2020 Rostelecom Cup: Pairs' FS

[sunnystars]

I also forgot that they also have a Queen program

Bohemian Rhapsody, how original, nobody usually skates to it

Nearly nobody on this level I would say

 

[LittleLotte29]

OK, 153 is a lot to get.

I still don't think anyone should skate to We are the Champions.

I think this is literally writing on the wall lol

 

[LittleLotte29]

Gosh, this is a horrible program. What happened to Moskvina? Her teams used to have the best choreos in the field.
Nastya is a gem though.

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Oh no, the terrible jokes write themselves. “Now I’ve gone and thrown it all away” right after a mistake? They are not the champions, etc

 

[EdgeCall]

I still don't think anyone should skate to We are the Champions.

Particularly not to a small piano/string arrangement. It clearly lacks the necessary power.

Level 2 death spiral?

 

[Edwin]

And this one was almost as good, but even more spectacular

 

[sunnystars]

oof I think the SBS might be the dealbreaker here
and they lost some steam in the last half of the program

But I am always here for Galliamov's death drop-esque slides

 

[LittleLotte29]

This program has so many weird choreo elements that don't make sense at all.

 

[Totentanz]

Wow! How good these two were!

 

[elektra blue]

they fought hard for many elements and were great, but Boikova Koslovskii were better. and my predictions went to hell

 

[Lamente Ariane]

My predictions are really taking a hit.

 

[flanker]

Pity about the combo, otherwise it would be very close. Still fantastic skate by Nastya/Sasha.

 

[Edwin]

and finally the audience comes to life, creating an atmosphere for the final event of the day: female singles in the free program.

 

[coldblueeyes]

It's hard to skate two clean competitions back to back, and I feel like it might have taken the wind out of their sails. But B/K definitely needed this win a bit more, they had a bad competition a week ago.

 

[elektra blue]

My predictions are really taking a hit.

i Brezined so bad

 

[Ichatdelune]

They were under huge pressure after Sasha and Mitya's magnificent skate and I think it got to them, the execution was sloppy in many ways that were not so at the 4th Russian Cup. And the We Are The Champions part is definitely weaker than the Bohemian Rhapsody part. But they kept their nerve and didn't fall apart, that was a job well done even if they might not be the champions here.

 

[ancientpeas]

The tech panel was not feeling the death spirals put out today. No one got a 4. I think only B/K got a 3.

 

[rollerblade]

The single salchow aside, this Queen program still feels rough around the edges. But it's unfair to compare since B/K had a full season and a half on their Bond program.
