2021 Worlds: Pairs' Free Skate

Lamente Ariane, I now have "TubThumping" on endless loop in my brain.

Aw no top 10

Let's see... I'm still hoping for 10th place.

Who is making these matching masks for Canadian ladies?

The costumes are by Mathieu Caron, so I assume he made them masks from the same fabric (he was/is selling masks online too, in styles matching various famous costumes he has made in the past).

 

[CellarDweller]

Ok, are you seeing skating or ice resurfacing? I'm just trying to determine if I'm caught up to you all. lol

Really beautiful skating from the Italians, the Canadians and the Austrians. I thoroughly enjoyed this flight. It was interesting seeing their faces, too. Kirsten seemed visibly worried throughout, and then so relieved at the end that they performed so well. Nicole was more ... I don't know, stoic? throughout, or just keeping her thoughts at a high or focused level. And then at the end, she and Matteo looked just really happy with how they'd skated. (Can't help making note of another scary/wobbly lift in the middle of Kirsten/Michael's program.)

Evelyn and Trennt were solid and as usual were composed and I always have the idea that they just really enjoy and appreciate skating with one another. And the Austrians are a perennial favorite of mine, such lovely, charming skaters. It's really nice to see them end their worlds on this note. As for what comes now, what will be, will be!

Can't even imagine what the I.AM kiss and cry looks will be

Resurfacing. The Zamboni has left the ice now.

Madi Chock will win it

KMT/MM is skating now on NBCSN, so it sounds like I'm catching up to you.

I'm still on the clock, so my work laptop is still on. Every time the chime rings to alert me to a new email, I get ticked off and yell "What now?" LOL

Me too, lol How dare we have to work while Worlds is going on? At least for me, my work is light and lots of colleagues are on holiday.

 

[CellarDweller]

Ok, thanks everyone! I'm seeing the Austrian pair now, so I'm assuming that once the resurfacing is done, we'll all be on the same pairs.

Are there 3 broadcast cameras for this rink? One of each side of the cutouts on the boards, and one centered behind the judges I assume.

 

[SpiffySpiders]

This will be blasphemy to some... but I prefer the Canadian #2 over the #1.

My pickiness as to how a few of their lifts look aesthetically aside, I kinda do as well...

 

[labgoat]

I remember when Nicole & Matteo were considered mismatches. Nice to have seen their development over the years. Beautiful program.

I am so happy to see DM/G get back some of what was lost!

This break music is so 80s, Roxette, Eurythmics.

I always think of Ashley Wagner shimmying in her blue costume when Sweet Dreams plays.

Well, if things were 'normal', I'd be at the office, and missing this competition, so this is one good thing for working from home.

Like you, I can't believe I'm being forced to assist customers while people are attempting throw lutz jumps!
