2025 JGP Riga Cup Pairs Short Program

[cocteautwin]

Ava nailed that throw beautifully, well done! They've been skating to Succesion forever but I like this program and she actually looks a bit like little Shiv.

Good skate from Kemp and Elizarov. Just a bit of tidying up needed. Some levels which could be improved as well. A lot of skaters would have gone down with the jump landing Johnathan had.

And another clean SP for them. Love these two, and great that they are really BACK now. They'll want to get the death spiral level up over the course of the season, though.

Ava/Yoni. Nice outfits and program. Good skate and a really good step sequence.

 

[Ares]

Kemp/Elizarov had a very good skate, they go into the lead.

messy little baozi

Chen & Dong really are a 11/2 pair still. They are both very charming.
Until they are better matched I think they will continue to have unison problems.

I miss Yoni !!! damn it.. i will try to rewind this stream.

 

[Ares]

Chen & Dong have a massive difference in height wow. I think she's though yet to experience a growth spurt. It's like ... she's too tiny for him now, you'd think it cannot be a thing in pairs but I think it it somewhat of a problem in some elements and even when for transitions.

 

[FlossieH]

They are less experienced, but you can see Chen/Dong have a lot of potential.

 

[yuumagical]

Several mistakes, but still a lot of potential there

 

[Jeanie19]

Chen & Dong. Nice outfits and program. A few mistakes but still a promising team.

Very new pair and she's even newer to pairs. With them, their height difference is almost enough to potentially hinder them more than help, he has to bend down a lot for some of these elements. Her dress is very cute and he treats her very sweetly. It's almost giving more of a big brother-little sister dynamic, despite them not being much further apart in age (8 months more) than the other Chinese pair here.

Back for Czech pair.

The costumes for the CZE team do not match their music.

 

[elektra blue]

i'm looking for something to say but i can't take my eyes of of that tie so i can't really think of anything else

 

[4everchan]

oh guys.. it's so good to be back and the first thing I watch is Ava and Yoni (my favourite pairs team junior and senior... yes... that's what happens to me... Sorry Max) skate a clean program. WOOT

I am not working anymore today until much later so I have a few hours of JGP viewing ahead

 

[elektra blue]

The costumes for the CZE team do not match their music.

they match the mess in my head though...

 

[flanker]

Not bad execution but our skaters always aim only at very low tech level and then they need to be clean.

The tie is the best part of the costume. The race car pattern on her confuses me. Their elements are quite solid for a team of similar height.; Good job for them. I look forward to see their freeskate.
