2022 Winter Olympics: Pairs Free Skate

[Seven Sisters]

I predict that the talented young Georgians go ahead of MTM, though I still don’t understand the concept of In This Shirt for a male-female team.

ETA—yup, go buy a lottery ticket, I’m on a roll

 

[Artemisa]

Go Georgia

Terrible competition so far. Lots of pairs holding on for one last Olympics before they retire! So disappointing compared to 2018, which had brilliant depth. Hopefully some new blood emerges in the next Olympic cycle.

except most of these pairs are brand new... only MTM and DMG are "experienced"

She was already doing commentary at Europeans. And she was not a fan of T/M skating to this song. I thought, it was a bit annoying. I mean, she doesn´t own this song.

Oh I hope T/M can do it...

And yes Aljona it's not "Your Song"

She also famously said that S/H were copying her and Bruno so I'd take anything she says with a tiny lil grain of salt

GEORGIANS! Wonderful!

 

[Kittosuni]

looks like the Georgian team are the youngest pair. Only 17 and 19 years old. They have great pair qualities. Just need more exposure. And him to develop more core strength

 

[bartlebooth]

Uhoh I'm a bit scared about what she'll say about T/M using a song she and Bruno used!

Good luck Karina and Luka ( I wonder if he lives on the second floor)

OMG I love this song!

 

[4everchan]

OMG... the canadian bob just flipped over at 130kms

Possibly Unpopular Opinion: I love In This Shirt as skating music. Kevin Aymoz's version was best, but I thought Hawayek/Baker's Free Dance to it was strong.

As for Safina/Berulava, I'm very excited to see them develop. The maturity and interpretation isn't fully there yet but the potential is.

 

[essence_of_soy]

I never thought I'd see a pair skate to a song about a breakup of a gay relationship. LOL

For some reason I'm reminded of the time Brasseur and Eisler skated to Relax by Frankie Goes To Hollywood.

 

[fishing]

Ah camera crew, such a shame about the overhead cam when it's not wanted. So wanted to see that lift from the ice.

 

[CrazyKittenLady]

Oh, this pair will bring me a lot of joy in the future!!!

 

[brens78]

No chillies yay!

 

[Baron Vladimir]

Finally

OMG... the canadian bob just flipped over at 130kms

This is why I can´t watch bob...

 

[LittleLotte29]

Grease 2 is my favourite go-to guilty pleasure!

This movie is a pleasure of mine and not even a guilty one!

 

[CellarDweller]

It's a bit awkward, but it's a really lovely song...I'd skate to it TBF.

It's a great song, and I always think of Kevin Aymoz when I hear it.
