2019 World Championships Pairs Short Program

[Harriet]

...just don't do a tango in the same year as the ice dancers have to, kids.

That applies to everyone.

Wow, how nice that CBC Sports is refusing to work for me at... all, especially since Eurovision isn't streaming Worlds this year. Gonna try some solutions but I hope I'm not stuck with one of those livestreams where the commentators run their mouths a thousand miles a second :dev2:

Eurovision isn't streaming Worlds? [emoji44]

 

[SarahSynchro]

Let's start a black jumpsuit counter

Good idea, cuz I already ran out of fingers and toes.

Ohhh, you said black JUMPSUITS, I was counting all the empty black SEATS.

ISU seriously needs to get rid of this new look for the live scoring. It's atrocious.

It's just Japan, the only downside of competitions at Japan (minus Japanese Nats)

 

[kevinVchicago]

That was some CRAAAAAZY knee action on the throw landing.

 

[WeakAnkles]

ISU seriously needs to get rid of this new look for the live scoring. It's atrocious.

Whoa. The graphics for the throw jump are Very 21st Century. Good for the ISU.

 

[Colonel Green]

Yeah, but first flight of pairs ... categorically the least sought after ticket in Japan, especially since Suzaki/Kihira aren't here. Which, does anyone know why? They weren't at 4CC either.

Kihara got a concussion.

 

[satine]

Feel like the Italian team is a little mismatched..

The cherry blossom knc is GORGEOUS, by the way! :luv17:

 

[SarahSynchro]

I was sitting here that whole time waiting for the Moulin Rouge guy to scream ROXXXXXXXXXXXANNE! It never happened. I dunno if I’m disappointed or relieved.

Ryom/Kim (PRK)

Tech: Solid 3Twist, strong sbs 3Ts, fall on throw 3Lo, good speed and rotation on the sbs spins (a bit out of sync near the end), spread eagle entry into reverse rotational lift that's a bit close to the boards on exit, a little scratchy in places through the footwork but good timing, fast death spiral but graded on a basic level on first review

Pres: A bit labored in spots and not that connected with the music apart from the footwork sequence, but good speed and generally good execution of each element.

Score: TES 21.12, PCS 28.65, -1 deduction, Total 58.77

 

[WeakAnkles]

Well that music screams Two Decades Ago!

 

[sunnystars]

ahh the flashbacks to Anna Pogorilaya's FS....(and also the splats that entailed in 2017 Worlds :hopelessness

 

[satine]

Did his legs start to get a little tangled in the death spiral?

 

[Danny T]

Ooh, I can't watch right now but heard there is ice scope for pairs too? Sign me up!

Japan really doing the most for figure skating, whew.

 

[Ziotic]

I think they’ll be nice with a bit more seasoning.

 

[Ichatdelune]

So far no team has gotten a number for their death spirals

Hmm I dunno they are new but I'm surprised how little I'm emotionally invested

 

[sunnystars]

No, they haven’t been back to Canada since before the olympics.

what a pity
they seems to have regressed this time

 

[ruffledgrouse]

Nice stag position in that lift. I think a lighter music selection would fit this team better, Hanna's movements are very delicate.

 

[Colonel Green]

Rough around the edges, but these two have potential.

That music was giving me 2017 Worlds PTSD flashbacks, though.

 

[Harriet]

Good work for a new pair! They had some nice moments in there and I think they can grow into the partnership well over the next couple of seasons.
