2024 World Championships Pairs Free Skate

[YuBluByMe]

Okay. Here we go. It’s starting. [I think an official got hurt because the stretcher was brought near the K&C area.]

Omg, it’s them. The Japanese….I’m so sad.

And they did win the long. I was getting quite nervous by the end, thinking they'd won after all, but as you say, they lost too many points in the short program. Or Deanna and Max won too many points, depending on your viewpoint.

Now, for a late supper out here on the west coast.

My husband appeared with dinner, but I a waiting for the medal ceremony. Don't know what the holdup is. Maybe they lost some skaters?

today I felt that Miura and Kihara were the world champions and that the final result was unfair. on the other hand, they were overrated yesterday, just like Stellato-Deschamps today. Hase and Volodin? the only ok, not problem on the podium. and the best of the day? Danilova and Tsiba. they were amazing

Riku walked off very quickly I hope she was ok

 

[lileychristie]

Oh noooooo what happened to RikuRyu??? I hope it's not the injury flaring up

 

[Weetos]

Oh...

 

[cheerknithanson]

Wait....what.....Riku and Ryuchi??? What happened????

 

[Crowdproud]

Score for Nocturnal Animals is wonderful.. anyone see the film? One of the saddest stories ever..

Not just sad, but quite disturbing. I used to have tracks from the score in my playlist until I saw the movie and then I was -- no way! The soundtrack cover image is a dead (murdered) woman, yikes (I used to think that she was just sleeping).

 

[moonvine]

WHAT.

And the Japanese unable to attend ceremony

 

[Sai Bon]

A skater or an audience member?

OMG, it's RikuRyu!

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Now I wonder if Riku looked so sad because she was in pain. I hope she and Ryuichi are all right or will be soon.

 

[Weetos]

I thought that Riku looked a bit like she didn't feel very well in the K&C but who knows. I hope they are ok.

 

[Sai Bon]

Thanks for your company, everyone! Gotta go, praying Riku (I assume it's her) is OK.

 

[moonvine]

I’m so worried…what has to happen for a skater to not be able to attend a ceremony?

 

[cheerknithanson]

Oh, O Canada in French. Nice.

 

[cheerknithanson]

Oh....it's a live choir. So spoiled in a good way.

 

[Ares]

Deanna's crying. That anthem was so beautiful.

Hello from a fellow West Coaster(California style). Enjoy your informative posts.

 

[Weetos]

I am hoping if it was something really serious they would have delayed the ceremony longer... but still it is worrying

It's not just her age or the time off, it's starting over and moving to another country in her mid 30s when the US fed had little use for her. The fact that we couldn't get a pair in the top ten the same night Deanna won is so poetic and awesome.
