2025 World Championships Pairs Short Program

[FlossieH]

A fall and a hand down. I think they might still be okay though because their performance was good.

I am with Kirsten about enjoying the cool entry to Ioulia and Michal's group 4 lift.

 

[Dreamer57]

I actually am pleasantly surprised so far! KMT has an easy, natural sounding rapport with Chris, and doesn’t talk too much. I had heard her commentate before and wasn’t impressed, but she’s doing a good job here IMHO

They complement each other quite well. Need some pairs expertise to go alongside Chris and his classic catchphrases!

Loulia and Michal was ok, I missed some details but I'm spite of the 3toeloop problem and the throw 3 flip , they was good and have personality.

 

[labgoat]

More favorites Ana & Hector from down under. We don't get to see them often enough during the season.

 

[Dreamer57]

Go on G/GM!!

 

[FlossieH]

I thought they might be a couple of points higher than that.

 

[saine]

Oh dear, now they're on the bubble for qualifying. Vouillamoz/Bouvart have the Q now.

 

[jorge2912]

Go Anastasia & Hector!!!

 

[bartlebooth]

The Swiss are in!

By the way, with Yuna and Sumitada not qualifying for the Free, it's almost sure that at most 15 of the 16 Olympic spots will be distributed here and more than three will be available at the Olympic qualifying competition in the Autumn (with the Georgians, Hungarians and a number of other countries with solo entries with a shot at the top 10, it's likely to be more).

Also, keep in mind that spots that cannot be used (due to lack of citizenship or no second eligible team) are not redistributed according to the Worlds results but are also added to the pool of Olympic berths at the Qualifying competition.

Was it Lim & Quan who did it first?

10. Anastasia GOLUBEVA / Hektor GIOTOPOULOS MOORE
SP: "Exogenesis: Symphony Pt. 3 (Redemption)" by Muse; "I Won't Stand Down" by Muse, choreo by Jonathan Guerreiro, Igor Tchiniaev

3Tw2 (awkward catch)
3T
3LoTh
4Li4
BoDs3
StSq4
FCCoSp4 (a little out of sync on i-spin but gains it back)

SP: 65.73 (1st) Q PB

Aside from an awkward twist, this was a great skate from Nastya and Hektor - lovely performance and really nice, clean elements. I'm not a huge fan of the music cut, but they did a great job carrying speed and unison throughout their step sequence.

 

[FlossieH]

It is good to see the Australian pair back in form. They had a rough time earlier in the season.

 

[readernick]

Nice jump elements. Improved stepseq...

 

[labgoat]

I thought they might be a couple of points higher than that.

So did I but mistakes are costly

 

[Doggygirl]

Wow I just love this Autralian pair! I just haven't been watching skating at all the last few years and there are so many enjoyable teams I've never watched before! What a treat this is!

 

[nickp91]

Anastasia and Hektor attempting to give me a heart attack with that twist!

 

[Dreamer57]

I love how Stasya and Hektor always give their all in performing the step sequence!! I think they have gained speed too.
Let's get a SB please.
