2021 Worlds: Pairs' Free Skate

[skylark]

Wooo- hooo!!! My Russians! Yeah, you heard me, they're MY Russians, I've been trilling Anastasia and Alexandr are my favorites for months now!

So happy for them

p.s. that final flight sort of seemed like the New Generation against the Old Generation!

 

[LadyB]

That's what they were saying all the time

What a coincidence, ey?

 

[Anni234]

"we will go to sleep" haha

 

[Gourlie]

And Czech commentators are glad that the judges were not "sentimental" and did not put S / H in the first place!

Come on Galliamov.... man up and answer some questions. Don't let the lady do all the work.

 

[SnowWhite]

Oh em gee!!!!!! Japan’s got two pair
spots for the Olympics!!!!!!

Well, no. They have a chance to get a 2nd at Nebelhorn if they have another team that can earn it. But for 2022 Worlds they do.

I love this interview:
Interviewer: 'How will you celebrate?'
Anastasia: 'We will go to sleep!'
Congratulations Anastasia and Aleksandr!

 

[ana]

Congratulations to medalists!
Sad for my favourite team Alexandra/Dimitri.

Really? For me, on contrary, M/G have that factor and BK don’t. I really see big future for MG.

B/K shine a little brighter for me. Take away the tricks and M/G don't really have much chemistry between them - but hey thats skating I guess - totally differing opinions.

 

[Dreamer57]

Nastia just said they will celebrate their win by going to sleep. Haha!

 

[Novalis]

"we will go to sleep" haha

Nastya is such a party animal

I think the main thing I'm concerned about is when you lose a few points on PCS that you really should have received, you feel compelled to train more risky combos, etc, just to make up those few points in difference... with Beijing coming up people in all disciplines getting lowballed in PCS could easily mean they could feel like they have no choice but to risk things like more quads (jumps & throws) just to have a chance. I'm all for people pushing themselves and producing more spectacular programs but it leaves a sour taste in my mouth when more mature artistry is not rewarded.

 

[SnowWhite]

Come on Galliamov.... man up and answer some questions. Don't let the lady do all the work.

He always lets her talk when they do English interviews. I remember Ted trying to get him to answer a question and he just looked to Anastasia like 'help'.

 

[elektra blue]

how many olympic spots did Italy get? 1?

 

[TontoK]

Nah. Tuktamysheva. If M/G can do it, she surely can!

If this happens, I will run around my yard stark naked with joy. And I promise not to post pics.

 

[Silvia451]

Ok, they are cute. And Sui/Han were not perfect today. But that PCS score will stay on my mind...

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Ok, I’m in Indonesia again for the victory ceremony

 

[LadyB]

Bloody hell, I can't get over this! Beauty!
A VC now on.

 

[Flying Feijoa]

At least MG won! A medal for T M would’ve made this day even better, but oh well...

Sasha looks pissed at Moskvina, says “congrats with world champions”

Yikes. B/K need to work on their mentality. It's not Moskvina's fault that they made mistakes here and M/G didn't.

Yes, I also think T/M should have been bronze. Guess that short programme was too costly.

 

[P44]

I mean, Galliamov is rumoured to be not the nicest person at the rink...

Where does it come from ?
