there for the men too.... with two home boys competing

 

[RatedPG]

I just got home…

The battle between the Canadians for the third spot will be interesting

Makes me sad that Nic/Emm won’t be battling it for that third spot

you are right... i am really a Slytherin
