2025 Skate Canada Pairs SP PBP - Carmina BOO-rana

[Former Lurve Goddess]

Maxime’s costume continues to be unattractive.

He needs a Queer Eye for the Straight Pair Guy wardrobe makeover.

Nice music for Lia and Trennt!

10.00 presentation.

Did ANL hack your account momentarily?

 

[tony]

Skating to the warmup music.. mkay

 

[Citlali]

Ellie struggling on a throw in warmup

She almost had it

I've been pushing for him for a long time and hearing all about his Thor (Thanos? IDK) or something or other chin that makes him ugly Nope.

 

[ChillSkate]

That would have been a really fun song to skate to though!

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

That transition in the lift is scary, pairs girls rock….

 

[Desperado]

P/M

Really like this program for them and their triple twist has improved.

 

[tony]

I think they stepped into the generic last year with both programs. Don't love this music either but wow, choreography and held edges and strong elements. Very impressed. He flips her into that upside down position in the lift and it looks accidental though, like she's about to backflip right onto the ice. I'd figure out another way to smooth it out.

The choreo feels very IAM, and I mean it in a good way for pairs. See Dubreuil with Kam/O'Shea last season LP.

 

[MacMadame]

I thought so too but the judges did not agree...

I was thinking 2nd but the judges thought even that was too high.

They even have shops in LAX.

Before I moved a few miles away, I lived within walking distance of a See's.

On a skating note: I like this music for Lea and Trennnnnt.

 

[beckab81]

Loved that from Trennt & Lia!!!

 

[Jay42]

That was really good for PerMich! They struggled a lot last season so this was really nice to see.

 

[Braulio]

American flag couple is there in the front row at the corner too, as usual. They are as memorable as the pink sweater sisters. I first saw them in the stands either in the late 90s or early 2000s (definitely 2001 Worlds) and I suspect they will be at Skate America as well.

and at Nationals, even Worlds

I remember them from 2008 Worlds, they were seating some rows above where I was

 

[her grace]

P/M

Great sync on SBS jumps, delivering on the promise they showed at 4CC. Lift and her position was gorgeous, complete performance

 

[honey]

This song is still snoozy, but finally I felt they were skating big. They were giving effort in every movement. Very good.

Lia Pereira/Trennt Michaud
Coach: A. Purkiss, N. Lemaire, M. Marinaro
Music: Say You Love Me by Jessie Ware

Triple Twist 3
3T
Throw 3Lo
Axel Lasso Lift 4
Flying Change Foot Combo Spin 4
Step Sequence 4 (3 after review)
Back Inside Death Spiral 4

Not sure what was happening in the lasso lift with the change in positions because it looked awkward. That moment aside this is one of their best short program performances, and what a great program for them.

-1.00 = Time Violation
70.66 = 1st Place

 

[Sally1214]

Absolutely beautiful skate by Lia and Trennt.

 

[Karen-W]

PerMich - 3tw - fine; SBS 3t - excellent; throw 3lo - decent; lift - nice; SBS spins - good - nothing to criticize based on the camera angle; step sequence - actually pretty effective with the music; BIDS - very nice.

I actually like this SP for them! Is it different from earlier in the season? Really good (watch me hate it the next time they compete, lol).

 

[PRlady]

See’s is extremely popular in Los Angeles.

Which is why I never knew about them!

That was great from Lia and Trennnnnnt.

 

[JoannaLouise]

Well done!!

The throw and the SBS jumps both looked so confident.

 

[Kateri]

OK, that was wonderful! Not music I'd usually love, but they (ok, she) really, really sold it to me. Loved the choreo touches, especially that lift.

 

[MacMadame]

and at Nationals, even Worlds

I remember them from 2008 Worlds, they were seating some rows above where I was

I remember when it wasn't a couple but an entire row.

 

[just tuned in]

Could not take my eyes off that.

 

[peibeck]

Pereria/Michaud: Really good job except for the lift being a bit slow. Definitely the best death spiral we've probably seen all this season. His strength and her position was superb.

 

[Belsornia]

Is there some kind of GBR requirement for the Olympics this year she's worried about?

Pretty confident they’ve nothing to worry about in that respect. They’ve been doing quite a bit of media and publicity for Team GB so they should be good to go - they’re the only skaters other than Fear/Gibson featured in the 100 days to go etc.

I’m more concerned that injuries might have flared up again. Other than F/G everyone on the likely GB team has been struggling in that respect this season. Ana’s reaction certainly suggested that more was going on than a fluke error.

 

[ChillSkate]

Lia & Trent were terrific!!

 

[skatfan]

Smooth and confident. Mid 70s?

 

[Aaron MB Fan]

Wowow loved that from Lia & Trentt!! Had to give them a standing O as the good Canada I am!!

So many highlights, smooth buttery elements, great performance!!! So glad they hit 70+!!!

 

[~tapdancer~]

Oh my Lia and Trennt! Fantastic!! I have always loved them and this was a massive improvement! So happy for them. But that deduction is BS. They played the wrong music at first! Correct that please.
