2026 Worlds Pairs FS PBP - Loathe Story

[Sally1214]

Well, that was a livng nightmare. I feel so sorry for them.

 

[Karen-W]

ChanHowe - SBS 3s+seq - she stepped out, sigh; SBS 2t - deliberate; 3tw - good; throw 3lo - hard fall... Sigh, they'll always have the Olympics; first lift - good; throw 3f - ouch; and they lost the death spiral... Yeah, we're back down to 2 spots next season... combo spin - nice; second lift - good; choreo seq - fine; last lift - beautiful.

Well, that will move VouBou into the top 10. That was really rough, but I honestly wasn't expecting a great FS based upon their lack of focused training since the Olympics & the late notification that they were coming here.

 

[Nadin]

Ouch, those were some hard falls

 

[delayedaxel]

I think I never saw an aborted death spiral

I think I never saw an aborted death spiral

What about the one where Trankov sat down in the middle of it, does that count? (Euros I think).

 

[PRlady]

Ok now that Chan/Howe have indubitably cost the US a spot next year, we can ceremoniously bury the crap the late Shin/Nagy have taken all season long?

 

[Desperado]

It must be so hard to compete at the Olympics and the Worlds a little over a month later.

Especially if you don't particularly like each other.

 

[marbri]

10 point bonus so far to Japanese team for not straining my eyes during their sbs jumps so I could comfortably view them together.

Two things can be true.

It must be so hard to compete at the Olympics and the Worlds a little over a month later.

Especially if you don't particularly like each other.

Or expected to be here so didn't train for it.

 

[JoannaLouise]

Great unison on both sbs jumps for Nagaoka/Moriguchi - it's nice to see, when so many pairs land them in different zip codes and time zones.

Another 10 for her dress.

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

As far as I'm concerned, NagMors are contenders for a medal here.

 

[Reuven]

I think I never saw an aborted death spiral

Years ago, Meno and Sands, Todd lost his toe-pick anchor.

 

[genevieve]

N/M: "they make it look easy" - IDK I was quite surprised that any of those jumps in the combo were landed bc they looked iffy in the air. I think it's just that their jumps aren't totally in synch.

ETA: was it the camera angle? Am I high? Everyone else seems to have seen more unison jumps than I did.

I love their skating tho

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

Naga/Mori are gonna be big stars very soon!

 

[honey]

This program is not doing a heck of a lot for me, but all of the elements are there and strong. They are going to be a force in the coming quad. And a medal is possible today depending on how the next two go.

 

[annie_mg]

How wonderful to see two pairs skaters that have exceptional skating skills as individuals!

 

[marbri]

We are starting to get spoiled with the Japanese pair teams...

 

[Jay42]

So glad to see Nagaoka/Moriguchi do well here! Especially considering they didn't make the FS at the Olympics and they've struggled outside of Asia.

 

[miffy]

N/M are lovely. Not perfect but really good and so much promise.

I don't think they'll be far from the podium if not on it.

 

[Karen-W]

NagaMori - 3tw - decent; SBS 3lo+2a+2a - alrighty then; SBS 3t - fine; first lift - good; throw 3lo - two-footed landing I think; combo spin - alright; throw 3s - two-footed landing again; second lift - pretty good; BODS - nice; last lift - also nice; choreo seq - decent.

Well, they finally have managed to compete well outside of Asia through both phases of a competition. I think that will keep them ahead of EfiMit, depending on if their TES holds after review.

 

[terisa]

I loved that! Gorgeous program, and gorgeous purple and green!

 

[Citlali]

Nagaoka/Moriguchi

Imagine what can they do with an actually GOOD program

 

[Amy L]

This music is snoozy, but otherwise I really like this pair. They will be happy to redeem themselves from the Olympics.

I think whatever skategod curse they acquired in Milan was transferred to Chan/Howe.

 

[her grace]

SUI gets 2 pairs spots

 

[allezfred]

All three Americans pairs below the Japanese number TWO team and deservedly so. Who would have thought that four years ago?

 

[genevieve]

I did not have Japanese dominance on my Future of Pairs Bingo Card

 

[Karen-W]

Nagaoka/Moriguchi

Imagine what can they do with an actually GOOD program

I have little confidence they'll get one now that they're with Savin/Klimov.

 

[fan]

Does anyone know anything about Dimitri Savin’s skating background? I couldn’t find anything. He does great work

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Geeesh even Chelsea and Ryan would’ve blown that out of the water….
