2026 Worlds Pairs FS PBP - Loathe Story

[Karen-W]

ZhaHua - Are we sure she's really old enough to be in seniors? 3tw - so light & airy; SBS 3t+1a+2a - he fell on the 2a; SBS 3s - not sure about the rotations; throw 3f - lovely; first lift - such an interesting & unique entrance! FODS - ugh, please, Pairs Tech remove the catch leg/foot/blade as a feature! second lift - nice; throw 3lo - also quite nice; last lift - solid; choreo seq - decent; combo spin - alright.

The program is just so bland. Sorry, B E N O I T, but this wasn't your best work.

They are nice to look at, it would be nice to see them with more interesting music

 

[annie_mg]

I do appreciate Huang's attention to good posture. You don't see that often in male pairs skaters.

 

[miffy]

Irrelevant thought but the Polish team's bio photo up there is horrible, they look much nicer than that.

 

[Wyliefan]

1a-1a-1a. Whoops.

 

[skatingcheckers]

I hope Camille is OK - it's concerning how she looked in the kiss and cry.

I'm glad this rough year has concluded for them. Hopefully they can leave it behind and rest and renew. Hopefully working with Bruno will make a positive difference for them.

 

[Karen-W]

ChtWoz - 3tw - alright; SBS 3t - fast turn out by her but stayed up; SBS 2a+1a+1a - she singled the first 1a; throw 3f - pitched forward on the landing; first lift - decent; throw 3s - fine; choreo seq - she's smiling now that all the jumping elements are done, lol; FIDS - lovely; second lift - really good; last lift - also quite good; combo spin - decent.

Well, I think this will probably drop behind ZhaHua and VouBou because their PCS shouldn't be enough to make up the difference in TES. That was pleasant enough though.

 

[Desperado]

Ioulia never stopped smiling - loved it.

Their program, not so much.

 

[Karen-W]

Oh, the way they're leaving the ice is very much giving "this is our final curtain call" vibes.

 

[Jay42]

I enjoy Ioulia and Michal a lot but this music is so snoozy

 

[miffy]

The Polish team really milking it makes me think they will retire I've really enjoyed them this season.

They seem so young though.

ETA I can't math. She's 30 not 20. Oops.

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

Someone needs to teach Mark how to say "Laurin" - it's one of the easiest French-Canadian surnames to pronounce.

 

[miffy]

Being pessimistic here I'm expecting Ana & Luke to drop - they'd need a significant PB to beat the current top 2, and there's another 3 strong teams skating before them too. But I hope I'm wrong of course!

 

[miffy]

They seem so young though.

I agree but she's at least 30. I know she could be a Deanna or Zoe

ETA I missed your ETA!

 

[MacMadame]

It posted after your post.

I think she could keep going. She hasn't been injury-prone, has she? But also there's a good chance she doesn't want to.

 

[annie_mg]

Annika Hocke ist the sweetest. She was clapping for everyone, even clapping as she was walking out of the arena for Lauren/Ethier.

 

[Sally1214]

GO, KELLY ANN AND LOUCAS!

 

[miffy]

Oh poor Kelly Ann

 

[Sally1214]

Oh dear, Kelly Ann is really struggling today ...

 

[Elisheba]

Why would you skate to "I'm giving up on you" as a pair team?

 

[Citlali]

Sbs jumps

Also don't use songs that have stumble and fall in the lyrics

 

[JoannaLouise]

Oh no, this is such a rough outing for Kelly-Ann

 

[Colonel Green]

Rough day at the office.

 

[Elisheba]

This program is truly tragic when it doesn't work.

 

[Sally1214]

Why would you skate to "I'm giving up on you" as a pair team?

I was just thinking exactly the same thing. It's especially discouraging when one of the partners is having a bad day. You really have to wonder about the thought processes behind some of these music choices. I'd be like "give your head a shake!"

 

[Firedancer]

Kelly-Ann just seems really off today

 

[delayedaxel]

Why would you skate to "I'm giving up on you" as a pair team?

Well, they're only human after all...

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

The Canadians took the "we skate to the lyrics" a bit too far.

I totally gave up on them and yes, they stumbled and fell.

 

[Karen-W]

LaurEth - 3tw - really nice; SBS 3s - hand down & step out for her; SBS 2a+seq - she fell; first lift - nice; throw 3lo - hand down; second lift - also quite nice; last lift - fine; throw 3z - fall; BODS - decent but marked as Base level; combo spin - okay; choreo seq - eh.

That was a hot mess. Canada definitely isn't getting a 3rd spot back for next season. They may have enough of an SP cushion to stay ahead of IzzoMai and ValBid, but very far off their SB.

ETA - nope. Dang. Behind even HoliDar. Ouch.
