2018-19 Junior Grand Prix Final Pairs Free Skate

[WeakAnkles]

They nailed it.

Other than the fact they looked like they were skating in separate rinks at times (lol, trust me, your partner does not have cooties; you can skate closer together), I really enjoyed that. She has wonderful flow out of those throws. Keeping an eye on them.

 

[Colonel Green]

Lovely COSTUMES M/G. Yay for you.

I do kind of wish that one of Anastasia's dresses between the two programs wasn't red.

Now, of course, a book-accurate costume for her character would get them a costume violation deduction, heh.

 

[LadyB]

I really like them. The’ve got a strong presence on the ice. A lot of talent to work with :agree:

 

[Ichatdelune]

I love them, they're my current favorite Russian pairs team along with B/K. Nastya Mishina is a great Margarita and they have the best Master and Margarita costumes for this season, and they're just so good and with great chemistry. Can't wait to see them as seniors :luv17:

 

[s_parks]

Aren't they a very new pairing? Might have something to do with it

They're not very new, they've been together since spring 2017.
I don't mind that they're not all there yet; this is a young team after all. But I'm not really understanding some of the comments about how much more mature they are than the other juniors.

No one's beating that today!

Ah, you’re a man of wealth and taste, I see. Russian lit nerds, unite!

I love how this soundtrack keeps being used and I’ve never even heard of the original work. The rock I live under is very comfy, it seems.

I think it's the soundtrack to a universally panned Madonna-directed film

 

[SnowWhite]

Not a SB, but that's misleading because their best FD score is from a CS event as seniors. This score is their best as juniors by ~4 points in the FS and ~3 points overall.

 

[Metis]

She needs more extension in the lasso lift. I don’t need another “I am late for my flight and am running through the airport with MY LUUUUGGGGAAAAAGE!” lift in my life.

 

[Ichatdelune]

Why won't they get the audio fixed

P/R have huge throws and smooth lifts, and boy I love her dress.

 

[BillNeal]

P/R don't have the difficulty in the SBS but they have superb flow in and out of the pair elements.

 

[Colonel Green]

Were those doubles planned? If so, they squandered a lot of points there.

Was the plot Averbukh made for Med about a deaf woman learning to hear in any way related to the film or did he just freelance? Because their packaging makes me think prince and princess, and IMDB suggests that’s the right guess.... I am confused.

 

[s_parks]

He does the best damn lifts in the business. Insanely smooth and clean.

Well, they did as well as they could with their limited jump difficulty. I need to stop liking teams without triples.

 

[WeakAnkles]

Yes, and the lifts are impressive, but there's just something missing with them for me. Some spark.

 

[SnowWhite]

She doesn't have triples.
