2024 GPF - Junior Pairs FS

[Karen-W]

I need either a fist pump or Korean hair bling for bingo. Alas, this group did not bring the bling.

I'm getting closer... I now need just one of the following:

gymnastics on ice
nude gloves
lip-synching
jarring music cuts
costume change

If Olivia & Luke are having a good skate, I think I may get lip-synching, lol.

 

[Private Citizen]

Canadian girl struggling with 2A in warmup and falling on the throw.

Flores and Wang did both throws cleanly and the SBS jumps separately. Luke applauded Isabella’s 3S. I’m glad they have Miskutenok as a coach. Flores has a similar body type.

Chinese team looking good with senior level content.

 

[Hedwig]

at least me did not know about Sui before! (too little time too much skating news).

Wow!

 

[Karen-W]

Is that blue-haired, kimono woman the US stalker?

 

[JoannaLouise]

A fall on a non-element would also get me bingo now, but I'm kind of hoping we don't get that one!

Is that blue-haired, kimono woman the US stalker?

No

Pretty sure you mean Olivia. It would be a trick and a half for Isabella to skate junior pairs, lol.

No

I would’ve had that first jumping pass in the green, not the red

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

I always marvelled at the craftmanship of fs costume designers: it is really hard to make two professional athletes look chubby.

Was very meh in the short with them but Disney just does it for me. Risky to put the throw so late and good choreo throughout!

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

Flores/Wang decided they want a medal. Gpod for them.

That opening pose was laughably on the nose though.

 

[Rukia]

well they did live laugh luke their way through that

 

[Karen-W]

Olivia's wide smile almost feels like it's masking absolute fear through this entire program, lol.

And, dammit! No lip-synching to "Circle of Life" at the end there?!

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

NATALIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Omg. I was thinking the exact same thing, especially on the lifts.

 

[her grace]

Flores/Wang

Some wild-looking 1as in that sequence; skating through a lot of the music, nice transition into throw 3s, ending strong with the final burst of Circle of Life

 

[Private Citizen]

Olivia (sorry!) Flores and Wang getting it done with just a mistake on the 2A sequence and the death spiral. I like this program but it can seem sloppy at times and verging on out of control. The lifts seem a bit labored.

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

Wow, it's Christmas, and the judges are showering Flores/Want with presents

 

[Karen-W]

That is the best they've skated this program all season, but I liked their "Star Wars" FS last season better.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Natalia is an absolute treasure.

 

[tony]

Luke sweats as much as Josee Chouinard used to. Holy.

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

Are Derochers and Thrasher anagrams?

 

[PRlady]

The Canadians really look like ringers as Juniors.

 

[Karen-W]

Eeesh... That was an ugly split fall on the throw 3lo!

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

I find this music very hard to get into

 

[Karen-W]

The Canadians really look like ringers as Juniors.

Yes and no? Their tech content still has a ways to go to be senior competitive.

 

[Rukia]

oof these throws

 

[tony]

This music and program screams Julie Marcotte, don’t even have to look and I just know I’m right.

 

[Karen-W]

oof these throws

No kidding! Both of those falls were just ugly and painful looking.
