2025 Skate Canada Pairs SP PBP - Carmina BOO-rana

[JoannaLouise]

HUGE throw 3lo!

 

[Braulio]

I like their flow and the throw jump was huge, shame the touching down, a proper lasso lift!

 

[Wyliefan]

Nice height on that throw!

 

[Elisheba]

I have started really liking the Swiss team.

 

[tony]

His 2A (not done here) is one of the best I've ever seen. The twist is massive. There was a pic on their IG from a competition last weekend and it's insanely high. The throw gets distance. She has always been a go-getter fearless partner and I expect massive stuff from them.

The lift here looked sticky.

Still, I suspect this may be one of the better performances of the day

 

[ilovesalchows]

Their connection to each other is very Swiss.

 

[Jay42]

I love that the Skate Canada dailymotion feed won't have commentary during the program. I have to say the picture is crystal clear and way better quality than usual.

Gem is using the Dailymotion feed and it looks way better than the last time I tried using Gem instead of VPN'ing my way to another country for YouTube

 

[Kateri]

I really think these guys are gonna be on the Euro podium sooner rather than later. Love them.

Scaring me on the camel spin, though.

VouBou - 3tw - gorgeous; SBS 3t - nicely done; throw 3lo - fabulous; lift - he could be a bit smoother, but fine otherwise; step seq - alright; BIDS - good; SBS spins - maybe a little TOO close and not terribly in synch plus the distance definitely shifted between positions.

I agree with @tony - this is a team to watch for the future. The improvement from Tom in particular is just astounding from where he was a couple years ago and with his last partner.

 

[Dave of the North]

VouBou decent outing except the sbs spins.

 

[Aaron MB Fan]

Wow what a Senior debut for the Swiss!! That had a lot of wow elements. Such great progress from them! I enjoyed the program, hopefully they develop more connection and expression in the program as the season progresses. They should be very pleased with that! Tons of future potential for them.

 

[Jay42]

The Swiss really do have a lot of potential. It's going to be fun seeing them develop over the next couple of seasons.

 

[peibeck]

Vouillamoz/Bouvart: Pretty good except that scary close sbs spin. They could clean up their transitions in and out of the elements.

Oxana Vouillamoz/Tom Bouvart
Coach: Claude Peri, Lola Esbrat
Music: Liberian Girl, Smooth Criminal

Triple Twist 3
3T
Throw 3Lo
Reverse Lasso Lift 4
Step Sequence 4
Back Inside Death Spiral 3 (2 after review)
Change Foot Combo Spin 3 - too close to start, and then a fair bit of travelling

That was a much better start to the competition than I was expecting. Really good technical elements, and some nice performance quality.

61.54 = 1st Place

They were at Worlds and Euros last year but big improvements.

 

[her grace]

V/B

Nice skate! Solid technique, his footwork a bit sketch on lift, she managed that high throw well, SBS spin a bit off

 

[Baby Yoda On Skates]

Massive twist on replay.

The program is super boring. But it's exciting to see a pair landing everything.

 

[genevieve]

I thought I’d check in while still at work and thought it was the end of Pairs. I know I’m not the most attentive fan anymore but was like really? A Swiss team I’ve never heard of is in first??

 

[Desperado]

Gem is using the Dailymotion feed and it looks way better than the last time I tried using Gem instead of VPN'ing my way to another country for YouTube

I turned it on and got ads so I moved to Dailymotion. (Radio-Canada didn't have ads but I can't with Alain Goldberg.

 

[beckab81]

Don't love the program for the swiss (feels a bit junior to me), but they're so talented, can't wait to watch them grow.

 

[Citlali]

Scarily close spins

That was solid, but they lack the musicality for a MJ program, also needs more music cuts

 

[Belsornia]

Vouillamoz/Bouvart were fab, hard to believe he’s the same guy who used to skate with Coline Kériven. Also a hair glow up since last season!

 

[Jay42]

The program is super boring. But it's exciting to see a pair landing everything.

Especially when it's the first team out

 

[Karen-W]

I never get trick or treaters so I don’t buy candy anymore

Not their senior debut - they were at Worlds in Boston last year but didn't make the FS. GP debut, though, and they'll certainly be in line for 2 GPs next season, I think.

 

[LilJen]

Thanks, Chris, for telling us that was a “lassoo” lift.

 

[peibeck]

Wow what a Senior debut for the Swiss!!

Just their senior GP debut. I remember them from Boston Worlds.

 

[ChillSkate]

Wow the Swiss team was much better than I expected! I really enjoyed that. I don't recognize them - should I? They seemed too good to be the first skaters.

 

[tony]

Thanks, Chris, for telling us that was a “lassoo” lift.

That's how most Canadian skaters and coaches call it too, so fitting I guess with this event.

 

[LilJen]

expensive?

Clockwork like? Full of holes? (Cheese) mountainous?
