2024 JGP Riga Cup Pairs Free Skate

[4everchan]

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

Yeah. Agreed. This LZ program could be just so smooth with all perfectly landed elements... I am waiting for it... but yeah, again, they are upgrading a lot of the jumps and throws... so I am not sure it will happen until maybe March ? Hopefully

PS... I have taken the freedom to call them Jazzy and Kiki but i think they deserve a better nickname... LOL

I'm going to go back to the start and watch the ones I missed through work. It looks from their score like Davison/Borisov had a bit of a disaster skate. They were okay at the GB qualifier last week.

@Ichatdelune ankle update : i am fine... will even go to the pool in a couple hours. It was scarier than it seems to have been. I am obviously not jumping around but the swelling is 95% gone... and the mobility is back... So, yeah... no more quad sals for me but I will resume Ina Bauers.

As a language nerd I can only think of this when I see Kiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bouba/kiki_effect

As for better nicknames, well I have no ideas right now. Maybe I'll brainstorm while we wait for the women

that's a lot of competing for a new team. Get rest little baby Brits and hang in there.

That's lovely to hear, and now you just have to not injure the thing again!

haha !!!! In my culture, anyone with a name starting with K can be called Kiki LOL.. Jazzy is a cool nickname for Jasmine though

that's the challenge. the sidewalks here are so uneven and I walk everywhere... i need to be super careful until the stability of the ankle is fully back... because I cannot imagine how it would be if i stepped into another hole

Yes. I suspect competing two weeks in a row has been too much for them. It's been a lot of travelling as well - they train in the USA.

Edit: I've watched their programme now. They were really tired. The programme had a lot more energy last week.

Well if you like Jazzy and Kiki why not keep Jazzy and Kiki? It's not like they're going to be mad at you

Your high tax money doesn't get used on paving even sidewalks and stuff? Hmm that is not good

I like Jazzy...kiki doesn't suit Kieran... i think he may get mad at me for real

all is spent on building new bike paths and streaming sports

just a few weeks ago... have a look... you will see how badly the winter kills everything here (when this broke, it created a huge geyser)

Whoops...

Still apparently this chap has only been doing Pairs for 5 months, so full credit to him.

I know, I was literally frightened.

 

[moonvine]

Wow..Is it my sinus blocking my ears or is the sound even more muted/weird?(Thank you Ted and Mark for your steadfast and informative commentary. I believe this is tech problem).

They said it was on purpose, because the rights to the music haven't been acquired, so they are just streaming it from the rink, instead of doing whatever they normally do to clean it up. MUCH better than USA solution.

 

[moonvine]

I disagree with Mark and Ted that the next season is awfully too long to wait for them. 1 year and 4 months might be better entry point into an international competitions when they actually know what they are doing.

It didn't hurt anything.
