2025 CS Nebelhorn Trophy Pairs Short Program

[Ichatdelune]

It's been a while since I've seen the man (also) fall after the throw, I thought with Michael Marinaro retired it wouldn't happen anymore but apparently I was wrong

80s french disco, but they messed up

 

[Budapest2006]

With that score in SP, Danilova/Tsiba could already meet Dutch fed's requirements for Olympics given a decent FS

and we're back to Ireland

Well some mistakes for Megan & Denys but I like the progress that I see. They look so relaxed and comfortable with each other and the elements. Just small mental lapses at the tail end of the elements and a fluke fall by Denis. Keep up what yo are doing because I see progress.

 

[Ichatdelune]

SBS falls, but otherwise mostly strong, especially her landing of the throw

Nice 3throw and lasso lift from Alisa EFIMOVA / Misha MITROFANOV. I love her dress.

something tells me that the music wasn't Reel around the sun

Eternal Eclipse is not new in figure skating but I cannot help but think of my darling at the Beijing Olympics with Cloak & Dagger

Nope. According to their ISU Bio, it was "Cloak And Dagger" by Eternal Eclipse

Powerful skate by Alisa & Misha that suited their intensity. It seemed like they tried so hard to jump in sync with each other that they each messed up their own timing. How about trying this - pick a note in the music to time your takeoffs and just do what you have to do by yourself to get there and it should end up in sync.

 

[Ichatdelune]

Well that was fantastic

 

[elektra blue]

epic Paint it black, epic skate

Wow. Great skate from Riku MIURA / Ryuichi KIHARA. I love them.

 

[Ichatdelune]

Terrific skate aside, look at Kihara Ryuichi smiling like that and tell me they shouldn't skate to a lively, bubbly song, give them for instance Volare and they could fly so far with it (pun intended)

 

[TontoK]

Well that was just outstanding. Really crisp elements, speed, power. I don't care if I've seen it before too much.

And Honorable Mention to Alisa and Misha. That's a pretty good score all things considered. That program has really grown since our first viewing. But... jumps.

 

[Tutto]

I jinxed Misha! I was on and on how reliable he is, never misses a jump... God I never say a word again!!!

 

[labgoat]

Love how Riku & Ryiuchi gave us a controlled intensity with this program. They paced it just right to successfully complete their elements with style & panache. This should help build their confidence and trust in themselves and their program.

I just realised - Riku and Ryuichi's costumes match the lyrics. They are red at the top, and black at the bottom.

Although, if it was me painting the door, I would start painting at the top, and work my way down. Not the other way around, as implied by the costumes.

Well, I suppose they didn't want them to look like "Star Trek" uniforms.
