2025 World Championships Pairs Free Skate

[skylark]

I liked how Artem forecasted the tempo change in the middle; it let me adjust my breathing!

 

[FlossieH]

That's even more unlikely than this pair getting a spot at the Olympic Qualifying competition. Plus, I'm not sure Tom has citizenship and Swiss citizenship probably won't be possible to acquire in a year if he doesn't already have it.

I though Switzerland had a decent ice dance team? - or is that in Juniors?

Zehnder/Sieber placed 12th at Junior Worlds, but didn't qualify for the free at Europeans.

 

[FlossieH]

I feel a bit torn. I really want Ana and Luke to get an Olympic spot. I want the Poles to as well, and Ukraine to qualify in something. It's probably one out the the three.

 

[Weathergal]

I like Sofia and Artem's attack, but they just skated right through that music, I think. That music was kinda awful though. I'd love to see them with better programs. Their costumes are very retro - especially his. I like them.

Ah. So I'm muddling juniors and seniors. Shows that I don't pay as much attention to ice dance!

Ice Dance is a really tough and big field. Zehnder/Sieber are a good team, but not podium contenders at Jr Worlds and unlikely to come even close to the Free Skate cut-off here, with only 20 of the 36 teams being able to qualify.

Their jump combo was very well synchronized

 

[Karoltyna]

Ice break, I'll calm myself by playing Figure skating legends, a game that looks like games I had on my first PC

 

[labgoat]

Wow ahead of Hocke & Kunkel - did not expect that

Did someone on the stream just say that Frank Sinatra drank a bottle of Jack Daniels every day? Or do I need more sleep?

Because of the Short. H/K were more than 1-1.5 points behind, so H/D were able to stay ahead with a lower score in the Free.

No I hear somebody in the warm-up area on a hot mic...probably a volunteer

So did the Poles qualify a spot?

 

[Karoltyna]

So did the Poles qualify a spot?

They need one more team to go behind them.

 

[Jumping_Bean]

So did the Poles qualify a spot?

No, they'll have to climb two more spots at least, possibly more depending on the placements of the second and third teams of countries who will qualify multiple spots.

(Germany, for example, will get two even if H/K don't place in the top 16 as long as H/V place in the top 12, in which case the team finishing in 16th won't get a spot)
