2025 GPF JUNIOR Pairs SP - CAN vs CHN Round 1

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

The problem with Japanese events is that the flower girls have to be younger than 10, otherwise they probably would medal at it

That's quite a haircut on Feng

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

Is it mandatory to have at least one Zhang per pair?

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

Z/Feng are quite fast and seem to be more polished than G/Zhang, but I also find them a bit less exciting. Bad spins, because a Chinese pair.

Double post because the internet at the arena is horrible

Ava Kemp/Yohnatan Elizarov
Coach: Kevin Dawe, Lee Barkell
Music: Succession by Nicholas Britell

Triple Twist 3
2A - Ava fell
Throw 3F
Back Inside Death Spiral 3 (2 after review)
Reverse Lasso Lift 4
Change Foot Combo Spin 4
Step Sequence 4

Clearly disappointed with that performance.

-1.00 = Falls

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

Kemp/Elizarov are the only ones who look kind of like a senior pair, but they looked a bit more reserved and cautious, which obviously didn't translate into a clean skate...

 

[tangerine dream]

K/E's throw was very nice.
