2025 Skate America Pairs Free Skate

[auser]

Nice lasso lift from Valentina PLAZAS / Maximiliano FERNANDEZ. Hope they will become more consistent on other elements.

Johnny and Tara were commenting on the inconsistency with all the US pairs teams. I hope our teams are able to get the consistency they need.

Loucas Ethier and Niccolo Macci sort of look alike...

 

[lileychristie]

I thought Loucas Ethier was Niccolo Macci just now

I've been hoping for that for the whole quad...

Flores/Wang had low levels on many elements.

I'll keep hoping for Val and Max.

Lovely to see Val and Max's lifts! I enjoy them very much. Wish Val would always wear her beautiful colored dresses.

Go Emily and Spencer!

A program ending with a happy Kelly-Ann is a good program

[cathlen]

That was really nice!

Kelly Ann has the quality that the American girls need - the ability to land her jumps.
Great job for this team. Lovely skate to music that suits their journey this year.

 

[auser]

Aww. Kelly Ann celebrating after their good skate. So happy for them.

yayyyyy that's a PB for them in the free and overall by 4 points! A really good way to end their GP season!

This was a really strong skate from Kelly Ann and Loucas, their lifts looked very confident and they landed all of their jumping elements and throws. They've got lots of nice performance moments and are working to add in some more transitions. Their next big step will be improving their speed, they're definitely a lot slower than the top teams here, which will transition into improved GOEs. Kelly Ann has strapping on her left knee, hopefully she's okay. If she's injured, she didn't show it whatsoever in the program.

Very strong! Happy skaters!
