2023 Grand Prix Espoo Pairs Free Skate

[TT_Fin]

They both have had some issues, Milania back issues and Filippo in shoulder. They can and have done better this season.

 

[Jumping_Bean]

Guessing half the Finn pairs is Italian born anyway

Yep, but even for (European) pairs without any Italian connection, IceLab has become the place to be. They seem like a fun bunch of pairs tbh, some of them seem quite close (Rebecca Ghilardi and Milania for example)

 

[TT_Fin]

Also Milania's mother is Russian, so very international pair.

 

[CellarDweller]

Her royal blue dress is beautiful.

All shades of blue are beautiful, correct @elektra blue ?

 

[Ares]

Vaananen/Clerici well below their SB but it was not bad considering that they're a new team.

 

[elektra blue]

chance, Camille and Pavel

I challenge all of these pairs doing Arabian pulls to watch Tai & Randy to see how they are supposed to look - not like assisted waltz jumps.

 

[elektra blue]

oh no...this is a disaster...

 

[labgoat]

lift down, note the bandage on her wrist

 

[TT_Fin]

Oh no, fortunately he had strength not to drop her.

They started so strong but the second half was messy shame about the aborted lift.

 

[4everchan]

well.. that doesn't look good.

 

[Jumping_Bean]

Not the lift again. What's happening with the Kovalevs? She's having serious issues with the jumps, and the lifts are misfiring like never before. And what are their coaches thinking, putting two lifts so late in the Free?

 

[elektra blue]

well.. that doesn't look good.

neither do my predictions, it seems i consistently botch pairs

 

[labgoat]

Go home Cami & Pavel and heal up and come back stronger for your next event. Us fans will look forward to seeing you healthy again.

 

[4everchan]

apparently ben and brooke ditched SOS and are back to les mis... good move me thinks

I managed to get all the right men in all the wrong order

i am screwed here too... I didn't trust Peng Wang after their outing in China... I also didn't trust Brooke and Ben because their SOS sucked.. but they went back to les mis lol

i didn't trust the chinese enough, trusted the germans too much and bet on the wrong team for 5th
