2025 Grand Prix de France Pairs Short Program

[bartlebooth]

They came alive in the second half! Not bad!

 

[Isk]

Wow, that was a very nice lift, 10 o'clock, time to do a death spiral and a spin. A pleasant looking couple.

 

[Jumping_Bean]

This was very French. Lots of small execution errors, but nothing hugely problematic. Still going to be a SB, possibly even come close to a PB.

I have a hard time with that last Daft Punk song, not because it's bad but because I associate it with high school phys ed, lol.

harder, better, faster, stronger

Why do I feel like Aurelie FAULA / Theo BELLE may have been influenced musically by ice dancers Lopareva and Brissaud?

Katie has a killer surname

harder, better, faster, stronger

The training hymn of all skaters.

4. Katie MCBEATH & Daniil PARKMAN USA
SP: "Vale" by Christian Reindl, Lucie Paradis and Power-Haus, choreo by Pasquale Camerlengo, Nikolai Morozov

3Tw3
3T
3FTh (holds on)
5ALi4
CCoSp2 (loss of sync on upright and sit positions)
StSq3
BiDsB - Daniil wasn't low enough in his pivot

SP: 63.31 (1st)

A very solid skate from these two, neatly down elements and some really nice choreographic transitions. I do feel like the material is a bit generic, I'd love to see them do something that reflects their personalities. Maybe a Macbeth program? The low levels will hurt their score but they'll still be in the medal hunt.

oh Brandon Frazier!

 

[Lamente Ariane]

YES! Fantastic skate, well done Katie and Daniil!

 

[elektra blue]

sad short story, i feel like s*it, i run out of aspirine

 

[Karoltyna]

Aaaaand just in time for me to go to Katowice and cheer for Kornel

 

[norwegianfairytale]

Well done

Also impressed with the height difference

 

[Jumping_Bean]

Really well done, Katie and Daniil. Apart from the spin being a little out of synch (which is a common issue for most pairs), that was really good.

 

[GGFan]

Very impressed with M/P. They've clearly been training hard.

 

[cathlen]

I'm impressed, that was really nice skate!

Katie/Daniil. I love her dress. Great program. All greens. Great skate.
