2025 JGP Bangkok Pairs Free Skate

[DemTuppesSeine]

12 point lead at least on paper was the twist level 3 for real?

They graded it down to level 1 now

 

[Karoltyna]

Sorry, but I see them staying with SC of Boston and USA.

I'm not surprised at all I can cherrish them no matter who they represent donthaveasplitdonthaveasplit

Really nice job by Yiwen to launch Rui so high with such control that she can handle the landing.

I am happy to share them with you. We can cheer for them together.

BTW I like the camerawork showing how fast some lifts are

The first two elements were just beautiful. Similar mistakes as last time, just swapped the fall around so that will be the area they work on until the JGPF. Well done you two

Great job by Guo/Zhang!! This time tech panel didn't play them dirty. Their sbs jumps are not great but I was very impressed how close they were while jumping 2loops.

 

[EdgeCall]

Huh? Weird fall.

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

yup, they should, but will my guys want it? you know, funding and stuff isn't stellar in Poland

Unfortunately, you're right.

I always look at these things in an idealistic light, thinking how it would give the skaters more opportunities, and give the Fed better results and, hence, more slots. But, I hardly ever think of the financial impact. It would be expensive for the Fed to take on a partnership as good as this, especially if they wanted to remain at ther current base.

So, unless somebody with big pockets comes along to the Polish Fed to sponsor them, it probably won't happen.

Those throws...

Now Jaz & Kieran try to beat that. Another lofty twist, neatly landed. Love her bubble braid. This music kinda fades into the background as they are concentrating so hard on their elements with mixed results. Kinda messy but should be enough to stay ahead of the Americans. I don't think they can catch the Chinese with this skate.

Not perfect, but I can see the improvement. The 2A sequence was so close to being cleanly landed and the 3LoTh was probably the best attempt I've seen them do. No gold for them here, but a secure silver medal

I'm still not sure how they scrapped pennies to send Kornel Witkowski to Obersdorf, I suspect Michael Huth gave them a massive discount because he is friends with Siudeks...

 

[auser]

Bit of a rough skate for Jazmine DESROCHERS / Kieran THRASHER but I am drawn in by their charisma and dynamic presence on ice.
