2015 NHK Pairs Free Skate

[glorybox6]

F/B really off with the jumps so far, falls on throw 3F and 3S and she botched the second SBS 2A (first was clean). I like their vibe though!

 

[ruffledgrouse]

ouch at that fall

Aiiiii, it's scary watching his feet during that lift.

Fall

more movie dialogue why is this a thing

Suuuuper low death spiral.

 

[Daniel1998]

I quite like this music for them- it seems like a good vehicle. Too bad about the elements today.

 

[Layback11]

They win the award for most spoken voicovers in one program by a long shot. (What was up with that "I love you, Molly"?) Rough skate but I liked the program.

 

[glorybox6]

Aw, they look so disappointed First Grand Prix though, gotta start somewhere!

I couldn't make out the words but thought it was just weird. Why? Why????

I don't mind lyrics, but I loathe music with voiceovers. I haven't heard a single one I like yet. This was terrible, Radionova's FS cuts of Titanic with the voice overs couldn't be more annoying, I've hated all of the Moulin Rouge programs that include voice overs... you get the picture. I wish there was a way to allow lyrics, but ban voice overs.

 

[Tastetherainbow]

There's something about F/B's skating that really pulls me in... what a shame

 

[Daniel1998]

Did Amani injure herself? Or is she just disappointed?

 

[glorybox6]

Aw that's 30 points down from their PB. They'll get it back there.

 

[ruffledgrouse]

Did Amani injure herself? Or is she just disappointed?

Even chance

 

[glorybox6]

Ah, we get back to back R&Js this group (at least from different source material but still)!

 

[andromache]

I'm a sucker for R&J but that went on far too long. But I really liked this team yesterday.

Mixed skate, he popped salchow, she fell on throw flip

FS: 46.52+49.55-1.00 = 95.07, 150.26, 1/2

 

[Daniel1998]

Nice 3S throw. Not a terrible skate from them.

 

[glorybox6]

Ugh, it's too late at night to have much to say about a warhorse like that. The throw 3S was nice!

 

[burntBREAD]

I haven't watched them often, but my impression from yesterday and today is that Jessica is the notably stronger skater of the two -- I know Zach's been injured (two times already!) this year, but he seemed ragged and catching up to her the whole time, and his jumps... I'm sure the torn labrum doesn't help his salchow though.

 

[MIM]

WOw... their lift is impressive!
He stopped rotation while Jessica is changing her pose(all her postures look very nice!)... that is insane!
Shame about the abs sal and throw.
