2024 CS Nebelhorn Pairs Short Program

H/V missed 2.5 points at the spin! And one level at twist and spin.

So with a clean program they would have scores at least 76. Huge Potential still. Looks unbeatable to me in the SP.
they also missed a level on the lift which is not something any team can afford.

Deanna and Max stumbled on the level of the steps.... costly for them, only level 2. Their recurring issue is not getting much or any GOE on their throws.
 
Some videos are available in the rewatch found in the pre-game thread
 
Finally was able to watch Deanna and Max and Ellie and Danny. I had been able to watch Miniki live earlier.

K-O have the better program. However, I think her salchow wasn't fully rotated. Her throw was smaller than Deanna and much smaller than Minerva. I liked their DS the best (K-O's) their spins were going super well but I thought the exit was a bit rough. Seems like judges were willing to reward them for their progress on jumps and throws which is fine but I don't think those elements were strong compared to their competitors.

The lift : I am used to nicer lifts from them. I don't like their entrance in two steps. Once she's up there, it's amazing.
I liked their step sequence the best out of the three teams. Their program is more polished.

So yeah... I don't know. Close call... i am not sure how I would have judged that... but I felt that Miniki and DSD were more polished but less connected to their programs.

Now... just for the records : as much as I loved Oxygen for DSD last year, I dislike what their team has come up with... The costumes are nice though.
 
Um did Ellie just land a throw?? Great job
They have been posting to their IG landing All The Things. So I was definitely hoping. As usual I blew kisses to Danny in the K&C. Even though I'm not watching live who cares really?
 
Oh my goodness. The Polish pair! I love them and they are correct, moderation is for the birds.
