2025 US Nats Sr Pairs PBP - Howe Kam We Take Our Minds Off Things This Week?

[Wyliefan]

Wow!

 

[Braulio]

Ok, hell has officially frozen over. A US pairs competition with no falls on SBS or throws. Some wonky landings, some doubles, but no falls.

even TES tracker froze in disbelief

 

[rfisher]

Humph. I said I do not like O'Shea and they skate well just to spite me. Curse you Danny O'Shea.

 

[Baby Yoda On Skates]

That was well skated. And good for Ellie.

 

[Karen-W]

KamOShea - 3tw - really nice; SBS 3s - clean; throw 3lo - small, but she stayed up (that GOE is a joke, lol); BODS - also nice; SBS spins - in and out of synch, but close, so okay; step sequence - good; lift - I love them ending their program on this element.

This will lead, probably by more than it should.

 

[peibeck]

Kam/O'Shea: Lovely twist, and great sbs 3 sals. Fought for and managed the throw 3 sal. Good for her. SBS spins a bit off. Dynamic steps. A little sloppy toward the end, adrenaline maybe going too much?

I'm sure the LP is gonna make up for it now.

Yes, it did snow in Florida.

 

[tangerine dream]

Yeah that's gonna get about 78 pts

 

[BrightSkates]

Wow!!!!

 

[Firedancer]

Wow that was impressive

 

[her grace]

It’s been a good year for the USA pairs program!

 

[Matryeshka]

All right, y'all. Confess. Louisiana has snow, Kam landing things, which one of you actually sacrificed Eteri? I mean, I'm not gonna turn you in, I just need to know where to send the thank-you card.

 

[slicekw]

OMG, I got it. The whole pairs, I was trying to figure out who from a movie Ashley sounds like.

Ashley sounds like the babysitter in The Incredibles, minus the “braces” sibilance.

 

[Aceon6]

I'm sure the LP is gonna make up for it now.

Maybe the ladiezz will use them up.

My cat did it.

Other than the sbs spins, which were so wild it seemed like a choice, the difference in presentation on the ice from the other teams is just huge.

I know Ellie still struggles on the jumps but she really looks like a completely different skater. Love how they have developed as a team.

 

[peibeck]

0.07 ahead, on TES. With proper calling, probably would've been behind, as judges gave the PCS to Efimova & Mitrofanov.

Isn't it like 1 a.m. in London??? Or are you visiting here in the States? If you're in the U.K. for staying up and watching.

 

[Sally1214]

YAY, Ellie and Danny! That was excellent. A little slip on Danny's part on the spin entrance but otherwise great. Wonderful lift at the end. Danny is one of my very favorite pair skaters in the world today. I think it's the smile.

 

[CassAgain]

What a great final group!!! Loved all of them!

 

[Karen-W]

Yeah that's gonna get about 78 pts

Not quite, but yeah, lol...

I mean, 74 or 75 would have been appropriate for US Nats-flation, but nooooooo... USFS judges are making it clear they want Danny & Ellie on the podium in Boston.

 

[myhoneyhoney]

OMG, I actually really enjoyed US pairs competition?!!!! I’m so excited for the free now.

 

[Jammers]

The quality of skating compared to last year at Nationals is so much better. Last year was rough in Pairs.

 

[skatfan]

Love that skate. Ellie has come SO far as a pairs skater!

 

[peibeck]

77.19 Oh dear, that's rather generous. The top three should be at best about 3 points apart.

 

[tangerine dream]

Not quite, but yeah, lol...

They were over 73 at Nebelhorn.

I'm 44, not 88 . I routinely stay up until 1 a.m. Not staying up for women, though - sending good vibes to all of the competitors and hoping for a great competition!

 

[MacMadame]

I'm taking back man bun. I didn't see one in the top 3 replay.

 

[Braulio]

All this pairs without falls will pay a price, oh poor men's competition
