2019 World Championships Pairs Free Skate

[satine]

The disconnect between their attire is distracting imo hwell:

Boikova/Kovloskii are cute and promising, but this program is suffering from a real Zabiiako/Enbert ballet program level of snooziness. Here's to hoping that they come back next year with, IDK, a bombastic program about Ivan the Terrible?

Gorgeous throw 3 sal! Hope we get the stats on that!

Eee my stream is getting dodgy, maybe I should switch before the final group...but I want to support my Aussie SBS

Yeah, that's why I thought Firebird- he looked princely and she looked like abstract art of a red bird

 

[labgoat]

Has Sasha had a growth spurt? She seems taller. I do love my my Moskvina team.

 

[GGFan]

I'm so excited for B/K's career!! There were so many little Moskvina touches in there. Just the way they held their landing positions on the SBS jumps was gorgeous!! I'm so in love! :hap93:

 

[Colonel Green]

How many successful three-jump combinations have we seen so far? Walsh/Michaud, now Boikova/Kozlovskii, were there others?

 

[Hyena]

I have probably commented on Boikova's incredible extension on her throw landings already but...wow, she has incredible extension on her throw landings!

 

[Baron Vladimir]

Death Spiral is Level 3, so good for B/K

 

[cathlen]

Ok, so this performance lacked in expression a lot for me. But wow, finally somoene who was really on with their elements!

 

[s_parks]

They have great potential and style, plus her landing position is lovely, but they desperately need more speed, especially for this kind of music. But again, they're both still teenagers, very young for pairs. And they've upped their consistency second half of this season, so yay for that! And God bless Moskvina.

I love the baby Russians. Way more than either of the other two Russian pairs. A couple of sticky moments in the lifts, but really well done.

 

[lichi]

WOW. What a skate for them, was NOT expecting that

 

[Ichatdelune]

C'mon Mitya fistpump, Sasha fistpumped, you did so, so well on your first Worlds I'm crying

Sasha was nervous on the opening 3S but oh god Molodets Molodets Sasha and Mitya

 

[frida80]

I love it when the kids skate clean. Their always so happy.

She is approaching Bereznaia-ness with those landings

Man I know Moskvina is short, but every time I see her...she barely reaches the height of the barrier!

I guess that's how she got paired with Mishin, who's pretty short himself

 

[rain]

Yes but that was not one for the scrapbook. The scrap heap perhaps. I think nerves got to him. She may be a wreck but she NEVER shows it.

She was skating for that bronze medal. He looked like a deer in the headlights suffering from vertigo.

For Pairs girls it's not unusual to be short

Oh Good Lord No! I was just thinking, well at least you won't have to worry about these two trying to foist off junior high school mime sword fights as a "program" or Candyman embarrassments. Not as long as Moskvina is there. I can't see her putting up with that silliness.

It will be lovely to watch these two develop. I do think the GOE on the 3 jump combo was a tad generous, but the rest was enthralling.
