2023 Skate America Pairs Free Skate

[tabsy]

Not ideal is a very diplomatic way to put it, lol

What can I say, I'm in a generous mood

Well... an unfortunate jump error... but i loved this performance. First time with whom I connect musically today. They really were trying to match their movement to the music. Happy with this one. Should be in first.

 

[RatedPG]

I’m kinda sad!! Overall, a good skate.
Just the element that makes them special they screwed up with. Love that 3T 2A 2A combo when it is on. Hoping for a 180+ score

 

[tabsy]

Well, that was an awkward ending! LOL

So clunky! I'd definitely re-choreograph

 

[Jeanie19]

P/M. I like their costumes and this program. A couple of mistakes, but still a really good skate.

 

[slider11]

Waiting for some of that great Sparticus highlight music. This needs work.

 

[FlossieH]

Silver at least. Let's set how Hocke and Kunkel deal with the pressure...

 

[4everchan]

Hocke's costume is a no no.

[momrk]

Let's end this with a strong skate!

 

[Jumping_Bean]

I thought we were past the 3S woes after she landed it every single time in the last three competitions, but no

 

[Jumping_Bean]

Tooo

I miss the Chinese pairs

Eh, they'd fit right in here with the inability to land triples

 

[labgoat]

Annika has such an expression joy when she skates. Two marvelous throws and great lifts. Some miscues on the sbs jumps and sequences. Gonna be very close...I think they finally will get a GP win.

 

[4everchan]

Oh well... they were not as impressive as in the SP... I would give this to Lia and Trennt. Judges will probably not do it. but yeah.

FS: 120.64 (1st)
TOT: 184.23 (1st)

That might be enough to take the title, depending on rotation on the jumps and PCS. A beautiful skate, even if it is to Stereotypical Pairs Sadboi Music.

 

[RatedPG]

Damn!! The Canadians would have won had they executed the jump combo

 

[slider11]

It will be close but I'd give it to the Germans.

 

[TontoK]

I'm not sure I'd score these Germans ahead of the Canadians.

I thought it was just OK.

 

[Ruthypegs]

gosh - this will be close - I don't know who I'd put in first

 

[RatedPG]

Oh well... they were not as impressive as in the SP... I would give this to Lia and Trennt. Judges will probably not do it. but yeah.

I think the Germans will eek this one out. Rooting for Canadians to win!! I preferred the Canadians today
