2024 GPF - Junior Pairs SP

[tony]

Coulon cames straight out of the Chris Knierim and Loucas Ethier school of posture, I see.

Big elements compared to the first two teams, though.

 

[Kateri]

Ha! And we've got Superstar Artist!

Elvis? Or the cursed porcelain doll he's apparently singing to in this version?

 

[Karen-W]

And Romane is lip-synching along to "Jailhouse Rock"! I love her energy! She is such a star-in-the-making!

 

[her grace]

Telemaque/Coulon

High flying throw! Step up in quality on the elements, death spiral looked good!

 

[floridaice]

I have seen Romane & Lewis before -- she is a star in the making.

 

[Rukia]

I liked them! The music was meh but good for them.

 

[Karen-W]

Those Christmas-themed faux glasses she's got on in the KnC are adorable!

Heart Hands too!

 

[Sally1214]

Great job by Romane and Lucas. Slight touch on the huge throw 3sal. Impressive lift. So glad they skated well in their home country. Aww .. they're so happy in the K/C. Good stuff.

 

[Citlali]

Romane has a new fan in me Love her Christmas glasses

 

[Karen-W]

Jazmine Desrochers giving us cutouts on the back of her dress!

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

Well, I technically have far too much work to do but I thought I'd drop in on the second flight.

 

[Karen-W]

I really like Jiaxuan's black dress that ombres into the deep fuchsia color with the silver stoning/crystals. It's quietly elegant.

 

[tony]

Pretty sure I've seen every last person in the audience at least once, because now I'm seeing many of them for a second time and we are in the second group of the first day.

There are only 200 skating fans in the world. The rest were hired for crowd scenes.

 

[Karen-W]

Flores/Wang - that was a crashy 3tw, but a beautiful throw 3s!

 

[quartz]

Horrorcover.

 

[tony]

I just got a glimpse of the ceiling- is France matching the LED lighting up there to the costumes?

Back in the Trophee Lalique days of being in the Palais Omnisports, they used to have a massive panel right behind the kiss and cry, almost up to the ceiling, that changed colors based on the outfits of the skaters on the ice, too.

 

[Rukia]

goe boxes are very christmasy how cheerful

 

[Colonel Green]

How can you put “Carry That Weight” in a pairs program but not play it over the lift?

 

[fan]

Why don’t their costumes match?
She needs to work on her posture. I quite like him

 

[her grace]

Flores/Wang

Looked like she had to grab onto him to secure the landing on the twist, nice throw, solid death spiral and SBS 2a. Not seeing a lot of connection between the two

Matching costumes would help them a lot.

 

[Karen-W]

These SBS spins are atrociously out-of-synch. I feel like this team has plateaued with their potential - she'll be senior age-eligible next season. Wonder if Sianytsia could be persuaded to move to Colorado for a talented potential long-term partnership.

Agreed, he has some wonderful stretch and always seems sure of himself. I could see several times in the program, including smack dab in the middle of the step sequence when they had that pause, where she almost lost it and it showed in her face. Shoulders everywhere, arms reaching awkwardly everywhere.

Still, a well-choreographed program.

And why the hell does it sound like a mouse has made its way to the microphone by the ice?

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

I think "Boy, you gonna carry that weight" is less a horrible Beatles version and more a cry of help from Luke.

Matching costumes would help them a lot.

I think the turquoise and grape compliment each other.

 

[Sally1214]

Commentators are talking about Olivia's smile and it's SO true. The pure joy radiating from her face at the beginning of that program was wonderful. Reminded me of the same joy that radiated from Jason Brown the very first time I ever saw him skate (still does) .... the pure love of the sport. Does a heart good.

 

[Karen-W]

LOL - Amelie soundtrack - check off "Music from a Movie!"

Bandit is harassing me. She's hungry - she just pawed at her food bag. She'll have to wait until this segment is done, and I already told her that but she's been up here once to pester me to my face about her lack of sustenance. Oops.

 

[I Luv Bulldogs]

Don't know, but kinda like it.

 

[Colonel Green]

Jazmine & Kieran probably have the second-best twist of any Canadian pair now, junior or senior.

Throws still need work, but when this team started I thought they had zero potential, and they have improved a ton.
