Stop with the Rye-oh-she's Mr Howarth I cannot bear it

If only Murakami/Moriguchi were eligibles for seniors...

 

[Ichatdelune]

Ryuko Kihara????????????

The v-necks finally got to Ryuichi

In pairs, leveled elements matter a lot. L/E got a bunch of level 1 and 2 on elements. This is why their TES was lower. It's not a conspiracy, it's math. If they had gotten higher levels, they would have been ahead even with their deservedly lower PCS .

they got lower levels on spin and ds... much less costly than jumping doubles... this is math.

Jesus H Christ, y'all need to get a grip with the wuzrobbed.

If USFSA is going to flex whatever imaginary influence you think they may have, it will certainly not be wasted to alter the 5-7 pairs standings at a weak-ass 4CC in an off-Olympic year.

Already feeling sorry for Deanna and Max. Cause it is looking like no matter how they skate they will end up 3rd behind Chan/Howe even if the later have multiple errors (like they did in the short).

They only have a double twist though?

I don't find him hot, am I wrong in some way

No, but thanks for leaving his hotness for us to share!

Poor Kelly Ann and Loucas - they get left behind because of home cooking. No way should P/F have scored that high.

Apparently botching all your jump elements doesn't matter anymore! I'm way too annoyed about this. Watching skating is supposed to be fun...

It’s not conspiracy theorizing to disagree with the way these three teams were marked.
I think they has some stingy GOE’s and they had more difficult technical content/and or better execution on the jumps and the throws.
I felt that they were also under marked in the short.

I think he learned his bad pronounciation of Asian names by watching too many dubbed kung fu movies

 

[yuumagical]

Can't believe the announcer just called Ryuichi "Ryoko" Ryoko's a female Japanese name...

I think once they had the fall on the throw 3S the judges took the opportunity to lowball them
Can't remember, is it top 6 or top 8 that receive WS points for this competition?

 

[anonymoose_au]

This season?

Oh yeah I just this second remembered...

Well good luck to them both!

 

[Sackie]

Just wonder how many of those defending the home cooking will feel if it were to happen at worlds in Canada, with the CAN skaters getting higher scores even with big errors.

No, it isn't. The base value of those elements is often higher than jumps because SBS jumps in pairs ( with a few exceptions) are low BV. Losing levels and getting negative GOE on lifts and pairs elements matters more than landing messy ( negative GOE) jumps. It's all clear on the protocols.

I don't think they are even eligible for milano2026 let alone this year's

Love your profile pic!

All the judges had to do was be stingy with the GOEs, which they were, and stingy on the PCS, which they also were.
