2026 4CC - Pairs Short Program

[Hedwig]

They were very cautious going into the throw, I am not surprised, it did not work
still promising team - do I confuse them with another pair or wasn't there talk about them splitting up a year or two ago? If so, good that they reconsidered

I don't recall seeing any rumors or discussion about them splitting up. She was dealing with some pretty serious injuries last season though, so maybe there was some light chatter along those lines?

 

[PRlady]

I like Kemp El so much, this was not their day.

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

Not a great senior championship debut for Kemp/Eli but good experience for them nonetheless. Because I care about silly things, "Kemp" means a coarse wool fibre and "Eliza(beth)" means "pledged to God" so K/E will now forever me to known to me as "a wool fibre pledged to the Skategods" Hopefully, this means we will be saved from some bad costume choices.

 

[Karen-W]

McBark - Gorgeous 3tw, albeit only a L1; and she goes down on the SBS 3t then steps out and puts her free foot down early on the throw 3z. Well, this is rather inauspicious.

 

[PRlady]

Audrey URed and Katie fell on the SBS. The theory that former singles skaters jump better is not foolproof.

 

[Karen-W]

Based on their TES, I'm guessing that goes behind GoluGM in the standings.

ETA - well, just a smidge ahead of them due to slightly higher PCS.

because now I can only visualise lambs to the slaughter.

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

Well, Lady McBeth and partner kind of murdered themselves today.

 

[marbri]

Japanese team finally waking me up during this competition. And I technically woke up hours ago.

 

[marbri]

And Chris agrees with me

Everyone else looked either hurt or "christ january was a lot" tired.

 

[Karen-W]

Well, this was a really good skate for NagaMori until the messy SBS spins at the end.

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

Well, I don't need to nag N/M about their (mostly) awesome elements.

 

[Hedwig]

they are still very very fast but I think they reigned in their speed a bit in exchange for more control? Really love them so so much

 

[PRlady]

The Japanese are very plausible for the TE if they want to spare Miura one program.

 

[Karen-W]

Japanese team finally waking me up during this competition. And I technically woke up hours ago.

See, I'm feeling very sleepy and praying these last two teams skate fast. I need a couple more hours of sleep before I have to get up to work.

Well you need to make better life choices. Nothing today was worth staying up all night for
If I weren't bedridden I wouldn't even be watching

 

[Karen-W]

Yes and no. They will score well but they're going to be closer to KamO in both segments than Team Japan can afford if they want to contend for gold.

 

[Karen-W]

Well you need to make better life choices. Nothing today was worth staying up all night for

Oh, I slept through the RD!

 

[miffy]

That's ok for E/M. Not their best skate but I'm hoping they are saving that for Worlds.

 

[Karen-W]

So, today Alisa's the one with the hand down on the SBS 3t rather than Misha. And finished a smidge behind the music. Should go into 2nd though, but we'll see if the panel gives her 3t a rotation call.

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

Hey, Efi/Mit look like they actually could be a married couple today.

 

[Karen-W]

OMG, Tara! We had a world-class pairs team just 3 seasons ago until KniFraz retired.

 

[marbri]

I don't know. I don't think she should put off med school for another four years

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

OMG, Tara! We had a world-class pairs team just 3 seasons ago until KniFraz retired.

Poor you, having to listen to Tara and Johnny so early in the morning.

 

[Karen-W]

Behind NagaMori - hmmmmm... I suppose that's fair though I'd have had them ahead.

 

[my little pony]

good for team Kelly Ann !

 

[Karen-W]

Poor you, having to listen to Tara and Johnny so early in the morning.

It's a choice. I could have stayed with Chris but then I'd have been watching on the other computer monitor instead of the TV.

LaurEth are making a game fight for the top 4 but I can't see it happening. They should easily slot in ahead of ShiNagy though.

LaurEth really do know to skate well above their actual talent level. A top 5 finish would be an excellent outcome for them.
