2024 CS Nebelhorn Pairs Free Skate

I am so glad I can understand German because the commentary was in that language. Minerva and Nikita were wonderful, Deanna and Maxime as well (I like the water theme, something very different), and I just loved Lia and Trennt's tango. Obviously, the best today won, and you can see all the couples have to get into their programmes, but what a joy to watch them as early as this. I hope that Elly and Danny will improve, their choreography is just great!

The official free non-geoblocked live stream for Pairs FS will start momentarily -- at 21:00 local time -- as first group is scheduled to end and resurfacing is scheduled to begin Schaller/Mayr (last pair in first group) are skating.
(I don't think the official free partial streaming has been mentioned above?)


I think/hope the official free live stream will be archived at least for a while?
At least for now, I am able to watch the archived official free livestream of Men's FS.

Thank you for sharing the free livestream. I was able to watch almost the last 2 groups while finishing up work for the week.

I have never seen the Polish team before, they have a lot of promise. I gasped when Ellie and Danny fell on that lift, glad they seem okay. This is second week in row where we've had such an incident, I hope this isn't a trend. Speaking of trends, most of music was very somber with a few bright spots.

Minerva and Nikita really impressed me today, I hope they aren't peaking too soon because if they continue to skate the way they are, they could be WC. I liked their "winter" costumes too, very classy.

Deanna and Max were good but not great on the SBS and left points on the table. Were they supposed to be the ocean or something with their costumes? I think their programs last season were stronger but we'll see how the season progresses.

Thanks you, I'm watching it now..
 
Oh my god that was an emotional rollercoaster...I have to sleep because my alarm goes off at 6:30 tomorrow but I'm still processing that scary fall of Ellie and Danny and of course Miniki!!! I have no words.
And OMG 65 in skate picks!!
 
THe right team won though I could have seen higher pcs for the defending world champs I have to be honest I do like Max and Deanna but I knew they are not a team that is "super well liked" (?) like I knew the judges won't hold them up which they could (not that the should). Look at last week and just in general the Japanese were a hot mess but still held up score and pc wise. Nothing against the Germans but I said Max and Deanna will be "dumped" if they don't get artistically really interesting programs and add some tech. Go backto 2018 and you Duhamel and Radford doing individual triple lutzes and a throw quad. If the judges don't love you "naturally" then you better have something - artistry and extreme tech. I know it is the first even but look at that huge score already. This is a the score a world champion team. Deanna and Max just don't have that extra it but watch out for those Americans. Looks like the rise of the Americans and perhaps the fall of Canada. Both of these teams from Canada really need to figure a way to set themselves apart. i think both have potenial (relatively)

I seen their FS and is nice , very different to last season Interview with the vampire and is nice even was like wow see their costume color (back to colors really) , i think is subjective the topic about interesting or not , a 3rd place isn't bad really but it could be better .i couldn't agree more with you they needs more tech. variety .

Minerva and Nikita was great and very elegant ,like watch ballet because such elegance and for me is a great artistic impression, had a better choreography and a very well relationship with music and tech.elements.

Anastasia and Luke are my new favorites ,elegant with such british power even music was very british for me is a nice FS with a rich technical elements and well composed choreography .

Very impressed with Minerva and Nikita's free program. As soon as I saw them last year, they reminded me of the immediate impact that a pair can have when they find the right partner. Reminds me of Volosozhar/Trankov but more elegant. Very evenly matched between the two, and he is as just expressive as she is.

I just looked at protocols... i haven't seen the skates yet.

I am not at all surprised that Deanna and Max left points on the table with SBS. They often bring the goodies for the later part of the season...

I am mostly impressed with them including the 3lz throw. BRAVO ! Not easy for Deanna to learn such difficult elements at this point in her career. To me, it does show that they are trying to gain every single point they can grab. Winning attitude.
 
ok.. i have watched both Deanna and Max and Miniki's LPs

I am a bit laughing in my beard considering that DSD got some flack in this thread for their ocean program being boring and generic... and Miniki got some praise (not that much but still some) for theirs.

Let me be clear : both programs are equivalent as they do not have a strong and defining narrative. One of them has 5 seconds of annoying bubble sounds the other one has a minute of Vivaldi on steroids that made my ears bleed :)

Miniki are way ahead everyone when it comes to SBS jumps. They look so easy for them and that's why they are on top and that's why they probably could be favourites to win many more events.

Lifts : i prefered DSD's lifts by far... the first lift of Miniki was not attractive at all in my opinion.

Throws, Deanna gets flack for bending over on the throw reception. Minerva did the same on her second throw.

Death spirals : Deanna's position is much better.

Choreo sequence : both are not that great.

In the end, the programs are both a tad uninspiring and the winners are the ones able to jump their SBS properly. However, I am far from agreeing that Deanna and Max have awful programs this year... :) I don't like their SP... I think I liked the LP. :)

I didn't look for Ellie and Danny's LP : I didn't want to watch 5 falls in one program getting high PCS nevertheless.

If Trennt and Lia's LP shows up, I will certainly watch it.

I know we are commenting live in competition threads, and I am not as I wasn't available to watch this live... and when doing so, we all get dramatic... (including myself) but looking at Deanna and Max's program, I am not as worried as some posters who were saying that the program would never be good enough to win them another title.

The team that will win the WC will be the team landing their jumps and throws. That's all :)

For me it's down to Deanna/Max having a higher maximum score than Minerva/Nikita but the former can't afford any errors compared to the latter who will probably be more technically sound in that aspect

Miniki will always have the edge with their SBS BV.
Deanna and Max now have a higher value throw (3lz)
Deanna and Max could get more points on the twist and DS.
I think lifts will be about the same.

So BV maybe always for the Germans.
 
I couldn't watch yesterday, but I'm happily waking up to the news that H/V have won. Hope the lucky streak continues for the entire team. :jump:Deanna and Max are big (and great) competition for sure. (y)

Unpopular opinion: Deanna's free is better than Minerva's.

I think are almost the same level even if comparison are hateful but Deanna FS are better than Minerva but judges based their final decision following their Artistic impression
 
Man, well what can I say. Danny and Ellie - I'm so glad no one was injured. Jeez. Impressed that they went on and landed some things. Wonder what caused that fall on the lift - he's such a strong pairs guy.
And pairs girls and so tough. Wow. And the smile on his face never dimmed. I can't wait to see this at Skate America.

And the Poles - great job!
 
I watched Deanna and Max's FS. I thought it was pretty good too. I like the contrast from last year's Vampire FS. She has incredible determination. I watch her much more than him. Don't like their SP, but I don't like Miniki's SP that much either.

Not sure what to say about the Americans yet. Still too early in the season with too many technical errors right now. Hopefully, both will be better by Skate America.

Daniel Weiss on German TV said that Ellie couldn't find a good position for her foot on Danny's thigh which made him lose balance
