2024 CS Golden Spin of Zagreb Pairs FS

[Jumping_Bean]

Congrats to everyone (particularly those who achieved a personal/season's best score)
But in particular to the podium and the two teams rounding out the top 5:

Ioulia CHTCHETININA / Michal WOZNIAK
Emily CHAN / Spencer Akira HOWE
Audrey SHIN / Balazs NAGY
4. Letizia ROSCHER / Luis SCHUSTER
5. Sophia SCHALLER / Livio MAYR

Double. That's why I said they have completely different strengths and weaknesses than Chelsea and Balazs.

Better to have a clean double then lose points!

Impressive from Audrey Shin landing both throws as she is so new to pairs. No doubt triple twist is in the plans for next season. They are for sure getting Skate America host spot. They are probably looking more towards 2030 to be among the top teams and be fully competitive in the individual discipline but I would not rule out the possibility of them competing for 2026 team event spot, depending on how well they do next season.

Audrey also landed all three triple throws at the Boston National Qualifier in October, so this consistency is definitely not a fluke.
They have a chance at getting a non-host spot too, but it will be difficult next season for sure, pairs has been rebuilding wonderfully.

It will depend on how many Olympic spots the USA will get at this Worlds - With three they'd have a chance, if it's just two it's very unlikely.

Update on Worlds CTES minimums - Shin/Nagy missed it by 0.6 points, Roscher/Schuster by 1.73 points.

I wonder whether they will go for a triple twist at Nationals?

Four Continents is possibly depending how they do at Nationals.

Chan/Howe into second, too many mistakes

I don't remember them being so flaky before

Congratulations to Ioulia and Michał on winning and on improving their PB by over 8 pts.

Good for Audrey. Pairs was a smart move. Spencer and Emily need to regain their former form or they will not be advancing after this year. I really like them so I find it sad!!

Good for Audrey. Pairs was a smart move.

Yep if she stayed in singles, as great as she was at singles, she was going to get lost in the pack. I'm already so impressed with how far she's come since she hasn't been doing this that long.

Spencer and Emily need to regain their former form or they will not be advancing after this year. I really like them so I find it sad!!

Even before, Spencer's surgery, they weren't the most consistent team, but I think they're still building their way back, and of course there was the setback of Emily's concussion.

I think it's likely they'll get a 4CCs berth, but I think Worlds are likely to be Kam/O'Shea and Efimova/Mitrofanov.
