2021 Worlds: Pairs' Free Skate

[Astolat]

Sorry for being grumpy, but another generic pop ballad...

 

[Ziotic]

Is it normal for a level 1 on their twist?

 

[saturdaysun]

What on earth happened to Michael and Kirsten's twist?? Two Lvl1s in a row.

 

[labgoat]

Yes! That's the best they've performed all season, and after injury and bereavement, that's a major success for them.
Also, their lifts are gorgeous

Bereavement?

I think to the normal 6 spots up for grab at Nebelhorn you ad any spots to be "reearned" lets say in men 1 for Us and one for Rus. Then ther would be 8 spots total up for grabs and top 8 qualify for Olympics. If Us/ rus man are among them they get the 3rd spot if not some other contry gets 1 spot instead.

This is how I understand it too. But, maybe I am wrong?

I love the Canadian pairs I just want the best for them!

 

[Lamente Ariane]

All these ballads are really testing me.

 

[Vilord]

Who thought these costumes would go together?. Neither are terrible on their own but her dress clash with his shirt

 

[saturdaysun]

Holy hell I can't believe he saved that lift.

 

[rollerblade]

Oh gosh Marinaro on that lift.

 

[GoneWithTheWind]

Bereavement?

I believe Matteo lost a family member before the first Gran Premio Italia competition, which is why they withdrew.

Yes, did someone accidently leave a costume at home and have to borrow one? What is the thought process behind this?

KMT is a cat, fact

twist and lift issues, there must be something going on there, not normal for them. SO SO much better than yesterday. I'm glad they put whatever that was behind them. Not the competition they wanted, but they have a whole year to get it together.

Love the slice of Canadian cheese.

 

[s_parks]

OMG, these lifts... Bruno needs to call Eric in to do a lift bootcamp with Michael.

Oh that is too bad.

 

[Koatterce]

Not their best, but better than yesterday and I'll take it!

 

[cathlen]

I always worry about lifts with these two. Also, the mismatched costumes are very distracting, they don't make sense to me.

 

[ancientpeas]

Well done Kristin.

*side eye at Marinaro*

 

[Supernovaimplosion]

What is a blower anyway??
