Worlds 2024 Pairs FS: ‘The wedgie always gets its woman’

[Lara]

I enjoyed the Aussies, good job! Hopefully they’ll work on the twist but lots to like.

 

[JoannaLouise]

I don't get to see the tech tracker in the arena, but that score is lower than I was expecting.

 

[Coco]

Nice choreo for the Aussies.

Apparently the Easter dress is the look for prom this this, so she is quite on trend.

If this is a Derry Girls reference, I approve

 

[Karen-W]

I feel like the FSU demographic will get me when I say the Aussies' costumes look like '90s Simplicity pattern covers.

nobody did fashion like Simplicity in the 90s tho

(add 2 yards for ruffle option)

Excuse me - the ruffle option was New Look!

I know, I know, they got taken over by Simplicity at the tail end of the '90s, lol.

Season Best:
Current Rank: 12
Music: Exogenesis: Symphony, Pt. 3 (Redemption) by Muse
Coach: Alexei Letov

2023 & 2022 Four Continents silver medalists. 2023 National silver medalists. Missed the first half of the 2023/24 season as he recovered from a torn labrum in his shoulder and his surgery in May 2023. They withdrew following the SP at the 2023 NCh sitting in first place to continue his recovery.

I do like the Aussies, but she has this look like little animated talking birds do her hair every morning OR she should be running down a dark hallway in a dark castle wearing a white gauzy dressing gown.

 

[skatfan]

How did that end up behind the Canadians?

 

[Sally1214]

Just a LOVELY skate for Anastasia and Hektor. They have to be happy with that. Little hiccups here and there but, overall, very enjoyable to watch.

 

[MacMadame]

I finally watched Umbrella’s for the first time a few weeks ago. I actually thought lyrics were added to the instrumental. Now that I know this is not the case I like this more. She doesn’t emote enough for it but still nice.

I just got done looking up the costumes for that movie and there is one still where there are umbrellas that look just like her dress and he does wear a brown jacket over a shirt that color.

I still find their costumes to be not good.

 

[airgelaal]

Muse. Is this the first time since the beginning of the championship?

This is a bad thing in skating? Non...

 

[Aussie Willy]

I agree about the twist. They need to focus on that during the off season.

 

[Allen]

It's weird to see someone not from the United Kingdom skating to Exogensis lol

 

[airgelaal]

It's Canada

 

[Wyliefan]

I'm really tired tonight and my thought process is going something like "Is this the U.S. pairs woman who can't land throws ... or the one who can't land jumps ... oh no wait, this is the one who's supposed to be able to land both."

 

[Sally1214]

Oh, Emily .....

 

[Rukia]

I want to say they just need more competition time but honestly she wasn't the best at jumps and throws anyway

 

[floridaice]

I hope Emily & Spencer keep this program next year. As much as I dislike the music, it could be wonderful with more mileage and recovery time for Spencer.

"supposed to"

You're joking, right? I don't think there's a country that HASN'T used it a few times.

 

[Baby Yoda On Skates]

Are you OK @Karen-W ?

 

[sk8nlizard]

I want to know why all these lifts are at the end when Spencer has a hurt shoulder and they haven’t competed a long all season????

 

[MacMadame]

You're joking, right? I don't think there's a country that HASN'T used it a few times.

All the boys use it these days.

 

[slicekw]

The beauty and quality of Chan/Howe shows through, even with the errors in this performance. I’m hopeful for next season.

 

[Private Citizen]

Not sure if skate order will help them, but TBH I think Plazas and Fernandez were better than Chan and Howe.

 

[tony]

I didn't think it was terrible considering the music choice.

 

[peibeck]

WELP!!!

 

[pat c]

Did you know that muse rhymes with snooze? that just came to me as I was watching this program. C&H

 

[sk8nlizard]

I agree with this. Everyone acts like she’s the beacon of consistency in US Pairs and I’m wondering if I’m the one losing it?!?!

 

[Baby Yoda On Skates]

I'll take Exogenesis over Ghost any day.
