2023 NHK Trophy Pairs Free Skate

[Andrea82]

With a second and a third place, Beccari/Guarise are behind Ghilardi/Ambrosini and the Hungarians in the race to GPF
All with 24 points but the sum of the scores would be
G/A 377
Hungarians 373
B/G 371

Can MiNiki stop popping jumps? And it's almost always like clockwork that they'll switch who pops the jumps from one competition to the next

This team is just so solid and so good, it's unbelievable how recently they teamed up and that they are already this well-rounded. They have the SBS jumps, the throws, the lifts, the twist... what's not to love? We'll see you in Beijing!

HV : very very much above the pack. there is no comparison between them and the kitties.

I am confused when you call them HV. In Finnish it a shorten from a saying I cannot type here because it would be banned. But it is something you would say to the judges when you don't like the scores.

But they are just so lovely and elegant. GPF final, who would believe it just a couple of months ago?

 

[EdgeCall]

That should do.

 

[LadyB]

Fantastic! This one's for Dima and Fedya too

 

[SmileHappy34]

H/V is using the same formula as for any other pair - First letter of the last names. Though sometimes we have to use a second letter, like G/P can be Gilles/Poirier or Green/Parsons

 

[LadyB]

Beau.ti.ful!!!! So deserved in the final, together with Pavlova/Sviatchenko!!!

Three of these teams scored above 200, the rest above 190 this season. Definitely will be very interesting how this will play out.
Calling it now, sbs jumps will be the deciding factor.
