Skate Canada 2023 Pairs FS - Rats, The Musical

[Wyliefan]

That's a nice program. Hope they can get it cleaned up and have a stronger skate next time.

3Tw 2 - she landed on his shoulder
3T+3T+COMBO - he's struggled in practice with the jumps earlier today

Back Outside Death Sp 3
Pair Combo Spin 4
5 Axel Lasso Lift 3
Throw 3Lo - step out
5 Rev Lasso Lift 4

Choreo Sequence

Looks like they will slip off the podium. Too many mistakes on the elements, particularly his jumps. The program has some real potential if they can nail the elements later in the season.

116.81 = 2nd Place
179.61 = 2nd Place

His 3T wasn't all the way around but I feel like pairs hardly ever get called for that.

 

[Vagabond]

I'm not sure that particular meme works with a direct translation.

I was just taking the opportunity to test it out.

The program was actually watchable.

 

[Frau Muller]

Australian team skates a stunning program to Umbrellas of Cherbourg. Lots of emotion and class, despite some tech errors.

 

[genevieve]

I still think they are fancy cupcakes or maybe sherbet.

I wish I had cupcakes and/or ice cream. Wuzrobbed

 

[Matryeshka]

The more I see her costume the worse it gets. I mean, it looks like something Justice rejected.

 

[Aceon6]

So the Rungarians are guaranteed a podium spot.

 

[Sylvia]

I liked Umbrellas of Cherbourg a lot better before lyrics were allowed.

At least it’s the original soundtrack (Katia Gordeeva used this duet for one of her pro programs - one of my faves).

 

[genevieve]

Oh bless her hair makes kitty ears

 

[floridaice]

What we've all been waiting for!!

 

[thvu]

I have not seen this program yet and I'm so scared already.

 

[Sally1214]

Well, there goes the bronze. Anastasia did her part (mostly ... except for one throw stumble) but Hektor, like a lot of the other pairs men we're seeing tonight, needs to put in a few more hours of work on the sbs jumps. Overall, not that bad.

 

[tony]

Oh bless her hair makes kitty ears

Don't tell Karen.

 

[peibeck]

Cats are coming up, you never know.

I have faith in the long and impressive resume.

 

[overedge]

Please, Kirsten and Ted, not the Scott Hamilton-style constipated UHHHHs.

 

[Matryeshka]

I have my wine ready just for this.

 

[Rukia]

i got pawed by a cat during a Cats tour and I'm having flashbacks now

 

[thvu]

I just can't with all this catography.

 

[floridaice]

Whoever designed these costumes do not know anything about cat fur colors & patterns

 

[bouncingpom]

They need tails

 

[quartz]

These cat costumes are freakin’ puuurfect.

 

[Colonel Green]

Italians trying to harness the ascendant power of Taylor.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

I wish Macavity weren't here.

 

[Wyliefan]

She's really committing to the cat thing, bless her. He's just like "Okay, whatevs."

 

[overedge]

RRROWWW

Is this the version from the shite movie of Cats?

 

[genevieve]

Where was this batshittery in the free dance?

I don’t care about teknik this is

 

[tony]

I mean really how do you get this program out of all the possible choices? Their SP was so nice.

He looks so disinterested.

 

[Amy L]

I'm not crazy about the daddy/daughter teams in pairs, but at least they aren't going for generic romance or anything. Cats certainly ages him down, but it sure as hell doesn't age her up either.

My TV is on mute. Seriously. Can't deal.

 

[JoannaLouise]

I don't hate this. I'm not sure what that says about me.
