2026 U.S. Nationals Senior Pairs Free Skate

[figureskatingandrainbows]

I am so happy to see Audrey and Balazs start to come into their own after a rough start to their season. They had some bobbles, there was the rough twist to start and a few points lost on throw GOE, and of course that last lift was killer points-wise. They don't have quite the same quality or ease yet as Ellie & Danny and Alisa & Misha, but that's just because they are a newer team coming into their own. They did well to hold up under the pressure of being in second, and even though they will drop behind Ellie & Danny, they have made a strong case for that second Olympic spot as a young, up-and-coming team who is gaining momentum now.

This skate that suffers from a hundred small mistakes. Even the us judges aren't going with them in GOE and internationally they will get hammered. It is probably enough to stay ahead of Chan/Howe. But, Ashley is really not understanding how many mistakes were made here.

It may be very close...

So glad Audrey switched from singles to pairs. Hand down on both throws but still -- awesome, energetic skate.Awww they're disappointed.

I know it gets said a lot, but one really can’t say it enough: Danny O’Shea is really an excellent pairs skater; he’s so supportive and trustworthy.

It seems as if Danny has been around forever and has been a great partner to all ,he so deserves to go to the Olympics.

I know but that not reason to inflate the team scores that are eligible when make obvious errors that affect base value and grades of execution and falls and hand down

I thought he went with Tara Kanye

 

[labgoat]

I thought so. I am not surprised.

Wow Chan and Howe are ahead. I actually agree that there were so many mistakes in that skate and the levels called were correct but I am bit shocked that the US panel actually called the levels correctly.

 

[YuBluByMe]

Eh, I would’ve put Shin/Nagy in third.

The judges saw it even if Ashley didn't.

 

[museksk8r]

That’s not a controversial result though. A clean C/H would beat a clean S/N internationally.

 

[SmileHappy34]

Wow C/H are ahead of S/N.

Yes. Shouldn't be but are

 

[figureskatingandrainbows]

oof, behind Chan/Howe overall... that last lift really cost them, I hope they are kind to themselves because that is such a hard position to be in as a team. They looked devastated in the kiss & cry, which is really not what I wanted to see . I don't envy the selection committee having to decide which team to send, because there is just a point between Shin/Nagy and Chan/Howe and they had a comparable fall season..

 

[SmileHappy34]

I thought parkman and Macbeth were Australian

Wow, E/M! Misha is nearly pierced in the face with Alisa’s blade.
