2025 Trialeti Trophy Pairs Free Skate

As if their situation with their Olympic Committee wasn't enough.
Let's hope it's nothing serious and they get other opportunities soon.

They have to get certain score to go to Olys, right?

Yes (173,89) and IIRC they also have to declare in advance at which competition they intend to get it, or in any case it has to be done in the fall season.

doesn't seem like a good weekend for Danny and Ellie

 

[FlossieH]

Does anyone know why Danilova/Tsiba WD? I'm getting more and more worried about their Olympic spot. Their fed doesn't want to send them and I don't think will let them go without achieving the minimum score the fed has set. It seems cruel when they earnt the spot.

nor Lucrezia & Matteo

Yeah not sending C/H to the Beijing qualifier instead of S/N is really looking worse and worse as the season progresses.

Totally agree- I didn't understand that choice from the start. Nothing against S/N but the result? Really a wasted opportunity

 

[labgoat]

C/H here 193.70, PB 201.11 still room to grow...
lets also give Ellie & Danny some time to fully recoup their PB is similar 201.73

Really happy for Emily and Spencer- they have had such a long road back from his surgery, rooting for them to have a good season.

 

[labgoat]

Yay ! Looks like another good skate for Minerva & Nikita

Valuable lessons for USFS for 2030.

Chan/Howe didn't help themselves with their body of work last season though. But they're coming in strong now and making a more important case for the team event. Maybe they needed that instead of Beijing.

Metelkina/Berulava delivered their free skate great.

BTW it seems Georgia can have pretty strong chance for a good place in the team competition at the Olympics.

 

[labgoat]

Big big numbers posted by M/B for a big win today!

 

[aroundtheworld778]

what a great pairs competition. M/B such stellar tech content. Chan Howe legit challenging for the US title and Olympic spot this year. I hope they can keep this up throughout the season and make it to the GPF.

I have to sleep now and go back to work (again!) - watch here for possible pairs videos
please post links if you find them

It seems that it's a shoulder injury for Danilova/Tsiba.
Let's hope for the best.

Let’s wait until they all compete without home ice advantage.

I actually bought the stream, but it is unwatchable due to audio issues. I’ve requested a refund!

Thanks. I thought it was my internet...very poor production quality. Kiss and Cry is almost dark.

The whole USA Pairs debacle at Chinese Nebelhorn is going to come back to haunt USFSA. It's going to be something when S/N failed to get that third spot, and instead of being odd pair out, they snag the second spot and leave Ellie and Danny at home.

Looking at the selection criteria from USFS, Shin/Nagy would have to skate lights out every competition from here on out to be in consideration. Their performance data for the USFS calculations will have them behind most other eligible teams.
