2023 Four Continents Pairs Free Skate

[moonvine]

Wish that Danny had a pair partner that was at an equal skill level. Ellie has a long way to go with her jumps and throws. But very nice lifts-Danny is just so rock solid as a base and Ellie has the balance and acrobatic skills there. I wonder if Deanna S-D ever considered Danny as a partner. Deanna is doing well now with Max and how much longer can this 39 year old go but have to wonder what Deanna and Danny might have accomplished.

Word on the street is Deanna was ill treated by USFS.

The Canadians very happy.

I think these two have so much potential. Long lines, good difficulty. All the raw material is there.

Bring on Captain America!

I do not like this program - may be unpopular opinion

6 points lower in PCS - that is crazy! Just so they move behind the Americans.

Love her outfit again.

not sure why the negative goe on the last lift... i didn't see the problem... low levels on DS and spin.... i guess they will keep the americans in front though they had barely any tech content other than the lifts.

I like this young Canadian team but they always get these kind of levels and they deserve those levels. They don't have good presentation or SS. The score is fair.

Now, what they do have is time because they are both so young and they will improve.

I'm disgusted that the Americans placed ahead. Lowballed for the Canadians again. Given the level of difficulty and the superior cleanliness of L/E it shouldn't have been a contest.

I agree on everything except I did see the problem with the DS in real time — I wondered if he actually pulled her out early, because it looked like he lost his pivot. That or he stumbled coming out.

But totally agree this pair was superior to the Americans.

I mean it really was expected.

I like the concept but not the music (it's boring), but great lifts!

 

[Sackie]

Seems the judges and Tech panel are very good at doing quick math in their heads to make sure the scores are what they need to be to have the 'right' team come out on top.

 

[anonymoose_au]

Dem lifts!

 

[yume]

The jumps were disastrous but the twist and the lifts were impressive.

 

[moonvine]

So many of us like P/F…but they really really need to get it together…

He barely managed to get her up into the last lift. Having seen this same lift from them before, it's very clear that this lift was a huge struggle for them here and it looked very laboured to me.

 

[readernick]

I enjoy their SP but this FS has never been well skated. Amazing lifts but the jumping elements don't work.

He's my favorite coach.
