2024 JGP Solidarity Cup Pairs SP

good luck and remember, your cellar is too crowded, no new addctions

My tree-house is definitely too crowded! And there are getting to be too many Junior skaters there for my liking. (Is it any wonder?! It's getting more and more difficult to watch Senior competitions! I'm getting to the stage that I know the Juniors better than the Seniors! )

Yet, despite this, I am considering adopting another Junior skater that I took a liking to a couple of years ago. Even though I know that I will be the only poster, because she is not one of the top skaters by any means.

Her only Junior GP of the season isn't until the last round, so I've two more weeks to dither before making a final decision.

I think we should be nice at first, so that we coax her into thinking that Beelzebub's skating is of her own initiative, and then we can hoodwink her into making Pazuzu skate without effort

you...evil genious...and that's why you're my agent

he was a dancer and as Mark said she just switched from singles

Mark said it seconds after I clicked post!

Ines & Alejandro are a charming young team skating classically, neat and well matched. Their skating is small, but so are they. I thought they had very nice presentation.

I just love the expression on Reagan's face -she just beams while skating.

Is it just me, or are there more skaters in recent years coming out of Singles that are trying their hand at both Ice Dance and Pairs Skating, before deciding which to go for?

It didn't seem to happen that often in the past.

Oh, that is so scary! Hope they will be okay.

Ouch! Weird fall on the lift.

On second thought, it looked somehow ... elegant?

 

[elektra blue]

poor kids, that was a disaster

 

[FlossieH]

I think there's maybe some nerves around among the skaters who have a chance of getting into the GPF with a third place finish... I thought for a moment that they were both going to go down at the end of the twist.

At your service

Great jumps, scary catch on the twist. Nice lines. A bit bent over on throw, but landed with touchdown. That was a rough skate for them today.

Right, pair lift falls are scary, but at the same time this was one of least scary ones I've ever seen.

This pair will have better days.
Mama said they'll be days like this...
Well that goofs my predictions

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

Well done to Jakub for managing to fall out of Reagan's way.

It was scary enough as it was, but it could have been so much worse.

They go into 6th position.

I think it was because he rolled off of her, as if he was using a judo landing technique. Looks much safer.

Who had the Polish team in the mix. Another power team in the making.

Exactly, a judo roll was what came to my mind too. He managed that quite well.

probably no one

She used to skate with Michał Woźniak, but her level was too junior for him.
