2025 Grand Prix de France Pairs Free Skate

[Lamente Ariane]

Why do pairs love this kind of vacuous soft rock so much....

 

[Ichatdelune]

Maybe they are nervous so they chew. We should do this too.

Nah, we gorge on sweets and/or get a glass or four of

I think the Hungarians are making a run for the bronze at Europeans

 

[museksk8r]

I can’t listen to this music and not think of Amber Glenn.

I'd say Conti/Macii have will mostly have the upper hand with their superior PCS but if they make mistakes while P/S don't then sure

Apparently Alexei is recovering from a shoulder injury, but you couldn't really tell, this was a really solid skate from these two. Their elements are very strong, although losing their combo will really hurt their score. I loved their short, this free feels a little more generic. This is warhorse-adjacent music, but they did a solid job performing it, it's not a bad vehicle for them. I do wish they did more with the choreo sequence, maybe it fell flat due to fatigue?

 

[elektra blue]

great skate from the hungarians!

 

[Ichatdelune]

I could not like this song when even my girl Haein skated to it, I still cannot

 

[Sabsi]

That should be enough for the podium!

 

[lariko]

I am relieved to see them in a much better shape than last season. And she has a radiant smile

 

[4everchan]

clean except for the sequence... the issue is that the sequence is worth 10 points and they got about 2-3 points for it only

 

[FlossieH]

Is the camera person deliberately trying to make lifts look as scary as possible??? I don't like it.

 

[4everchan]

Yeah to the point where Chris is chiming in his opinion unnecessarily...

no need for the KnC for that to happen. You have no idea how much better my brain feels since he's out of the picture.

 

[norwegianfairytale]

Oh wow, I didn´t know they had it in them to do such a different piece of music, but they performed really well with some interesting choreography as well. Well done to the Hungarians

 

[fishing]

Ah the camerawork. Please do not focus in on the women’s ‘lower torso’ in the lifts. So disrespectful to the athletes. Do better. Keep both skaters centered.

 

[elektra blue]

Nah, we gorge on sweets and/or get a glass or four of

that's my sister wife agent

 

[cocteautwin]

Chris, where are you?

 

[Karoltyna]

I'm back

 

[Jeanie19]

Maria/Alexei/ nice outfits, her dress is beautiful. Great program. Except for the one jump, great skate.

 

[CellarDweller]

Hey, no commentary from Chris. Has someone muted his mic??
