2025 World Championships Pairs Short Program

[jorge2912]

Japanese perfection !!! More speechless , just perfect , beautiful and their interpretation is lovely.. step sequence and death spiral was incomparable!!!

 

[lileychristie]

Argh I got a phone call so I had to mute my TV while RikuRyu skated.... Looks like they slayed it!! Gotta rewatch with music later

 

[FlossieH]

There’s Alexa! She says she misses skating. Reckon she had time to birth her baby and come back for the Olympics?

I can't see Brandon Frazier wanting to come back. He seems to be very happy with coaching.

 

[yuumagical]

They skated lights out!
I love the lift where Ryuichi kneels!
Their performance gave me all the feels!
They did great, no doubt!

 

[moonvine]

Let’s go Queen Deanna!

 

[jorge2912]

Go Deanna and Maxime !!!!!!!!

 

[Demandred]

The choreo of this year's short is such a great fit for them and they skated the hell of it here, such speed, power and precision. This would be very hard to beat.

 

[Ares]

Deanna & Maxime

 

[readernick]

The Germans can still beat that. But, it will be hard. I can't see the Canadians or the Italians beating that... I could be wrong...

 

[labgoat]

Go Deanna & Max!

 

[lileychristie]

Augh the next skate is the abominable beyonce cover by Deanna & Maxime....... maybe I'll keep my TV muted

 

[moonvine]

I can't see Brandon Frazier wanting to come back. He seems to be very happy with coaching.

He might want an OGM.

 

[labgoat]

I will not let my dislike for the music dim my respect for Deanna & Max.

 

[museksk8r]

No, don’t lose it on the spins! Deanna defied gravity on that throw 3loop!

 

[tinlizzie]

The music went out on Peacock!

 

[readernick]

Quality issues here and the program is just mehh.... Will it be third or fourth? They will probably get the PCS for third?

 

[bartlebooth]

That spin was all over the place, but they showed grit

 

[FlossieH]

Deanna and Max are a great pair, but I think they are going to drop below the Georgians. They aren't normally so out of sync on the spin.

21. Deanna STELLATO-DUDEK / Maxime DESCHAMPS
SP: "Crazy in Love" (remix) by Beyoncé, choreo by Julie Marcotte

3Tw3 (clunky catch)
3T
4Li4
3LoTh (Deanna hangs on)
CCoSp3 (Max bobbles on camel, travels, Deanna travels on change of foot)
StSq4
BoDs3

SP: 67.32 (5th) Q

Deanna and Max have had lots of struggles this season - yes, they've had to deal with the pressure of being World Champions, but Max has also had significant illness and I don't think their material has been the best this season. This was one of their best performances of the season, but the little errors that crept in, along with some small quality things, are going to prevent their score from matching what Riku and Ryuichi just put up. If there is a season to be a bit down, though, I think this is the best season - better to come back with guns blazing again next season for the Olympics.

 

[Ares]

Stellato-Dudek/Deschamps had a couple of small errors today but they still left a very good impression. With those little flaws they are likely gonna be not at the top, only 5th - lower than I thought.
