2024 JGP Riga Cup Pairs Free Skate

OK. Lion didn't roar today.... when the first element doesn't work, it often happens that a program will go out of control.. but they fought hard

 

[FlossieH]

That really wasn't Flores and Wang's skate. They don't seem to have got into their stride yet for this season. Not sure they'll stay on the podium.

So... Mufasa died and Simba died with him in this Lion King, so much red

 

[4everchan]

now i am scared for Jazzy and Kiki

 

[FlossieH]

Anyone else getting stuttering?

Yes. I thought it was my internet!

Kieran Thrasher is honestly one of the greatest names I've ever heard.

What was the leader's score in the short? It's not on the front page.

TOT: 152.23 (2nd)

The costuming is amazing, I am obsessed with Jazmine's bodysuit. The twist is lovely, and the lifts are solid. This wasn't nearly as messy as some of their previous skates, but those jump and throw elements are still giving them trouble. Nevertheless, they've done enough to take silver here.

 

[Ichatdelune]

He is one strong lifter, pity none of the jumps were clean today

 

[4everchan]

Amazing program... so promising... not yet all clean of course but wow... the range they have from Amélie to LZ. I think it was tough for them but they fought hard. Should be enough for silver

I am here but still having trouble watching with my stream quitting every 3rd element. Impossible to comment on what i can't see.

 

[FlossieH]

That was a decent skate for them, but I think the Chinese pair have it.

Honestly, I am going to go and change the name of a character in a book I am writing from Ethan to Kieran. It just has the vibe, lol. Too minor to work in the last name too, but I wish I could. Hard to explain, but after you said this, I just saw that char. lol. Good thing I am only 3 chapters in, easy to find/replace.

I was sleeping early but I doubt we saw many clean jumps overall... It's normal for juniors. I mean are you including throws in there too? Same deal except for the Chinese team who have amazing throw. I think what we see is normal

You can tell Ted and Mark think so too.

 

[elektra blue]

You can tell Ted and Mark think so too.

they were clearly the best in this field

Well.. it is obvious the Chinese won this. Though, PCS will be better for the Canadians. Chinese skaters really didn't have much to show in that department.

I was including throws, yes. And I know that it's rare to see a clean skate in juniors, I was just sad that the program (which is very good) wasn't able to shine properly because of those errors

 

[TallyT]

The Chinese have won!
