2021 Cranberry Cup International

These are the fastest ice makers in the history of ice making.

As a tragic fan I must ask, what's T/M skating like in person? Are they as fast as they say?

 

[twirlingaround]

Chan/Howe have improved a lot since I saw them last. I think the flamenco program suits them.

They sure have! Can’t wait to see them at Nationals

Spencer and Emily skating better than ever here! Loved that program. So much energy and chemistry!

They have nice potential. Nice speed.

To be fair, this is only the 3rd time they’ve competed together. And this is the first rough performance they’ve had.

Yep, I have added to my original post. I understand. But they have both been in pressure situations before. They need to find a way to push out the over-expectations that are seemingly being placed on them from fans, fed, etc. They are an exciting team, and if they relax, they can do it.

Obviously, Knierim/Frazier, and Ash/Timothy came up on a lot of nerves at Worlds too. It happens, no matter how you prepare. But big time competitors learn how to manage. You're supposed to feel nerves and butterflies. It's about learning how to manage them, and to know to expect that funny feeling in the pit of your stomach.

Yes. They are fast. I felt bad for her when she fell.

Emily/Spencer have always had potential, but this speed is something they've recently developed. They were middling fast previously, and inconsistent, even though they obviously possessed power, ability and nice elements. I just haven't seen them put it together this well with material that works so well for them. That's probably a big factor. Good music and choreography, with fab costumes. They are definitely moving faster now, and with more confidence and assurance. I would have scored them slightly higher. I know they lost points a bit with the slight forward lean on Emily's jump landing.

Watching it live, Jessica & Bryan's extension is really stunning.

 

[Dogo]

I would say T/M are mostly in sync and looks like a huge deal of effort went onto the choreo. They are still here and talking to Morozov while watching the competition.

Maybe I maybe you, that's the final statement Krasnopolski surely gave to all his previous partners when split

 

[ladyjane]

Evgeni with his 100th partner (sorry, I can't help it)...not too bad for a first outing.

 

[readernick]

Is Haley new the pairs skating? She seemed uncomfortable on the ice. But, it was a solid performance for the Israeli teams level.

 

[auser]

Ah come on Camera Person I wanted to see moonvine and her Israel flag.

 

[Brauliomx]

Brian Johnson wow that derriere and legs! gold medal for him

 

[anonymoose_au]

Yeeeah

 

[readernick]

Jessica looks great. Brian looks like someone who has 7 pairs of the same pants and 7 black shirts in their closet because they can't be bothered with fashion.

 

[Brauliomx]

Solid 3 toes, but they were soooooo apart from each other like he was skating at Lake Placid and she in Norwood

Good saved landing in the throw triple from Jessica

 

[anonymoose_au]

That was done great unison on the SBS!

Go Jessica and Brian!

 

[coldblueeyes]

When these two go clean(ish) they are amazing. Nothing to say.

 

[TontoK]

Well... reports of their demise were greatly exaggerated.

 

[apgold]

Great job, Jessica and Brian! I'm not a fan of this cover of Come Together, but they sold it. How she landed that throw - reflexes of a cat!
