it's not a cover of Fix You

Do'h!

I know Zoe's age is brought up all the time, but it really is impressive for me when I can't even be arsed to get out of bed for most of the day when not at work... (yeah, I know, real high standard I'm comparing her to)

Nice recovery from Zoe after the early fall to land the throws.

 

[3T3T]

Two very nice throws from Zoe & Christopher but everything else was a bit rough. I felt nervous during the lifts. Pairs ladies are brave.

Ready for another night full of skating, good luck to everyone competing!

I know! What a legend! And she gets thrown in the air and across the ice as well!

Plus what lovely costumes

Zoe and Chris: good for you. I loved watching them again.

 

[figureskatingandrainbows]

Pairs is the scariest discipline to watch

 

[Weathergal]

Zoe and Chris: good for you. I loved watching them again.

Same, they are a special pair indeed!

 

[Ruthypegs]

Good evening, everyone! Looking forward to this event (and the men's). I'll be cheering on Hase and Seegert.

 

[FlyingFeather]

J/B: I love watching them skate! I also like this version of Fix You. When they jumped, I really thought that they'd both land the toe. I am not knowledgeable about the technique associated with pair lifts. Does anyone know why they got negative GOEs?

 

[EdgeCall]

Well, they won't win a medal but they certainly didn't look out of place either.

 

[skylark]

I promised myself I was gonna push the mute button next time I was watching a skate to Fix You, and so I did.

But I want to say that to me, it's so enjoyable to see a pair skating at their level, with joy and love in evidence, seemingly so happy to be competing internationally and have the opportunity to practice their sport and compete, and also to express something happy and beautiful with their performances!

This is probably the best part of J/B; that they look like they skate for nothing but the joy of doing it. It has a magic of its own.

The program got better with time.

 

[EdgeCall]

Nice skate from M/F. Maybe the music is a tad too fast for them.

 

[LadyB]

I'm in! Shouting for Dasha and Den, Ash and Tim and Minerva and Nolan!

 

[ladyjane]

That was a nice skate for Lori-Ann and Therry. A bit of a mishap on their SBS combination, and a not so good Triple twist, but great death spiral.
