I get two singles impression. Also he seems to be almost non existent on the ice. Like he is only there to lift and throw her.

I think that is why he is there.

 

[SpiffySpiders]

Oh, that was much better than last night. I still wonder where she might be today if she'd made a different partnership choice but things seem to be progressing for these two so all's well.

 

[SarahSynchro]

Split triple twist sounds like a delicious dessert.

Great, now I’m craving something that might not even exist.

 

[lavenderblossom]

Yeah now that our Aussies are out I'm worried I won't get any hi-def pairs skating later on

Are the Norwegians and their epic pants at least on Curling?

Nope, it's GB vs USA. I swear curling has been on for the last 24hrs. I'll grab my computer and get a stream up in a bit since it doesn't look like they'll be covering the pairs

My mother has now banned me from watching pairs after 10.

(M-T/M were decent. I still wish I/M were here... )

Live SynchroDad commentary: don’t drop her! She isn’t wearing a helmet!


...oh father, you have no idea...

Yikes! Don't ever let him see Totaminina/Maranin's (sp) Skate America accident! :shocked:

Although our commentator Jim just mentioned Kristin did suffer a concussion earlier from being dropped.

This was a nice program!

 

[s_parks]

He almost threw her up and then sideways on that twist... kinda scary.

Not showing figure skating

 

[Ylyzybyth]

Pretty program! I agree with the little impression on the guy. It's like he's just her skating assistant. I definitely was watching her. I don't really watch pairs though so could just be me.

 

[Chemistry66]

Stream. It's back now. Bless him, the male commentator has pronounced Alexa and Chris's name differently every time and they've all been wrong

That's been fun to listen to in earlier competitions. SMEEKA KIERIM

Moore-Towers / Marinaro (CAN)

A slight crash on the opening 3Twist. Hand-down and double-footed from him on the 2A+1Lo+3S attempt, but lots of base value points on that. Wonderful throw 3Lo with great ride-out. Well-done lasso lift with good rotation. Clean back-outside death spiral. Good combo spin and good triple toes (Marinaro might have had a double-footed landing). Fairly good unison in their sps spins. Good flow out of the throw 3S, but could have more height and ice coverage. Nice positions in the reverse lift, and a lovely star position in the reverse rotational lift.

Well well, that was pretty much as clean of a performance as I've seen from them. Great start to the competition! I think they captured the soft, elegant tone of the music, though the transitions are simpler than the other top teams and not many of the technical elements were well-timed to the music (not that the music had a lot of moments that could be emphasized).

How much the overall quality of the pairs has improved. So many good pairs in the early groups these days.

well compared to 4 years ago the SP scores skyrocketed. The lowest being some 12 points higher! I wonder what the lowest LP score will be :think:


4 years ago it was 86.22 by Della Monica/Guarise

 

[kevinVchicago]

That is quite funny. I mean he is trying. Just watch Kirsten

Less and more genuine would be so much more from him! She was sublime.

 

[gerorin]

Match Arena is still showing another sport (I dunno what this is, sledding?) how long till it starts? The time convergence is doing my head in OTZ

 

[mermaidfestavol3]

Nice tech score!

 

[satine]

Twitch streamer said they will try to fix the stream.

 

[SarahSynchro]

Alexa must be sponsored by Crown Royal. Always in purple.

 

[LittleLotte29]

Now I'm nervous.

 

[Nightcrawler]

I live in the USA and I haven't had to be a fake Russian to watch. Maybe I misunderstand what you mean by "fake".

It's not geoblocked? It works without changing my VPN? Good to know (also because most add-ons reduce internet speed).
