2025 Skate to Milano Pairs Short Program

[Paulipau]

Wow again, shame about the fall but the quality like wow

 

[DemTuppesSeine]

They improved so much.

 

[EdgeCall]

Interesting program, impressively presented, but those mistakes are costly.

 

[FlossieH]

Omg only 3 spots? I thought 5.

So US is pretty done for?

3 spots for pairs.
4 for ice dance.
5 for both singles categories.

Nagaoka's fall was kinda ugly

 

[Ichatdelune]

I was impressed during Kinoshita Trophy and I'm still impressed that their new triple twist is that good

 

[cheerknithanson]

I'm guessing the chances of Shin/Nagy to have the skate of their life and get top 3 in the FP are slim to none.

 

[cocteautwin]

Oh no... that'stough for them. And for me However, thei did some great stuff with lift, steps and spin and their components still should be good so I hope they will be fine.

 

[tsuyoboogie]

Get it in the FS, YunaSumi!


back to Tokyo~

Yuna NAGAOKA / Sumitada MORIGUCHI (JPN)
Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

3Tw3
3Lo Off-axis, hard fall
3STh Two-footed
5RLi4 Great
BiDs3
StSq4
FCCoSp4

Score: 62.68

The pressure got to them a bit, but they've improved a lot, especially since going to Savin. They'll still be in the mix, they just have to keep it together in the Free.

@norwegianfairytale I know it's off-topic but I just have to know: does Milla have Swedish citizenship? I need her to have Swedish citizenship

As far as I know, she doesn´t, but they havn´t spoken about it since Europeans or Worlds I think, were they were working on it but didn´t have a timeline But they started the process around early 24 with moving to Sweden, Milla is paying taxes there and all and I guess language test isn´t going to be a issue for her. So I think she has a chance to get it in time, but I honestly don´t know anything about the process and if Swedish Fed can speed it up. The weird thing about it all is that they made some newspaper interviews early in June about them going to this Qualifier and hoping to go to Milano - but there was nothing about the citizenship issue in the article.

And you're guessing right

Speaking of blitzing practice, last week during archery practice for the 30m I shot an arrow at a new target and hit the EXACT centre.

Could I do this during the actual competition? Nope

Don't Japan have 3 spots for pairs anyway?

And wait Sui and Han? Are they back?

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

Am I the only one who, when Yuna fell, immediately thought that it was punishment for her wearing that dress?

In all seriousness, I feel so sorry for them. Because they should be in contention to go through. But, the mistakes will be costly.

They put on smiles when the camera came to the results area. But, they were disappointed.

Yuna's face dropped even further when the scores were announced. It looked like she was about to burst into tears. The coach beside her realised how upset she was, and immediately put his arm around her and consoled her.



They go into 4th position.

Also, I know this is pairs. But if the standings hold up and Josefin does well enough in the women's event...does Sweden have the potential to make the team event?

 

[norwegianfairytale]

You tell me womns SP is next?

 

[cocteautwin]

Omg only 3 spots? I thought 5.

How about Uzbekistan*? Will they use their spot? I saw a lot of rumours about Geynish/Chigirev split last few days.

*Edited, not Azerbeijan of course

I am praying that it means she's going to get citizenship in time, if the RD placements hold and it turns out she didn't get it in time I will lose it... thanks for the detailed explanation

That's UZB, not AZE

Do they have a man qualified? And a pairs team that is fit to go? The Crafoords were supposed to be here but WD, so what's up with them?
