2018 US Championships Sr. Pairs FS

[Scout]

Who is doing the commentary on IN/qq stream?

I think they just said Brooke Castile

This music from M/M is not helping them. It's like a funeral song... Ahhhhh!

 

[Chemistry66]

I don't like the "leg up in the air" type of death spiral.

That said, Marissa in those lifts. Beautiful.

 

[bixby]

It just didn't sing. Tara said Marissa is very athletic, but can't even land her jump?

 

[machin]

Really that program is a masterpiece. So beautiful and powerfull. Im so sad for them. I wish they could land their SBS because they have EVERYTHING else (fine, OK twist). They could compete for top 3-5 in the world.

 

[SarahSynchro]

Mannnn, where is everyone? Still napping after last night’s riot in the ladies thread?

 

[TCAngel18]

This is so dang frustrating! They NEED to go to a jump coach like Mishin or something in the offseason. That program was INCREDIBLE. EXCEPT the jumps. Even both throws were well completed. That would easily score over 130 Internationally, if they could land side by side jumps!

 

[labgoat]

Looks like 121 for that skate.

 

[labgoat]

Another gorgeous dress for Marissa.

 

[WeirwoodTreeHugger]

It's so disappointing that US pairs can never seem to get their side by side jumps together!

I don't like the "leg up in the air" type of death spiral.

It's the most difficult one! Very few teams do it truly well.

 

[labgoat]

Nice sbs jumps for p/f

 

[gold12345]

Castelli/Tran's twist seemed off at this competition. I believe they were struggling with it a bit in practice. It is great to see that she finally learned a second throw triple though. I'm not sure their throws will get any bigger, but at least they have two now.

 

[apgold]

Shame about the botched lift.

 

[TCAngel18]

Dang, great start, but off ending for Pfund/Santillan. What happened on the 2nd throw? My feed froze.

Btw where is this score counter y’all are referencing?

 

[Princessroja]

Eek. That lift didn't happen, but at least it wasn't a scary "didn't happen" moment. They just seemed to fizzle the farther in they went, unfortunately.

 

[Chemistry66]

Eek that lift was scary. Glad Jessica is okay.

It's the most difficult one! Very few teams do it truly well.

Oh, I know it's difficult. It just looks awkward. Like the wolf turn in gymnastics.

[Button's Niece]

Shame about the botched lift.

Looked like he was trying to keep her somewhat aloft, maybe to save getting at least some credit for the element (???) Currently scored as a 0.00.

 

[gold12345]

A shame about the lift. I think they had a similar issue at Nationals a couple seasons ago.
