2021 Rostelecom Cup: Pairs Free Skate

[GGFan]

Hi Tamara. I absolutely love Moskvina.

Daria has hair blings. Much better than face blings.

face blings are fine when they're not the size of a coin

Is it Rosliakov or Dobroskokov with D&D?

 

[Seven Sisters]

This is a trend I can get behind. In fact if you show me a cute baby, I mentally increase your score by 5 points

Does it have to be ones own baby, though? I foresee a lively commerce in swapping random baby photos from friends/relatives, just to gain your favor, and that extra five point bonus.

Is it Rosliakov or Dobroskokov with D&D?

I believe that's Rosliakov

Anastasia's dress is lovely. I'm not sure how I feel about Sasha's purple pants

That was a nice triple twist with arms aloft.

 

[Totentanz]

I couldn't recognize these two with much better costumes than yesterday's.

Hi Tamara. I absolutely love Moskvina.

Who doesn't? She is the biggest monument in pairs skating, and she knows how to hide it well.

 

[figureskatingandrainbows]

Audrey and Misha have such solid technical elements. I can't wait to see them develop artistically, and I appreciate that they're going for more unqiue programs this season

 

[rinkside_user]

Ouch. Did she hit her head? EDIT: thankfully, she did not.

 

[Totentanz]

I didn't know that Denis and Betina Popova are a married couple since 2020.

One fall, but otherwise good skate from the young pair

FS: 61.10+61.09-1.00 = 121.19, 186.16, 1/5

It's so amazing to have an American team who can consistently land abs jumps. Now can we send L/M to another coach to polish them up and help them with their pairs elements? They could be going places.

 

[labgoat]

I think this has been such a great learning year for these two. I love their commitment to their theme even if they still are learning to project.

 

[norwegianfairytale]

OOoh auch the fall

But really strong performance

 

[Seven Sisters]

You know, the Russian audiences do know their pairs skating, and they are reacting very enthusiastically for L/M, which is a great compliment and nice to see

 

[Hyena]

Impressed with the growth Lu/Mitrofanov continue to make. Audrey in particular is projecting more, IMO. But what I'd really love to see them work on now is the speed and confidence in their throws and lifts - I think that's their next big step as a team.
