Or with each other.

That too!

 

[Wyliefan]

The twist looked like a beauty? Ted, are you high?

 

[Karen-W]

AK/LL (not typing out their full double-barrelled last names) - oh, that's right this is the program with the costumes that are incongruous with the music - an emo cover of a great song before it transitions into the original for the last min. Hmph.

Really crashy 3tw and he barely kept her from falling. Good SBS 2a, okay lift, nice throw 3lo! Spins not in synch, and they should skate to the original for the whole program - energy level is so much better. Nice death spiral to end.

These two look like they’re 40 after all the kiddos.

 

[Karen-W]

MetBeru - good 3tw, SBS 2a - smooth, beautiful throw 3lo, excellent lift! Really good unison on the SBS spins until the last position. Overall, despite the absolutely trash "Summertime" cover this was a great program!

 

[Rukia]

idk I just can't get into this team

Triple Twist 4
2A

A wonderful example of skating high quality to trashy program, and horrible cover of a questionable song.

Q 71.53 = 1st Place

Hey, have a little respect for Mom and Dad.

Georgians were excellent, will be tough to beat that. Great performance. Are they doing senior worlds as well?

I thought Ted said the triple twist in the “air” was a beauty? Although he isn’t alway the sharpest lol.

Not eligible for either?

 

[Wyliefan]

That tracker looks like Mack took his knife to it.

 

[Karen-W]

Ackermann/Harms - crashy 3tw, okay throw 2lo, another slow-ish but decent lift. They're getting a bunch of red blobs for meh quality elements. They might get the Hungarians into the FS.

Triple Twist 2
Throw 2Lo
Hand/Hip Lift 4
Forward Inside Death Spiral 3 (B after review)
2Lz
Change Foot Combo Spin 3 (2V after review)
Step Sequence 2 (3 after review)

That was a bit rough - not the quality we've seen with almost any other team so far in this event. The Georgians were trashy, but this was just boring.

Q 41.97 = 13th Place

 

[Karen-W]

Georgians were excellent, will be tough to beat that. Great performance. Are they doing senior worlds as well?

I thought Ted said the triple twist in the “air” was a beauty? Although he isn’t alway the sharpest lol.

Yes, they're going to Montreal.

 

[skatingguy]

Not eligible for either?

No - they are only eligible this season for Junior because they competed last season, and were given an exemption because he's too old for junior.

 

[Karen-W]

No - they are only eligible this season for Junior because of they competed last season, and were given an exemption because he's too old for junior.

Well, we have yet to see what the age proposal will be for raising the age max for junior pairs and dance men, so while they aren't currently eligible they could be by the end of the ISU Congress.

[Karen-W]

And the Hungarians qualify for the FS!

 

[Amy L]

HUN gets in, good for them, they were quite promising despite being brand new.

 

[skatingguy]

Well, we have yet to see what the age proposal will be for raising the age max for junior pairs and dance men, so while they aren't currently eligible they could be by the end of the ISU Congress.

Yes, this is all based on the current rules.

 

[Amy L]

Violetta has been growing like crazy all season, she's become a stunning looking woman but that her injuries aren't bothering her too much.

Daily Gratitude Journal, February 27, 2024:

Once again, I am grateful that I do not eat or drink while reading posts on FSU.

 

[Karen-W]

Ehrhard/Pellegris - bit crashy on the 3tw, okay SBS 2a, nice throw 2lo! Good lift! Good step sequence, but this team is boring AF - show some voidy French personality!
