2025 US Nats Pair FS PBP - "Je Suis Malade" but she still keeps talking...

[thvu]

Disaster skate aside, Kam and O’Shea have really brought legitimacy to the NA perk style. They do it so well and so genuinely that they’ve become the standard IMO.

 

[BittyBug]

They have had too good a fall not to.

Unfortunate choice of words.

But agree they'll be sent to Worlds nonetheless based on BOW.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

So...bets? I'm saying Kam/O'Shea still get the nod with E/M.

Yes

shin/nagy 2026 olympics agenda starts now

Thanks to Mama and Papa Nagy who moved their son to the US as a toddler.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Body of work dictates if they will go. Kam/O'Shea WILL go.

Body of work gives USFSA almost unlimited power. I am confident they will go, but body of work is a vibe, not a formula.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Who said C/H don't have citizenship?

Was either Ben or Ashley, I think it was Ben. That’s why I was asking.

sometimes good things really do happen to hot people

 

[peibeck]

After what we've just witnessed, do we really need 3 pairs to go to the Olympics? Y'all are masochists.

 

[Wyliefan]

They'll just go to someone's hotel room for an after-party.

I'd think so. C/H have the second* worst of the 3 US teams placement from last Worlds, and a less than stellar GP season. (5 & 5 vs. 5 & 7 for MacBeath and Parkman).

Yeah, I'm not really feeling like they've demonstrated they deserve it. They had a messy FS at Golden Spin and nearly lost to ShiNagy.

Chan and Howe will be told to get healthy and come back next season. With a new damn free skate.

From your lips to the Letovs ears! That FS is just terrible. And you know it's bad when I'm trashing it because we both know how much I love ChanHowe, lol.

It's a concept of a plan.

 

[MacMadame]

I think they were talking about another team.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

I don't think I've heard anyone talk about 3 in pairs, ngl.

 

[rfisher]

People keep saying she looks like Gordeeva. So that sounds like some potential passport switching hijinks to me!

Katia still looks good, but she doesn't look like she's in her early 20s. Maybe a photo in good lighting.

 

[livetoskate]

I just have to say that Efimova's evasive, standoffish response to Phil Hersh (when he asked her something like how she expected to go to the '26 Olympics) turned me off to her.

 

[MacMadame]

#toosoon

I didn't say it was a good thing. In fact, it's worrisome but very likely.

 

[Karen-W]

I don't think I've heard anyone talk about 3 in pairs, ngl.

Oh, when our top 5 teams are skating clean, they're all deserving of a spot. And by next season, I think we do have three teams that should go.

 

[tangerine dream]

Katia still looks good, but she doesn't look like she's in her early 20s.

And unfortunately both of her daughters look like their fathers.

 

[MacMadame]

And unfortunately both of her daughters look like their fathers.

But their fathers were hot.

 

[Amy L]

Diana Davis cured her congenital deafness with positive thinking and hard work, why can't Alisa do that with the US State Department?

I just have to say that Efimova's evasive, standoffish response to Phil Hersh (when he asked her something like how she expected to go to the '26 Olympics) turned me off to her.

Or maybe it was just a not-so-confident in English/doesn't know the laws type of thing.

Here are the facts. If she got married the minute she and Misha had their first practice session, she's still going to be short of 3 years 'married' by the time the Olympics come around. Marriage expedites the process to be able to get a green card and start getting documentation in order, but it's still ~ 4 years time via that path.

Unless they are married and some extraordinary athlete thing touches the soul of some Congressperson, which I wouldn't know about.

Sure, but I haven't seen anyone discuss it being likely that we'd get them. Kam and O'Shea's SB is 6th and EffMit 9th. It's possible if they hit and others miss, but not likely.

 

[kirkbiggestfan]

Dear Congress. We know you have orders to do mass deportation but figure skating needs applications for mass naturalization. We have Gordeeva.2 and a Russian truck driver with lovely muscles and triple flips. We will raise money through corrupt bitcoins to thank you for your corruption effort. PS: pair skating is more exciting than pageant competitions.

 

[tony]

You didn't see Karen telling me that it was going to be highly likely a few weeks ago?

And let me ETA clarify that it was a USA vs Italy discussion on who had the better chance to end up with 3 spots, and Karen believed K/O were going to slot into the top 5.

yeah i just assume she doesn't know the laws and such and her team is just like "let the lawyers handle it" so she's just like "cool ok"

but a secret marriage would be objectively funnier so i'm hoping for that

 

[tangerine dream]

But their fathers were hot.

Indeed. I just meant neither daughter resembles Efimova.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

You didn't see Karen telling me that it was going to be highly likely a few weeks ago?

She'll selectively forget she ever said that when it doesn't happen.

 

[Matryeshka]

I feel like pairs is where ladies was a few years ago--no way we're getting three, but no way we're getting one either.

I just have to say that Efimova's evasive, standoffish response to Phil Hersh (when he asked her something like how she expected to go to the '26 Olympics) turned me off to her.

I'm OK with evasive, standoffish responses to Phil Hersh. That actually makes me like her MORE.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

But their fathers were hot.

I dunno. Seems unfair. She does all the work of being pregnant and then the kid shows up with none of her features. Twice. I'd be miffed.
