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

[rfisher]

Alisa needs to skate for Japan so her trip around the globe will be complete. Finland to Russia to Germany to the US. She can move west to Asia and be the most geographically diverse skater ever. On your way to a US championship, baby!

HA I said she doubled and then doubted myself when the tracker disagreed.

LOLOLOL - US Nats-flation is such a thing of beauty. 69.03!

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

69 points, with a double toe? OK

 

[genevieve]

they are playing RFAD in the replay instead of E/M's music - I miss RFAD programs

 

[Rukia]

efimova gives the slight eyebrow raise of approval to the score

 

[Baby Yoda On Skates]

Yes!!!!

 

[Lanie]

Really enjoy them a lot

 

[Wyliefan]

Ashley says she can land the jumps in practice, which must make it all the more frustrating.

 

[beckab81]

I refuse to uber this team because I know she can't jump, but that was a great skate other than the toe. Judges were throwing huge GOE - I'd be worried if I were Chan/Howe

 

[Baby Yoda On Skates]

69 points, with a double toe? OK

Quality trumps Aerosmith.

 

[genevieve]

I love Emily's dress.
And I despise Ed Sheeran.

Change my mind, Chan/Howe!

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

The only top team we’re missing is Plazas and Fernandez?

And the appropriate “shit, what might have been”. I like that she’s frustrated.

Spencer Akira

 

[BrightSkates]

Their speed is just....

I noticed before that in the replays they always seem to use the previous team's song. Weird!

 

[rfisher]

69 points, with a double toe? OK

The rest of the program was far better than all the others. Higher levels all around.

 

[Rukia]

well well chan/howe came to slay

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

OK I have to peace out for a little while…..you guys we may need to call Guinness book of world records….

Because up to this point all singles jumps have been landed in US pairs

 

[beckab81]

lolol, pitched forward landing of the throw and still gets positive GOE - never change US Nats judges

 

[Lanie]

ANL STOP JINXING IT SOMEONE IS GONNA FALL NOW

 

[genevieve]

I haven't really noticed that dynamic before, but Spencer is super expressive and Emily is all business.

on that lift - good save!

 

[BrightSkates]

This is my favorite short choreo by far

 

[Rukia]

yeah i'm super impressed they saved that lift

 

[peibeck]

Chan/Howe: Not positive GOE on that UR sbs 3t from her. Lovely twist. No run out on the throw 3F. Great expression throughout. A bit off in these sbs spins.

Might get the nod, but I feel like E/M were more polished.

 

[Matryeshka]

Not gonna lie, I am totally OK with E/M's nationals inflation. I'd rather watch Alisa just pose on the ice than most of the other elements I've seen today.

Chan/Howe doing well to Ed Sheeran just to spite me.

 

[tangerine dream]

Ugh, now I have to go youtube Josh Farris's 2015 SP.

 

[Karen-W]

ChanHowe - SBS 3t - stayed up but there was ice kicking up; 3tw - nice; throw 3f - she pitched forward but stayed up; BODS - gorgeous; lift - eeek, that was a hinky on the mount but steadied it and was fine; step sequence - another really good, expressive one; SBS spins - need some work - far apart & not super synched.

I actually like this program. It'll be interesting to see how they're scored.

 

[PRlady]

Finally a pair that really expresses the music!

 

[genevieve]

yeah i'm super impressed they saved that lift

My abs were tightening with hers to save that balance
