2025 Grand Prix de France Pairs Short Program

[labgoat]

loved the teams from HUN & CAN

Yay back flip from queen Deanna

I approve the use - it fit the music well

Deanna and Max, what a wonderful skate! I love Deanna's costume so much, the lines and colors just go so well together. Finally I can see the backflip in High Quality

 

[SnowWhite]

Yeah okay, I liked the backflip this time.

 

[bartlebooth]

bibit illum, bibit illa, bibit servum cum ancillam

My idea of a night out

 

[Karoltyna]

Great skate but I really hope pair backflips do not become a thing....

they aren't really pretty and no longer have the riot charms

 

[elektra blue]

also you know Carmina Burana is not from the middleages at all? it's a victorian fake (i can't drink, so i have to crush your dreams)

----

watch your red doors! Riky and Ryuichi are here

 

[ChiGal]

And now we have incorporated the backflip in pairs! The Canadian pair Dudek/Deschamp skated with energy! This program will be wonderful with a bit more time.

 

[labgoat]

Loved the JPN team too. Great pairs event. bye!

I love this program too, it's also very intense but in a different way from what Deanna and Max do. Their twist has improved so much over the past 4 years, and they have so much speed and musicality throughout this program. This program looked so polished, everything was really crisp and it's clear they've already skated it for a season. That quality will push them above Deanna and Max, who just had a few sticky moments with the spin and the throw.

They didn´t paint the score box black or red, all greens

 

[elektra blue]

that was super! one of my favourite programs of the season

 

[EdgeCall]

The Japanese really do not fool around in France. That was boss!

 

[GGFan]

That program just never stops! It is such an impressive feat and I think they're the only team in the world that can pull it off. The speed was off the charts.

 

[Jumping_Bean]

Yep, the veterans showing their brilliance here. Thank you Deanna and Max, and Riku and Ryuichi

 

[Karoltyna]

Uh, wow

 

[fia_nrt]

I usually prefer skaters to have new SP/FS for new season. But with this RikuRyu's SP? I am so happy that they keep this because I love it so much and I get to see more of it, yes!!! Go RikuRyu!!!

 

[cathlen]

Great performances from top 3!

 

[TT_Fin]

I am surprised but that version of paint it black worked.

 

[figureskatingandrainbows]

Gosh when I think about how four years ago Miura/Kihara were these little Japanese upstarts vying for top 10 at Worlds, it's crazy how far they've come in such a short time to become world champions and such strong pairs skaters.

 

[Sabsi]

I love them
