2025 World Championships Pairs Short Program

[saine]

Oh, did the Georgians change their costume? Or their entire program?

They used to have 70s aerobic costumes before right?

They went back to their short from last season.

It is last year's program and costumes. They did ditch the 70s costumes

Yes! This must be their old “senior” short program; from last season, right?

Oopsies

I liked the previous costumes and music much better than this. Obviously, the best elements outside of the death spiral. Great elements... the program is meh...

I am really not a fan that they went back to this program - I preferred their other short over this one by far, I just don't think it shows them off well at all and feels a bit juniorish whereas the other one was more fun without being youthful. The other program also had more transitions and a better-choreographed step sequence in my opinion. Their elements are gorgeous, though, and they carry such speed across the ice with everything they do. I just think they may have scored higher in PCS and in the steps if they went with their other program, which would have made up for the death spiral bobble.

Looks like Hawaiian costumes

These ones look just as tasteful.
Great skate except the spiral!

One fun element after another from Anastasiia and Luka aside from wonky death spiral.

You read my mind, was meh their SP , maybe too much perfection is no inspiring sometimes

Oh I love GEO lady coach's coat!

 

[Ares]

Georgians were in a class of their own thus far. Some elements were stunning, the only mistake was a wobble towards the end of their death spiral.

 

[labgoat]

Kristin has excellent observations about the lack of movements leading into the elements in this program. I thought that you needed to keep a pivot position, but I guess the judges decided otherwise.

 

[readernick]

Oh, I like the georgian ladies glasses. New look for her. Very nice.

 

[lileychristie]

LOL the glasses of the Georgian lady

71!? Not sure I agree the score being that faaar away from the Australians.... their death spiral wasn't good at all, it should've received negative GOE.

 

[moonvine]

Gotta watch through fingers.

 

[yuumagical]

They look like they're at the pool
But they're on solid ice
Their twist seemed nice
How did they keep their cool?

 

[Karoltyna]

I'm still here. I see their tech but I don't like their skating

 

[lileychristie]

WTF is it just me or there's a random background music on top of Ellie & Dany's music!?

 

[jorge2912]

Go Ellie and Dany!!!
