2017 GP Skate Canada Pairs SP

[SarahSynchro]

I doubt it. I am thrilled to see them skate well here and certainly wish them a long and healthy and successful career, but sadly I think they proved that they are not to be counted on as clutch skaters when the pressure is really one. We can't use them and them alone in the team event... we just can't. Id be ok with giving them another shot at worlds... but not the Olympics.

Agreed. Even if they win nationals by a huge margin, there's no way the USFSA will send them to South Korea.

That was so nice! Well done D/F!

 

[kevinVchicago]

Does it have anything to do with another particular short program they skated within the last 8 months? [emoji317]

I don't even remember what they skated to before to be honest! Made no impression on me lol

To be honest, I feel the same too... but that's not to say that if they skate absolutely clean every single time from now until and including Nationals and beating some famed pairs (such as P/J) along the way... then they could be in serious contention.

Yea, 63 with that skate... definitely S-K/K for the Olympics.

 

[andromache]

Holy cow was that Rockne Brubaker with them? I know he is their coach, but that man didn't look like him really to me??

 

[kevinVchicago]

Zabiiako got highlights!
They skate to Laurine's music?

 

[4everchan]

Wow! Great skate by Maxime and Sydney! I'd never even heard of them, but they were quite impressive in (what I assume is) their international debut. They're really well-matched as a pair.

they were at nationals last year... improved a lot

russians : he looks like a nurse..a good looking one too

 

[s_parks]

Who thought this ultra snoozy music would be okay for Z/E?

 

[Chemistry66]

Is Natalia wearing a unicorn frappuccino?

 

[ancientpeas]

I really liked Natalia's FS dress from last year.

I can't give that damn vodka monster away... sheesh.

Well, I think that's the aesthetic they're going for... and it works. But yea, definitely snoozy.

 

[kevinVchicago]

Z/E look good. Maybe they can give the Music Was My First Love Cherry Pop Kids a run for their money this season

 

[ancientpeas]

Speak softly love is actually a nice song. Nana M sings a great version of it. *sorry..mom was a big Nana fan*

 

[notonmylife15]

Agreed. Even if they win nationals by a huge margin, there's no way the USFSA will send them to South Korea.

And as much as I love D/F, there's no way the USFSA should take that chance. Frankly, I agree with the call to name S-K/K now and be done with it.

 

[ruffledgrouse]

Beautiful but boring. They deserve a better program

Yes! What does she look like? I think sherbert.

 

[GGFan]

I like that Z/E kept it simple.

Did you see there's a Frankenstein frappuchino now?

The level at this event is very high. Since when is the pairs field this deep :scratch3:

 

[gold12345]

Underrotated 3S and a little 2 foot on the throw, but it was nice to see Denney/Frazier stay on their feet after so many rough skates. They seem to handle pressure on the GP better than when they're at the bigger events.

Tough mistake for Peng/Jin with the downgraded jump plus the landing error.
