2024 Finlandia Trophy Pairs SP PBP - I'd Like To Teach the Pairs to Spin, in Perfect Harmony

[Karen-W]

ChanHowe - 3tw- fine; throw 3f - good; SBS 3t - well, she stayed up, but I fear it will be <<; death spiral - very nice; lift - really nice speed & flow; step sequence - they're clearly a step above the teams that have come so far - really nice; SBS spins - Spencer completely biffed the first position and then Emily screwed up hers - no value at all - complete disaster.

 

[MacMadame]

Emily seemed off in those turns. They still managed to get positive GOE though.

 

[tony]

I liked this a whole lot better this week but yeah, the end was a mess.

 

[Spikefan]

Mark’s huge sigh sums up today.

 

[Sally1214]

Oh, Spencer ....WHY?? Yes, I know Emily messed up the sbs jump but I was starting to forget about that and really enjoy the program (sigh).

 

[genevieve]

I can't believe I am going to compliment an Ed fecking Sheeran program, but Chan/Howe are actually listening to and enjoying (how?) their music.

And then of course the universe must balance things out so Spencer biffs the spin in maybe the most awkward way possible

 

[MacMadame]

Does Spenser's left half of his top count as 'not matching illusion' or is it not illusion? Will defer to the sewers of the group

 

[MacMadame]

Frosty coach?

 

[tony]

P/S are so fun outside of the programs, walking around the concourse, chatting when sending them training videos, in their gala, etc.

But this program is just so weird.

 

[TAHbKA]

Pavlova/Sviatchenko were known for having forgettable programmes. So they decided to dirtch the programme altogether and stick to the elements to a random music

 

[Primorskaya]

Did Tom Jones ever wear such a shirt?

 

[MacMadame]

Did Tom Jones ever wear such a shirt?

Probably when he went bowling.

 

[beckab81]

What was that music cut?

 

[once_upon]

This shirt looks like my sister threw all her material scraps and pasted them together

 

[Rukia]

this is the least sexy sex bomb cover

 

[Sally1214]

Oh my goodness .... Clean programs have gone MIA today.

 

[genevieve]

random lady throwing in a bunch of growls but it's still a sad girl cover.

What is with skaters tripping on or out of random things here?

 

[Colonel Green]

LOL, the vibe of this music is so wrong for them.

 

[Aceon6]

People are biffing the stuff they can do blindfolded. Ice too hard for an edge, or too soft for a smooth exit from a turn?

 

[floridaice]

My best friend growing up loved Tom Jones, which wasn't cool as a tween in the 70s. (Her Mother was a fan, so she knew his music.) She was also a BIG Danny Osmond fan. By High School she had better taste, thank god

 

[Rukia]

that long "well...." at the end by Mark says it all lol

they are trying to help the BINGO players

 

[tony]

That SBS spin made me cringe for a split second and I think I heard Mark gasp a bit too. They started off very close as it was and I think he traveled ever so slightly into super dangerous territory.

But yeah, this program is lame.

 

[genevieve]

You know Tom Jones did not consent to that "duet"

 

[Karen-W]

PavSvia - 3tw - nice; SBS 3t - done; throw 3f - fine; lift - seemed slow... @tony - were they particularly slow at SkAm? Death spiral - ??? Step seq - stumbled at the start, the rest was eh; SBS spins - well, she almost biffed it too in the sit position, but overall, this program was really milquetoast.

 

[Coco]

This would not meet the ISI family friend program standard, lol.

 

[once_upon]

Now if anyone needs a porn 'stache and big heavy gold chains, this is it

 

[MacMadame]

"it's not normal" says Mark (about their music)

 

[Primorskaya]

I really had hoped we'd seen the last of these fugly bent-leg death spirals in 2014

No, I didn't think they were slow. I was more shocked at how much fun they were having outside of their run-throughs and how relaxed they looked. They both added me on IG the first day of practices after I tagged some of their clips and they said hi to me throughout the week-- and then they had SO MUCH personality in their gala skate. Wish they'd have competitive programs that show any/all of that.
