2025 JGP Ankara Pairs Free Skate

[labgoat]

The program is really nice. I know they can do these elements, it will just take practice and enough time at practice to conquer these moves. If they could conquer one of these moves they would score 100 points and that might be a nice goal.

I've been waiting for things to come together for these two, and unfortunately, I'll have to keep waiting. They have these elements in isolation, but as soon as they are in a program, things just start to fall apart ever so often. I hope they'll be able to show this program better next time around, because they deserve (and really need) it.

beautiful suits and they match each other

 

[labgoat]

Neamh & Daniel have pantsuits like Ash & Tim and a similar styling. Kinda a miss on the ending pair spin I think. Can they reach 100 points?

 

[TallyT]

I love these costumes. He seemed to get a little lost for a minute there, but they do seem to fit each other well.

It's second season waiting already.

Davison/Borisov - Overall felt better than last week. I really like their outfits. I think well done. I think they are at another competition soon so they are getting lots of experience this season.

A strong team, that is pleasant to watch. Gorgeous lifts. When they clean up some of these elements and add a little bit of difficulty, they'll score much, much higher. Visually (not in terms of strength, but lines and look on the ice), they remind me of Cain/LeDuc

 

[labgoat]

That is a PB for them

Yes, IIRC, they're at the John Nicks pairs competition next week, competing as seniors.

I have musical ADD
This is a very messy skate for these two - going for all reds
They both seem to be capable skaters - but nothing was working today

 

[EdgeCall]

Great. Just arrived and I see red-red-red, and I don't mean Megan's dress.

 

[crystalspin]

Yudin/Lopez had little stumbles here and there but they were going for harder throws and triple jumps which im sure they are landing in practice. The music was...hard to listen to. I hope they get more ice time to get those lifts under control. They look like a good team together, just need it to all come together.

They're promising and ambitious, but that was just messy. Red wordle, to match her red dress. Once they clean this up, it will be a huge score, but not today. This will hopefully look much different in a few months at Nationals and Jr Worlds.

@elektra blue loves Coldplay programs, it is known

 

[labgoat]

I like this baby Canadian pair. They take their time going into their elements which are done well to instrumental Coldplay. Got a bit tired as the program went on and some red appeared on the board at the end. Nice and neat.

 

[crystalspin]

Dion/Cote - Great start to their program with the twist and jump combo. I think this is a brand new team and they already seem comfortable on the ice with each other. Really well done for them! Canadian baby pairs teams are a delight.

Wonderful skate for Brianna and Jacob. Yes, a mixed wordle, but this was certainly a good skate for them at their stage of development. Another valid death spiral, that's a good sign too. Love them, hope they'll get a second JGP (there's still space in Gdansk, no?).
