2025 Skate America Pairs Short Program

[GGFan]

I really enjoy the speed and the program despite the mistakes. Praying they can get the jumps together by Nationals.

Chan and Howe were better last week, but they've done a lot of travelling and will have had less practice time.

Off topic: Hey folks, how’s autumn going in the US? It’s my favorite season because I love the weather, but here in Mexico, we don’t really see many trees changing colors like in Maine, for example.

I liked Chan/Howe. They look great together on the ice and the flamenco program was interesting.

Emily & Spencer. Nice outfits that go well with the program. Good skate. They must be so tired from being at Japan less than 5 days ago.

Emily & Spencer music was interesting and was nice their sp in like it , their last spin was expressive and at the rhythm very similar to the music beat .. nice!!

But he didn't have to talk during the program.

He struggled on the JGP event where Mark missed most of the first day, and then came alive for the last event of the day when Mark joined him.

And so the sorry state of US Pairs 3 teams 3 falls.

3. Olivia FLORES & Luke WANG USA
SP: "Run To You" by Whitney Houston

3Tw3 (slightly tight catch)
3S (Olivia falls)
3LoTh
5RLi4 (a little awkward on the turns, not a lot of ice coverage)
CCoSp4
StSq2
BiDs3

SP: 55.83 (3rd)

Olivia and Luke look like a different team compared earlier at John Nicks, they've always been a team very dependent on peaking but this is a big transformation. Their pairs elements look so much more confident and they bring a lovely youthful excitement and vibrance to this event. They still have a lot of work to do, especially on the twist and Luke's footwork in the lifts, but this was a solid GP debut. They had a fall on the lift during practice this morning so I'm guessing that was why it was a little more hesitant here.

They were probably dealing with an injury at John Nicks. They soon after pulled out of a Challenger event to heal and be ready for Skate America.

Ok, so now I can see Terry, Tara and Johnny.

Who told Johnny he looks good with his hair that way??

 

[jgg220]

Johnny Weir's blazer is stunning. I haven't seen such a covetable garment since Lucille 2's wardrobe from Arrested Development.

And so the sorry state of US Pairs 3 teams 3 falls.

This event with the teams in question falling does NOT define the 'state' of U.S. pairs! Good grief!

 

[lariko]

I really love Japanese pair's costumes.

We're here to watch skating, not to hear yapping nonstop. Please.

Is nice their SP, some errors but well I think sooner will do it amazing, that short program is nice by itself because have balanced aesthetic, music and technically is very interesting and what do it attractive

 

[BlissfulSynergy]

I can't stand this schizophrenic, soundbite coverage!!!!

IDK how about US but in my country which Poland November is typically butt-ugly. Hazy, overcast almost all the time, rainy and with short days already, blech. There's a saying in Poland ''piękny jak noc listopadowa'' - ''As beautiful as a November night''.

Why am I seeing commercials on Peacock? I didn’t see commercials when the other GP events were aired on Peacock.
