2025 Cup of China Pairs Free PBP - I'd Do Anything For Points (But Am Wont To Splat)

[Citlali]

Zhang and Huang throws

I hope they keep improving

 

[Sally1214]

maybe the Chinese Fed told them they better not do that well because Sui & Han are the chosen ones.

Oh, do you really think so?

 

[my little pony]

I'm going to start ubering the baby chinese on a trial basis

Go for it!

 

[Spikefan]

were they too far ahead of the music?

I think so, I don’t remember it being that long at the qualifier.

 

[tony]

Oh, do you really think so?

no

 

[terisa]

And the power just went out in my crap hotel... good thing I'm checking out today and moving to my aunt's house.

 

[Sally1214]

Chris and all his talk about "quite a lead" and "pretty substantial" lead and "not sure they're going to need it" ..... I mean, it's less than 4.5 points, right? It's probably enough and they will probably skate well enough to win ... but ice is slippery.

 

[Sally1214]

I'm liking the colour of Anastasiia and Luka's costumes.

Out damned jumps says Lady Mcbe(a)th.

 

[Spikefan]

We lost Lady Macbeth, can we get her back.

 

[Lilia A]

Aborted spin, ouch

 

[skategal]

Rough day for McBeath/Parkman

She's currently wandering around a castle trying to wash blood off of her hands.

 

[peibeck]

Sigh, woke up in time to see McBeath/Parkman have that rough skate. Great lift to end, but ouch....

 

[tony]

If onlyyyyy they had been sent to the Olympic qualifier. Kidding, but goes to show one really strong performance means nothing.

This should be last in the LP and last overall. Not much else to say.

Katie McBeath/Daniil Parkman
Rank after SP: 4
Coach: J. Meno, T. Sand, B. Frazier
Music: Caruso

Triple Twist 3
3T - Katie with a 3-turn
2S+REP - Katie made a mess of that, fall
Throw 3Lo - deep knee landing
Axel Lasso Lift 3
Back Outside Death Spiral 2
Pair Combo Spin - loss of balance during entry, no level awarded
Throw 3F
Reverse Lasso Lift 3
Choreo Sequence
Hand-to-Hip Lift 2 (3 after review)

Just a struggle to get through this program - back-to-back weeks coming back to bite them.

-1.00 = Falls
112.52 = 4th Place
181.70 = 4th Place

 

[genevieve]

ooof that was just labored from the beginning. I'm glad she survived the lifts, they were not confidence-inspiring

 

[beckab81]

Can’t decide if it’s the program itself that’s an issue, or if they just are inconsistent skaters who can’t make it thru a long program.

 

[Sally1214]

Well, that was a skate that they will try to wipe from their memories as quickly as possible. It's a shame but they'll just pick themselves up and skate on with a much better performance next time.

 

[Sally1214]

Didn't Jenni Meno used to be a redhead ... or am I just dreaming?

 

[genevieve]

Katie looks like she's waiting for her prison sentence, snaps into a pretty smile for the camera, and goes right back to pure dread

 

[peibeck]

Rough day for McBeath/Parkman

And in a completely unrelated comparison, I'm sure some poster here will find yet another reason to complain about Shin/Navy not getting a 3rd spot for American pairs in Milan.

 

[Lilia A]

I thought he was going to do a headstand there

 

[thvu]

@tony is on Lasso Lift Watch.

 

[skategal]

Here we go Sui/Han….will they make it through?

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

Didn't Jenni Meno used to be a redhead ... or am I just dreaming?

She was but red hair tends to fade to either blonde or brown. I used to have red hair but it's blonde now. Well, except when I dye it various unnatural colours.

 

[tony]

Lots of work getting down on the ground to be there for 1.5 seconds and awkwardly get up from it, I think.

 

[tony]

3T< both 2A probably also. Way different timing and such separation on the Salchow attempts.

First lift called lasso and it definitely was, the arm way up there how it should be. Second is the exact lift they did in the short and ONCE AGAIN it's called a group 5 here.

I think there are flashes of something but it's clear they have no stamina and the skating isn't flying around like it used to.
