2016-17 GPF Pairs SP

[SarahSynchro]

ok, I give you the first two, but.... lousy day because it's snowing?? :shocked:

Give me some of that!!!

Oh good, you like snow? I guess I found someone to shovel my driveway. I pay $3 an hour and if you do a decent job I just may let you inside to use the washrooms if needed.

 

[ancientpeas]

See.. people who don't have snow are all excited by snow.

In Ottawa we have snow normally from late November through to April. You get pretty sick of it after awhile. It's pretty and everything at first. But shoveling it and dressing for -25C with a windchill gets old fast.

and no access to palmbays

[ancientpeas]

It looks like a 3Lz<<, 3F+2T and just an A

Sheesh. Poor Gracie. The girl needs..something. If I knew what I'd tell her.

 

[Giselle]

And even if she gets her citizenship on time they won't qualify for the Olympics anyway. It's kind of been a Canadian curse for he past two Olympics: first Kaitlyn Weaver in2010 and then Piper Gilles in 2014.

Of course in 2006 when we had Tanith Belbin leave Canada to become an American citizen and Skate with Ben, that went over without a hitch.

To be fair I believe that Belbin/Agosto also qualified for the 2002 Olympics but didn't get to go because Tanith wasn't a US citizen yet, so they suffered as well don't worry

 

[MeltedIce]

jajajaja, does the offer include a plane ticket?

I guess I love the idea of snow because I never see it live

Has the ice been fixed? If not P Chan wont do well and will blame it on the ice!

Uhm, can someone please tell me why skaters, coaches and federations shouldn't be complaining formally when ice, once again, in France has visible water spraying up as skaters stroke through at speed.

Not to mention wondering why the ISU tolerates it. If poor conditions present real hazards for those with the biggest jumps, and deepest edges, it means that it is water on ice is lowering the level of the sport, and that will never build the global audience ISU seeks...

NB It's one thing working around bad ice on the occasional day in training, it's another to shift your pattern to avoid water and soft spots when trying to deliver a peak performance.

How do you account for their partners almost always landing beautifully and better than almost all other Pairs in the world? Chinese Pairs throws are legendary.

Because their ladies are godly!

for those who still care about what judges have to say more than what they think judges should say http://www.isuresults.com/results/season1617/gpf1617/gpf1617_Pairs_SP_Scores.pdf

Nothing is worse than 15cm of snow, -20C you get dressed you get out..you get a third of the way down the driveway and realize you have to inside for a pitstop.

 

[SarahSynchro]

If it snows too hard, their brother won't be able to leave.

I didn't even think of that!!! Argggh!!!

 

[QuadThrow]

First I thought D/R's score is ok. But with a look at the protocols I see that they underrotated the throw. (This is the first I have ever seen the techical commitee downgrading a throw)

So they only got 2.40 instead of 4.70. When I look at the other GOE I think they are still to high. All elements except the spin were not as good as the Russian elements.

The German judges gave a 9.75 in presentation. Come on. The Germans would say she had tomatoes on her eyes.

Yes. Although now that I might not be getting rid of my brother tonight, you may have to sleep in the garden shed.

No snow here in Nova Scotia...mowed my lawn last Saturday. It's almost banana harvesting time

 

[4everchan]

so in light of protocols : P/J lost quite a lot of levels... D/R are level 4 everywhere. So blame the tech panel now

And actually the tech panel gave Meagan a carrot...

 

[Giselle]

So P/J got level 3 on the twist, step sequence and spin. And low GOES overall. The RUS and CZE didn't seem to like them and gave them lower PCS than Z/E...

[Osmond4gold]

Btw CBC ...you owe me a beer replacement, given the frustrations of this afternoon. Heal thyself or risk a further fine.

 

[Violet Bliss]

Yes. Although now that I might not be getting rid of my brother tonight, you may have to sleep in the garden shed.

Weren't you the one calling me out on offering to make exchange on par for mrice?

C'mon ancientpeas, there are folks who blow it out of your driveway that aren't too expensive. But since the big snow up to the roofline winter in 2008, it's almost impossible to get anyone to take care of the walkways and steps.

And it least one of our kids is missing the snow by the second week of May....and so it's no wonder they spend our short summer inside skating....
