2021 Worlds: Pairs' Free Skate

[Lamente Ariane]

I’m so glad I’m not listening to Tara and Johnny right now.

 

[Colonel Green]

Does Japan's second pairs slot get thrown back into the Nebelhorn slots, then?

I assume that's what they'd do, unless they give it to whichever team comes next in the World rankings here.

 

[Roo87]

Japan might get top 10!

 

[Fluture]

So, I don’t know a lot on pairs, can anyone explain why those two just got +COMBO on the 3T even though the 3S was still to come and they could have theoretically done 3S+2T+2T? Is there a special rule I‘m not aware of?

 

[Seven Sisters]

So far, they look like MT/M did yesterday—not seizing the moment

 

[litenkyckling]

such a drab music choice

they're already top 10

Eeeeek!! EEEEEEEEEK!!! Those jumps!!

Maybe because it would be hard to coordinate?

Alexa looks like she's genuinely enjoying it though so I'm happy for her????

 

[Fluture]

Goddammit, I missed the Japanese team. How did they do?

Fall on a throw 3Lo and she doubled the 3T in the combo. Otherwise good.

Messy landings to start, better in the 2nd half

FS: 63.22+64.21 = 127.43, 192.10, 2/14

 

[Ichatdelune]

Messy first half, picked up during the latter half.

I think one of them tacked on a 1T after the bad 3T, but the other did not.

 

[Fluture]

Well, that was not it but they‘re very new as a pair and there were some really promising moments. I enjoyed their performance overall.

I wanted to know the same thing. Did they do something that invalidated the second jump?

[Anni234]

This music is soo powerful

 

[moonvine]

Well but honestly..I think we all expect a lot from a pair who has been together less than a year, got together during a pandemic and this is only their third competition.

 

[Hyena]

I had really hoped Knierim/Frazier would shake off their nerves from the short, but not quite. Avoiding falls is a success in and of itself, and I really, really hope we'll get to see them perform up to their potential consistently.
