Nevermind the fall on the first throw~
Fantastic skate for them!
Great job!

 

[YuBluByMe]

Go Japan! The fall on the first throw was unneccesary. I thought she had it. She saved the second with a deeep knee bend. Sbs looked good. The crowd loves them! I’m still trippin’ off the fact that he once placed in the top 10 at Nationals.

Love the costumes and the score is huge.

very competitive score for them. now that they have a triple twist.... wait... my phone is ringing.. oh wait... it was berulava's

so i was saying, now that they have a triple twist, with these SBS jumps, they are dangerous.

Is Luka alright? I worry about the pair guys - that is some high stress placed on their bodies.

all i was thinking is that he seems to have more hair than before... they cut it.. but he is less bald...

 

[labgoat]

I missed Val & Max - looks like we are back to the same level of skating and mistakes from them. Not sure we need three spots...

he is still breathing too hard - please go to medical if you feel any worse

Canada does. but yeah... she just has issues with the jumps like she did before.

Really happy that the coaching change seems to have helped Yunasumi's triple twist a lot..... they may have a chance for that Olympic spot!

That was their first competition since Worlds 2024, I was expecting some bobbles.

 

[4everchan]

sigh at this musical choice for RR... i get it that it's Italy.. but still... meh

I forget do they have to qualify it like our pairs would at the qualifier?

Yep

Yes! Yunasumi competed at Worlds last year but didn't make the FS, hence they need to qualify the spot.
