Pairs Free Program

[Blades of Passion]

That was one of the most awkward things I've ever seen in figure skating with that Israeli team: when he fell out of the side by side spins and had no idea how to get back into it, and just had to stand there and twiddle his thumbs.

Savchenko and Szolkowy at Europeans last year....

Gillespie and Dematte's SBS spins were so off unison, it looked like he was going to finish way before her. I was secretly hoping for another bit of awkward SBS spin action. Alas, Dematte compensated by doing a few more rounds on his upright spin.

Interesting if spectacularly vulgar variation on their pair spin, where Gillespie holds and extends her free leg like one would in a Y-spin while crouching in a sit spin position while facing outward (edited to add that bit because lots of teams do a pair spin with the sitting Y... v position facing inward).

Savchenko and Szolkowy at Europeans last year....

I don't remember what happened

They won the competition over K&S, who skated just about perfect, despite that massive mistake and a mistake on their side-by-side jump as well. :disapp:

I think they should move up. We'll see. I really enjoy their lines- they are really visually pleasing to watch.

the fall on the throw was really hard. I actually really admire how well they did after that happened. Too bad overall.

 

[Mirunna]

Daria looks devastated. Bruno had a nasty reaction right after the program ended

 

[euroskate]

LOL they had a syncro step out of the tripple toe.

this was a really bad fall on the throw. she was really of afterwards. Sad.
