2025 Skate Canada Pairs SP PBP - Carmina BOO-rana

[shan]

Hated the music, but gorgeous skating and good choreography from Lia and Trennt!

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

This dress is amazing, in fact, I wish the skirt was longer, I love longer dresses on female costumes.

 

[shan]

at the landing on Kam/O'shea's throw 3. That looked painful.

Glad they landed the sbs 3's. Hope hers was rotated.

 

[Desperado]

K/O'S

They could be skating to anything, a waste of K.D.

 

[tony]

Another solid choreographed program, same old of what I expect by now but still really nice. Best skating skills so far, jumps still MIA and he was tight on the Salchow too.

Stumble that kinda made her stick in her tracks for a second right before the lift but nothing in an element.

 

[Braulio]

I used to like this song when it burst into skating but now I don't enjoy it that much

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Right now I’m kind of feeling Emily and Spencer and Chelsea and Ryan for the Olys

 

[beckab81]

It should be a requirement before being allowed to skate to Halleluiah that you have to read the lyrics with no music playing. This is NOT a happy song.

 

[just tuned in]

This skating did not go with the music. They could have been skating to anything (except this version of Hallelujah). If Ellie is not landing the throw consistently, it is a mistake to put the SBS spins right after.

 

[Kateri]

Ellie is an adorable sprite, and he can pick her up and put her down, but the minute he lets go of her, bad things start happening.

 

[her grace]

K/O

The usual on SBS jumps (short) and throw (step out) off sync in SBS spins, odd little stumbles, just not good

 

[skatingguy]

Ellie Kam/Danny O’Shea
Coach: Drew Meekins, Sandy Straub, Bruno Marcotte
Music: Hallelujah by K.D. Lang

Triple Twist 4
3S< - Ellie under-rotated, both with a bit of turn out
Throw 3Lo - awkward landing, step out
Change Foot Combo Spin 4
Step Sequence 3
Axel Lasso Lift 4
Back Inside Death Spiral 3 (4 after review)

Ouch for her ankle on that throw landing. Trying to buy favour with a Canadian audience by using a Canadian song sung by the legendary KD Lang, but it's not going to work . . . or maybe it will with the lift set to that musical highlight - chills.

65.48 = 2nd Place

 

[PRlady]

Sure hope Efimova gets her citizenship.

 

[Karen-W]

KamO - 3tw - alright; SBS 3s - she stayed upright, but I can't see her getting it called clean; throw 3lo - awkward landing where she bent her leg badly & stepped out; SBS spins - meh; step seq - nice enough; lift - good; BIDS - nice.

Wow - they really are leaving the door wide open for any other US team to skate through and onto the Oly team, aren't they? That was not good.

 

[peibeck]

Kam/O'Shea would have made a better dance than pair team. Lovely lines and unison, but the jumps and throws just are never going to be there, I feel.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

I used to like this song when it burst into skating but now I don't enjoy it that much

Agreed, like, when anything has a moment in figure skating it has to become a war horse.

 

[Citlali]

Ellie and her nemesis the throw

 

[Kateri]

I used to like this song when it burst into skating but now I don't enjoy it that much

Pity me, than, 'cause I never liked it!

(love the song, hate the version)

 

[LilJen]

Glad they landed the sbs 3's. Hope hers was rotated.

Yeah, I hope her ankle is okay.

 

[Aaron MB Fan]

Danny and Ellie got called over for their flower crowns from a fan, and then I realized the person who shouted out for them (not the one who gave the crowns) is the infamous lady who insulted Kaitlin Hawayek. Back in the front row of another GP.

 

[Elisheba]

I would have that below the Swiss

 

[ChillSkate]

I'm glad Kam & O'Shea are doing a simpler entry into their throw jump though it didn't really seem to help here

 

[Karen-W]

Right now I’m kind of feeling Emily and Spencer and Chelsea and Ryan Val & Max for the Olys

fixed that for you!

 

[Braulio]

Drew Meekins has something I like, don't know, maybe the nerd look

 

[shan]

This SP is flying by. Just 2 pairs to go??? Wow!

 

[Rukia]

See’s is extremely popular in Los Angeles.

It was also very popular when i lived in Hawaii lol I had never heard of it before then but now I have to buy it for basically every holiday

 

[floridaice]

K/O'S

They could be skating to anything, a waste of K.D.

At least they are using K.D. and not some of the other versions out there.

 

[Braulio]

Throw 3 loop a cracker!

 

[tony]

So this deduction for time with Pereira/Michaud - could it be that he dropped her out of the final position and just covered it well? It looked really sloppy but that's the only thing I can figure happened, which (would have) made them go over.

 

[JoannaLouise]

I obviously did not pay much attention to Max's costume at their first GP, but it looks like he's celebrating the season by wearing something that he bought at Spirit Halloween and then embellished with KMT's bedazzler.
