2026 US Nationals Pairs FS "Ghosted (by my triples)"

[NinjaTurtles]

Does NBC really think congress will work this weekend to give her citizenship

In 2026 is Congress even necessary? Trump might do a classic THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION ON THIS MATTER post on Truth Social

Remember when pairs skating used to be beautiful?

 

[myhoneyhoney]

Judges cooking…

 

[Theatregirl1122]

That wasn't their best, but should be enough for 1st.

Althought he judging is taking ages.

 

[Braulio]

Well guys time to keep training and maybe have a shot at a medal in Prague next march

 

[ChillSkate]

Yay!!!!!

 

[Garden Kitty]

OK, the kiss and cry graphics surprised me. Highlight of the event for me.

 

[myhoneyhoney]

I think she’s just so grateful he’s ok

 

[BrightSkates]

That is the most depressing "I won" I've ever seen in my life.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Technical score for Audrey and Balasz is low. Even Chelsea and Ryan beat it by almost 4 points.

 

[Matryeshka]

Thank all the skating gods.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

They look like they are having complicated emotions.

 

[my little pony]

Ted Cruz is used to backing fraud, maybe he can steal a passport

 

[Carolla5501]

honestly with no sound k/o were smoother to me. I agree E/M were better but that was just ok

 

[Karen-W]

So Chan/Howe to the Games right?

Maybe, we'll see.

I’m not sure what I think of any of the scores because C/H were over scored in the short…

All of the teams were overscored in the SP compared to what they'd receive internationally, so it all evens out, IMO.

Someone with more technik is going to have to explain to me why Shin and Nagy scored as low as they did.

Well, as Ben pointed out - ShiNagy only get a L1 for their triple twist, whereas ChanHowe usually get either a L3 or L4 - that's a couple points difference. Same goes for the death spiral - ChanHowe almost always get a L4 on that element while it's been an issue for ShiNagy all season and almost always comes in at a L1 or, at best, L2. And, as others have said, their last two lifts lost a LOT of points because of lost levels whereas ChanHowe's lifts are one of their strongest elements (their last lift today notwithstanding).

We'll have to see exactly what happened once the protocols are up, but SBS jumps aren't everything in pairs.

 

[LeafOnTheWind]

Ashley talked so much that Ben only had the annoying job of repeating exactly what the rink announcer said about scores and placement. That annoys me. He was better off saying nothing at all instead of acting like a parrot.

 

[Braulio]

Just send Kam & O'Shea

 

[peibeck]

Efimova defying the curse of @rfisher

Alisa "lifting" Misha in the KnC was everything.

 

[ChillSkate]

I can't believe USFS allowed this to be scored correctly!!!

EfiMit, KamO, and McPark to Worlds I would think

 

[ks1227]

Well. This event was as depressing as usual.

I am reminded why I stopped watching US Pairs.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

They really should see what Alexa and Brandon could put together in four weeks.

 

[Badams]

I really hope they somehow get their miracle.

 

[tangerine dream]

I don't know how to feel about this event. There weren't really any highlights. USFS better send McPark to worlds with a bronze medal here after the got silver last year and somehow weren't offered either worlds or 4CC.

 

[Braulio]

Efimova nice words to Misha, just missed her giving a kiss to him

 

[peibeck]

Which Boston team is going to the Olympics? Soldier Howe or executive order Mitrofanov?

Rumor is... we won't find out on Sunday.

 

[overedge]

Why does Andrea have to look at her notes for these very simple questions??

 

[PRlady]

Well this why I usually skip pairs on these marathon events. I enjoyed Shin/Nagy the most, am dumbfounded that Chan/Howe might get to go and even EfiMit weren’t as good as last year.

 

[Vagabond]

The Japanese commentators are going down the results list and identifying the pairs that are ineligible for the Olympics.

 

[jlai]

For someone who doesn’t follow pairs who is eligible to go to the Olympics?

 

[BrightSkates]

I need the protocols STAT
