2017 GP Skate America Pairs FS

[draqq]

Moore-Towers / Marinaro

Tech: Soft and clean 3Twist. Fall from Moore-Towers on sbs 2A+1Lo+3S. Clean throw 3Lo, could have more distance. Good sbs 3T and good sync in the sbs spins. Solid throw 3S. Lifts, death spirals around the +1 area with a few lifts at around a +2 for me. A fairly clean performance apart from that one fall.

Pres: The soft music choice tends to repeat itself a lot, so there's not much to emphasize apart from setting a gently romantic mood. They have above average speed across the ice and good sync in general. They could have a better connection with each other and more interesting choreography, but it was a very pleasant performance.

It looked like he forgot how to get her back to the ice but that was a nice program

 

[Seren]

have to say that I friggin' love your new avatar, 'Kill Bill' was an amazing program in Akiko's career

Thank you! I love Akiko! She is one of my all time favorites.

[Lota]

That was very pretty but also low-key putting me to sleep Anyway, good performance for them.

“Ladies and gentlemen, let them hear you!”

Uhhhh, wut? Does the announcer lady actually have to give instructions?

 

[Icey]

Why does he smile like that during the death spiral [emoji23]

I loved that program! Go Canadians!

That Marinara Sauce was a little flat. It needs more red pepper flakes to become Arrabiata.

 

[SarahSynchro]

I stand by my comment from yesterday: Nathan is Lloyd Eisler’s secret love child.

 

[college pat]

not a bad score for them.

 

[ruffledgrouse]

What is with this need to use COVERS of U2? Isn't Bono good enough for you?

Shake it off Deanna! You got this!

 

[kevinVchicago]

because he know she will survive death lol

Oooooooooh! I can get behind that interpretation.

 

[nguyhm]

Kirsten's dress is gorgeous

 

[silverfoxes]

Didn't someone else skate to some dodgy U2 cover yesterday? So many bad cover songs in skating...

Yes, I mentioned that yesterday during the short, it must bring out all the emotions for Marina being here as a coach. Wasn’t she the one who ran over to them first to start CPR? :sad21:
