2024 U.S. Nationals Senior Pairs Short Program

[Ichatdelune]

It’s certainly a choice to start with your step sequence when you’re kind of slow and labored on your steps…

Exactly my point, I don't get the construction. It's not like the program hugely benefits from it either

Didn’t Spencer & Emily do a Spanish number a couple years ago?

Oh God I'm so nervous.

To be honest, Mokhova/Mokhov are the first team I've ever seen a 3Th< for. Downgrades aren't uncommon (especially with the younger pairs), but underrotations? Big novelty for me

I think a lot of people rely on his practice reports.

yeah but there are many people who could do those
he just notes the jumps and often not even very carefully

 

[moonvine]

Is Danny the cat bald too?

Danny the cat is a long haired orange. I also have Kaitlyn. She's going to be a flame point coloration.

I think it was Nyah then? But don't quote me

I’m starting to wonder if the Mokhovs would be better with other partners. They seem to reflect each others weaknesses on the ice and I sometimes miss their strengths. For them this was a good program but I can’t see them anywhere near top two so far.

I think you are right

The thing is, there are many who could, but very few who actually do People have to take what they can get.

There are people who could do them, but I don't know any others who have access to all the practice sessions. I expect media credentials help a lot.

Cmon Ellie i know you can do these moves.

 

[elektra blue]

well Ellie looks amazing and i'm sure @Ichatdelune is jealous of her bob

 

[Lissy]

The age gap of this team still feels icky.

 

[Lamente Ariane]

A bad day for throw 3Los

 

[elektra blue]

Danny O'Shea is a great lifter

 

[Ichatdelune]

A bit messy for my tastes (I prefer my bobs neat and tidy) but she does look amazing

 

[Jumping_Bean]

A bad day for throw 3Los

Tbh, I was expecting Kam/O'Shea (throws and sbs jumps are not their strong points), but Efimova/Mitrofanov's 3LoTh fall was a surprise to me

 

[Lamente Ariane]

I think they’ve done enough to take the lead (and not just because that’s good for my predictions )
