2025 World Team Trophy - Day 3

[PRlady]

I’m in the minority liking that program and happy for the good skate!

 

[MacMadame]

blew it out of the water is only on the Chris-only list. Figures he's say it at the last day of the last comp of the season.

Same! And I am still convinced had they skated this program that well in Boston, they may very well have taken the title. I think Babs would have brought down the TD Garden.

 

[honey]

LOL Goe for the sequence is higher for the Japanese than the last two teams, and not landed as well as either.

 

[MacMadame]

cracker!

Riku MIURA / Ryuichi KIHARA
Coach: Bruno Marcotte, Meagan Duhamel
Music: Adios by Benjamin Clementine

Triple Twist 3
3T<+2A+2A+SEQ - tight landing for Riku on the toeloop
Axel Lasso Lift 4
Throw 3Lo
Pair Combo Spin 4
2S - Riku doubled
Reverse Lasso Lift 4
Throw 3Lz - stepped out
Back Inside Death Spiral 4
Hand-to-Hand Lift 4
Choreo Sequence

Her jumps are the biggest question mark going forward for this time. At least they seem to have sorted out good programs this season - hoping for more in a similar vain next season.

145.06 = 1st Place

 

[Karen-W]

LOL - I'm dying that Chris thinks a doubled 3s for Riku is going to be key at WTT. Please. Judges throw away GOE like candy for MiuKih in Japan, and especially at WTT.

 

[Wyliefan]

No, Chris, they did not look as if they could have kept going all day. They were crawling by the end. Good job, though. I do like this program for them.

 

[honey]

I’m always afraid he’s going to keel over at the end. She’s dragging him off the ice by the hand.

 

[PRlady]

Well the Japanese are also exhausted.

[MacMadame]

I wonder what that sash says

 

[Karen-W]

LOL. Why, yes, Chris, I would believe a SB for MiuKih at WTT.

 

[beckab81]

I hope they continue working with outside choreographers and staying far away from Julie Marcotte’s CD collection. This year was the best set of programs they’ve ever had!

 

[MacMadame]

So has there been any movement in the standings for a while? (not counting in the middle of an event)

I'm assuming that skating mascot is a panda but between the mousy-voice singing and the body not being big and round, I keep thinking it's a mouse.

There was some movement between Georgia & Canada yesterday, I think? And France & Italy flip-flopped places between Day 1 & Day 2.

 

[skatingguy]

I'm going to miss most of the first flight for the Women Free Skate so I'm going to post some placeholders and catch up later.

I only remember Georgia being in last place the whole time.

Is the rink announcer mangling anything?

 

[Wyliefan]

You had me super confused for a minute there, @skatingguy.

 

[Karen-W]

Is the rink announcer mangling anything?

No idea. But, the camera operator is certainly having fun with some dizzying camerawork, lol.

Well, I'm pretty sure Chris just mangled Alina Urushadze's last name.

And the announcer definitely got Dupuis wrong.
