2025 JGP Riga Cup Pairs Short Program

[FlossieH]

That was a dynamic programme from Kviderova/Klement

 

[flanker]

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

Maybe that was the idea

Kviderova/Klement. Nice outfits and program. Good skate.

Alzbeta KVIDEROVA / Jindrich KLEMENT (CZE)
Gonna Build a Mountain

2Tw2
2A Nice
2FTh Off-axis, but super strong landing
5RLi3
BiDs2
FCCoSp4
StSq

Score: 48.76

No triples yet, but easy doubles and she has such a strong landing position and overall posture. Very nicely matched, and quite promising.

 

[FlossieH]

I was not expecting them to go into 4th!

Kviderova/Kliment are promising and look great together on the ice. I liked their checquer outfits, they are satisfied with their skate. The score is lower largely because of easier technical content than that of teams above them.

LOL... the tech panel discussions... that's rarely the issue for me, except maybe for dance... but they are trying

Me neither, I was hoping for some insight from the announcers' technical panel feed... *sigh*

The top 3 are tight to each other, but have given themselves a lot of buffer to the next teams.
On the other hand, 4th to 10th are separated by 5-6 points, so there the fight will be close and the Free might bring some changes in rankings.

Whenever I see a promising CZE pairs team, I think about Kovarikova/Novotny I loved these two. (yes, that means i am no longer 25 years old)

I need the French to get back up for my own scoring

They were classically lovely. She was one of the most elegant ladies I've ever seen in pairs.
Loved their classical music choices as well.

Same - It is a tall order but maybe a more familiar program and some frustration will help them fight. We will see what they are made of . I think I like their chances.

I actually did expect them to go pretty high in the "big bulk" of pairs teams, considering how everyone skated today. Before, I probably would not have thought that was likely, but today, it was a bit messy for lots of pairs, and Kviderova/Clement were not very messy.

(Though the SP was luckily overall not scary, which is good.)

I thought they were going to slot in just behind the second US pair and possibly the second Chinese one, rather than just ahead. There's less than a point and half between the three pairs, though. Before I saw them skate, I was expecting a much weaker skate based on their previous scores. They really rose to the occasion.

They were quite new to pairs last season, but this was a big improvement, even taking that into account. Very happy for them
