I like Katalin & Lukas a lot last week.

 

[bartlebooth]

Oh, gosh, that was even scarier!
Luckily they recovered

 

[labgoat]

I see a red door and I want to wear a red sleeve
Ouch scary landing on a really big twist - I do not want to see anymore red please

 

[labgoat]

I still think they are going to develop into a very good team.

Without trying to be rude, but Katalin is a much better jumper than Lukas. Her jumps are so consistent, and his are very much not so. Definitely a bit of an unusual dynamic, usually it's the other way around
First 3Tw attempt in competition, which is a step forward, but it still needs work.

Definitely funny how much she looks like her older sister - And how Nolan Seegert very much had a type when it came to partners.

Once he can land his jumps like she can, they would definitely already make a big jump forward.
The triple throw is good enough for their stage of development and the triple twist is new, so not unexpectedly still a work in progress, but the jumps have been a consistent problem.

Iggy (Jon) also skated singles last year

promising team, but sadly quite messy at the moment

Curiosity got the better of me. So, for the benefit of everybody else, here are Karolin SALATZKI / Nolan SEEGERT in an interesting position:

And here are Katalin Janne SALATZKI / Lukas ROESELER:

EDIT: Ach, the links don't take you directly to the photo! I'll try to fix them afterwards.

EDIT 2: Fixed now.​

I like that they have a similar look and energy to their skating. There is work to be done on several elements but a nice debut.

You're the expert succulent horticulturalist, so...

Is Pairs Skating starting to become the new Men's Singles Skating?

I hope not.

Sofia Enkova & Nikita Kovalenko very nice spins at the end. Nikita is originally from Kharkiv while Sofia is from Perm.

For reference, Karolin must have been around 13 here and Nolan around 17. They competed on the JGP circuit a season later, but there's basically no footage left of that.

Fun fact: Their brother, Julian, was an ice dancer, who even went on to represent Germany at Jr Worlds.

 

[labgoat]

Well I have two skaters right so far and one that is 1 place off. My other two are out of the top 5.
