2024 CS Lombardia Trophy Pairs Free Skate

[elektra blue]

A very standard Phantom, with nothing to write home about. Boo, Bring back Dracula, which was awesome.

They had my hopes up after yesterday, after managing to bring some full-throttle crazed new life into Moulin Rouge, but my hopes were dashed, as this was same-old, same-old

i think they're trying to play safe to overtake Sara and Niccolò

That loop throw was right on the beat, which was good, but the music cut was not ideal, which was not good

 

[lariko]

Does anyone know if the Japanese team is staying till next Oly?

 

[Sabsi]

Go Team Japan

 

[norwegianfairytale]

Oh my god

 

[lariko]

Gosh, this was scary.

 

[Ichatdelune]

Oh god

 

[Jumping_Bean]

Does anyone know if the Japanese team is staying till next Oly?

Why would they not? Unless their health keeps them from it, that is

 

[Sabsi]

Shocked… that was scary

Hi everyone - I just reopened the feed in google and have less buffering just in time to see R & R take a horrible fall

TOT: 199.55 (1st)

This is a completely unique music choice for them, and I'm so glad to see them venturing out into new program territory. As the program went on, I could see them settling more into the choreography and performance. While I'm not fully enamored with either program, I could see these being really strong once they have more mileage. Aside from the scary lift fall, this was a solid first outing for them.

 

[CrazyKittenLady]

Oh nooo, what an unlucky fall

 

[lariko]

Okay, this looks really serious. Poor guy.

 

[jgg220]

The Japanese team is skating to ambitious music that they can't interpret and difficult, intricate technical moves that make them fall. Odd choices--may be they will pay off later in the season?

 

[FlossieH]

That lift fall was scary and it looks now like he might be injured.

 

[elektra blue]

that fall gave me an heart attack and i got anxiety during their second lifet. what a shame! i like this edgy look on them

 

[Sabsi]

They are such brave fighters!!!

 

[norwegianfairytale]

He looks to be in a lot of pain I hope he didn´t injure himself

 

[Seven Sisters]

Scary fall aside, I did like the decision to have BOTH do the little waltz jumps in the finale. And, finally they have programs where the music is at least inoffensive, a first, and a huge step forward

 

[labgoat]

Okay, this looks really serious. Poor guy.

They have the worst mishaps. I hope they are both okay - I love them so much.
