2025 JGP Ankara Pairs Short Program

[flanker]

Paging Radka & Rene STAT!

That was 30 years ago. Once we believed Dušková/Bidař will be worthy successors but they were not at the end. Now Czech pair skating is a mess.

The twist and jump weren't working today for Davison/Borisov, but they give off a maturity on the ice and I appreciate their pair elements. I like this team together.

Mixed bag for Neamh/Daniel. The lift was badly botched and they looked like they kept running after the music, but they show potential. Needs more work.

I can feel you, we had almost 20 dark years of pair skating...

forza Polina e Gabriel!

That was disappointing from Neamh and Daniel. I wonder whether they are getting sports pyschology input to help deal with the competition environment. They are competing as seniors and John Nicks and I'm concerned that they are going to get eaten alive there. They have potential if they can learn to cope in competition and not just practice.

Honestly, the twist looked much better and then he fell after putting her down gently - Might be a first for the man to fall on the twist without her. I think they're just a bit tired from last week, but they're really a promising team. Hopefully, they'll put this behind them and do better at their next event.

Gabriel looks a bit like De Niro...

I have never before seen a SBS jump that actually went perpendicular?!

 

[Karoltyna]

Shine on I feel good - I didn't expect that...

Gabriel looks a bit like De Niro...

Are you talking to me? Are you talking to me?

de Niro could probably jump better than Gabriel did that time early on in the programme.

This music combo does not fit IMO.

 

[EdgeCall]

A little matter-of-factly, but quite decent.

Great 3 throw for Polman/Renoldi! Some messier elements, but overall pretty good skate for them.

Score: 48.74

Polina looks so tall, I wonder what her height is now. Gabriel is a strong guy for sure. They're happy with the score.

 

[Karoltyna]

They need to work on synchro
