2025 John Nicks Pairs Challenge Senior SP

[Lamente Ariane]

McBEATH / PARKMAN: clean skate! Very strong, hopefully in the range of the top teams here (~65)

I just realized I’ve been posting to pregame chat maybe I should switch to the actual senior event thread after ice resurfacing

 

[Lamente Ariane]

McBeath/Parkman in first! Zamboni on now

we'll follow you wherever- our only link to what's happening and a much appreciated one!

All right, for the next two groups I’ll post updates in the Senior thread (unless my phone accidentally jumps back to this one I guess lol)

Jackie Wong's scoring summary after two groups:

McBeath/Parkman, Chan/Howe, the Armenians. All within a half-point.

Also just one group to go, I don’t know why I thought there were two

Judges and tech panel returning to their seats, Zamboni done

The woman whose channel was shared above is there. She has already uploaded a practice video. So I think we will get some.

She's already posted the junior SPs. So fingers crossed!

Edit: It's like the old Wide World of Sports when they covered figure skating. We'll get to see it delayed. But so grateful, considering the alternative!

Warm up group on the ice almost finished. Everyone looking pretty good so far knock on wood

 

[Lamente Ariane]

SHIN / NAGY: fall on throw the only major error, otherwise a very strong program with a unique opening position. Slight loss of unison in the sbs spins. Music: The Godfather

 

[Lamente Ariane]

STELLATO-DUDEK / DESCHAMPS: very strange unfortunate costly error on the sbs jumps, Deanna didn’t jump at all, looked like a timing issue or issue w the entrance. Other than that they looked strong but I can’t imagine that’s not going to hurt their score a lot—oh okay maybe not???

 

[Lamente Ariane]

I am so confused

 

[DemTuppesSeine]

Huh? 70 points with that error?

I think they just get credit for a 1S and -5 so not THAT bad. Radionova did it twice in a loop one season.

70+ for a program with a completely missed element? Holy prop up, Batman.

Yes, but a good 3T would be like 5 more points so a score of 75, too high? Maybe but not out of the realm of their scores

 

[Lamente Ariane]

EFIMOVA / MITROFANOV: clean, maybe a little forward on the sbs jumps landings.

I am still trying to figure out what I missed wrt the last score. Maxime did land his well! It happened right in front of me, I can’t have imagined it…

still seems a bit generous.....but then again, reputation.....

Protocols are going to be very interesting!
