2023 Skate America Pairs FS - The Fellow Throws of Texas

[Wyliefan]

Isabelle's facial expression on that lift is beyond words. A combination of "WHEEEE!" and "YIIIIIKES!"

 

[just tuned in]

Isabelle Martins is very Mariah Bell/Kimmie Meisner. Chelsea Liu is giving me Caitlin Yankowskas.

Any pairs team that isn’t doing a major lift on the line “the major lift” during Hallelujah should suffer a mandatory -5 deduction.

 

[ilovesalchows]

Pretty feature in the pair spin.

 

[BrightSkates]

I am so so so so glad they replaced whatever drama H/N would produce.
M/B are the future ️

 

[peibeck]

Isabelle flies like a Chinese pair girl on that throw 3s!

 

[tony]

A feel-good team, looking like they are having so much fun in both programs. Foundations have definitely been built up in the years they were together, and more time back is surely going to give them improvements.

10x better than Plazas and Fernandez, not even a little bit of a stretch.

 

[Vagabond]

If I never have to hear these lyrics again at a skating competition, I will say, "Hallelujah."

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Oh the natalia M spin

later done by Kyoko

 

[Aceon6]

This is a loooooooooong program.
He’s feeling it, too, with the whoopsie on the lift.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Maybe they can get a second spot on the Grand Prix

 

[VGThuy]

Are they new to pair skating?

 

[Colonel Green]

Thank God he caught her there.

 

[honey]

I hope she really loves skating as much as it looks like she does.

 

[Wyliefan]

Hard setdown on that last lift. Please, coaches, help them get more secure in their lifts. Every one of them scared me half to death.

 

[tony]

What is going on with ALL OF THESE LIFTS.

It's the person screaming. Please just remove her from the audience.

 

[Flip Jump]

Isabelle has the same joy she had when they won their 2016 US Juvenile title! Glad they are back together

 

[Primorskaya]

A Mishkutionok/Dmitriev spin. Daring.

They're very Love's Young Dream, those two, which is usually not my bag, but they are sweet and have flow.

Oh Hell another close shave on the lift

 

[Frau Muller]

HALLELUJAH! It’s over!

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

I see total confidence in him, but I see her being a bit nervous, oh my gosh almost another drop again

 

[~tapdancer~]

Isabelle has a lovely smile.

 

[peibeck]

Okay their last lift took 4 years off my life.

 

[ilovesalchows]

I think she’s fine. His feet in the lifts are notso hotso

 

[Karen-W]

Some nice elements from Martins/Bedard, but clearly nerves got the better of them. Still top 5 finish at their first GP is nothing to sneeze at.

 

[Colonel Green]

Are they new to pair skating?

No, they were a successful junior team, though they didn't compete last season.

 

[Rukia]

M/b she has a pageant smile the whole time. Lifts were not very fun to watch because i was scared.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

I don’t think I can watch any more of Pairs today, oh my gosh has everyone been collided with or dropped?

 

[VGThuy]

How big are the ice rinks at US training centers? Do they tend to be NHL-size like most arenas are in the US or are they Olympic-sized?

 

[skatingguy]

Some good things in there, but a lot of work to be done by this new to senior team to smooth out all the movements particularly in a program like this.

102.07 = 2nd Place
154.66 = 2nd Place

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Are they new to pair skating?

They skated a long time together as kids, broke up and got back together this year
