2024 World Championships Pairs Free Skate

I wish I could say I liked this music, but... no. Too wail-y for me. Pity it's not going well though, because I really like Lucrezia and Matteo!

If your landing rate is already less than 20%, overthinking due to a simple entry will not make it worse...

As a former pairs girl, it definitely can

Mixed feelings on that performance. I was hoping they would have a moment like they did at Euros. Good that they persevered after the early mistakes.

She didn't fall on her paws, unfortunately.

Bit of a mixed bag.

My favorite cats is still an exhibition by Kristi Yamaguchi & Rudy Galindo

Got here just in time to watch Hocke/Kunkel - they are just dolls, aren't they? No comment on the skate that followed. Poor kids.

Great !! sync was great and the choreography have a meaning and it talks by itself

 

[Mozartistique]

Mewcrezia and Catteo !
a couple mistakes on the sbs jumps and a freak fall on the transitions. Howether great throw jumps and lifts + a fun program.
Should stay in the top 10 I think.

99% of the time I would agree, but given that Matteo gives zero expression when skating (he has tons of personality off ice) this is the 1% of time where I think this music makes you notice the team when they would otherwise fade into the background.

Exactly

Oh, don't get me wrong, I think it's a good program, and a good program for them. I just personally hate listening to it.

Deanna had a 16 year break from skating where she actually had a real life. Time to recover and heal. Plus she has the mind set of a champion. Quite a difference.

That 16 year break made a huge difference. She didn't have the wear and tear on her body that someone who skated all through those years would have. Seems like there's more potential for wear and tear for a men's pair skater, but I am just making that assumption. Then again, Danny has been remarkably injury-free, it seems to me (but not his former partner). So what do I know... if he wants to continue.

Look, if you don't land your throws with the strategy you are using now, clinging to that strategy because you are afraid that you won't land your throws either using a different strategy is not likely going to lead to results.

Ellie has fallen on all but three triple throws attempts this season, and two of the three throws had negative GOE - Something isn't working, and just keeping on doing the same thing over and over again is clearly not achieving anything.

ugh

 

[saine]

Oh failed lift

 

[4everchan]

Geo fed lady is furious... She keeps looking on the ground and turning away...

 

[bartlebooth]

Missed lift

 

[GGFan]

An aborted lift is so sad--better to fall on a jump. This was not my favorite program but I loved their speed and their twist was next level.
