2025 NHK Trophy Pairs Free Skate

[LazyFuzai]

Did anyone feels anything during this program? Feels empty

Hungarians ran out of steam...

 

[readernick]

I like their SP more than previous programs. However, the FS is just technically competent. Still they deserve to lead at this point.

 

[4everchan]

We have two teams jumping same combo? Was it Fedor Klimov idea or something....

pretty much all the teams have the +2a+2a sequence nowadays... but only Yuna and Sumi are doing the loop. Other teams do it with the salchow or the toe

N/M are really a terrific up and coming team and I look forward to what their future has in store.
P/S skated beautifully! I cannot say enough about their immense improvements this season. IMO, their FS is better than C/M’s FS and to me they are skating stronger than S/H right now. I would love to see this team win this event! Here’s hoping!

 

[4everchan]

at this rate, Sui Han will score 150.

 

[readernick]

I know how the scoring works

their 2t gave them pretty much 0 points.

a 3loop-2a-2a is just 0.7 more than other teams doing the 3t. so they are at a loss with teams just doing more basic jumps but not popping them

Yes, I'm sure you know how scoring works
But, very very few teams get good GOE on their jump combos and they deservedly get high GOEs on theirs which means it does compensate for their other weakness even that 2T.

I apologize from my entire people for this singer singing this song (at least the song has nothing to do with my people). LOL

pretty much all the TOP teams have are trying to get the +2a+2a sequence nowadays...

Cathy Reed strikes me as the most maternal, nurturing type.

I was fortunate to see her skating with brother Chris at 2009 WC in LA

 

[cathlen]

Ah, it was going so well....

 

[museksk8r]

Fall on the first throw and a labored lift from C/M. They are opening the door.

the problem is that even with a stellar sequence, judges are stingy so they pick up what ? 1 point.. maybe a bit more...

Conti Macii just got almost 1 point for their iffy one. So yeah.. anyway I like the Japanese very much and I look forward to seeing them for many years.

At least, they don't upset me the way Gabriella Izzo and Luc M do

they did 3f-2a today. just one axel... and then 3 lutz... with negative Goe... In the end, they should have just done 3t-2a-2a and 3s and score higher points

 

[4everchan]

hand down if I do it, I get minus 5 for sure . Conti-Macci gets a green box

 

[museksk8r]

And a hand down on the 2nd throw. That should not beat P/S!

 

[skim1001]

Good enough to take the lead?? They will get more PCS compared to the Hungarians

 

[LazyFuzai]

Program is really nice with good accents on music,but still they can show more emotions.Those throws gonna cost a lot.

 

[4everchan]

And a hand down on the 2nd throw. That should not beat P/S!

it will.. I'd be surprised if they didn't win PCS over the Hungarians

 

[museksk8r]

They will get more PCS compared to the Hungarians

They should not though. This program does nothing for me.

I like the Italians programs this year. They have some weaknesses. Particularly, he's not the best lifter but they are doing complex choreo and should be rewarded.
