2018 Four Continents Pairs FS

She does? Dang, obviously I need to get my eyes checked.

And it is a lovely dress! But why no Olympics? I haven't been keeping up with Canadian pairs, do they only have one spot? Or did Liubov and Dylan have a bad Nationals?

Dylan apparently had a glass door fall on him in December and have a concussion and couldn't train properly for nationals. Heartbroken for them.

What is with the one black wrist band on the male partner?

Sore wrist from lifting perhaps.

I'm curious as to why they weren't sent. Jr Worlds isn't for a while. They probably wanted to spread the wealth since this isn't a particularly important 4CC, but it made them less competitive here by sending 6th and 7th from Nationals.

I thought someone said they didn't have the minimum scores back in a nationals thread, but I could be wrong.

They had some good elements, but also some messy ones. And that was devoid of personality.

Oh man that's awful! Poor Dylan! I'm glad he's recovered and fingers crossed for a great FP here!

Suzaki-Kihara: Technically messy obviously. This team very much needs to work on synchronization. I mean, the SBS opening lutz jumps weren't even close to sychronized in the set-up! The lifts were nice - particularly her extension. Nice moments of expressiveness but they didn't hold it throughout the program. This was a poor music choice for them though, it kept building to a crescendo but they weren't able to build the program. They don't have the speed or the defined bodily motions to bring the dramatic finale the music called for. That said, it was still nice to watch and again I liked their lifts.

Maybe a little too ambitious. But if they solidify what they already have, it's quite decent. First security, then personality!

Wow this is soon to be coming back from a concussion. Especially with 2 competitions in less than 2 weeks.

Well, it only took me 20 minutes to feel hungry from the post a few pages back where I said I wasn’t hungry yet. so I went to the fridge, and there’s literally not a damn thing in this house to eat. Ugh. Can anyone deliver a pizza to the Niagara peninsula of Canada within the next twenty minutes?

 

[beki]

This is their last international competition they are gonna nail this!

Are they really retiring? I'd understand, but I'm not ready to let go

That's quit possible, since they split jr and sr scores.

 

[jillredhand]

Go Luba/Dylan! Nail this program and take the gold!!!

 

[SarahSynchro]

Woohoo! Go Lubov and Dylan!

They weren't given any senior international assignments. The ISU no longer permits the usage of junior event scores to satisfy senior TES requirements.

 

[Sam-Skwantch]

I was afraid they might wear those gloves during the performance.

 

[penniavaswen]

Well at least the hand-down was synchronized.

 

[SarahSynchro]

Stood up on the 3S... keep fighting!

 

[Tastetherainbow]

Aborted lift!

Today seems to be a pairs disaster. No clean skates at all so far.

 

[SarahSynchro]

Oh no.
