2026 Worlds Pairs SP PBP - Prague Fling

[miffy]

Aww I love N/M

 

[Desperado]

Those side by side triple loops, to the music, just gorgeous.

 

[Citlali]

Nagaoka/Moriguchi

Redeeming themselves from the olympics

 

[Karen-W]

NagaMori - 3tw - crashy dismount; SBS 3lo - very nice; throw 3s - bit pitched forward on the landing but otherwise fine; lift - excellent as usual; BIDS - solid; step seq - fine but can she have any kind of expression? SBS spins - fine.

This is one program I am not sad to be seeing for the last time.

And, seriously, Mark, this program wasn't THAT amazing. I bet it doesn't crack 70. And that it gets beat by at least one team in the next group.

ETA - vindicated with a 69.55!

 

[Amy L]

Awwww. Love them.

 

[Matryeshka]

If they leapfrog over the Russgarians for bronze, I'll . I'll also for P/S...but mostly I'll just laugh. Ironically.

 

[MacMadame]

This is one program I am not sad to be seeing for the last time.

I like it and look forward to it. Is this the team you say doesn't skate well outside of Asia? If so, can't say that now!

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Wozniak seems like you could bring to a gay bar and have fun with him.

 

[MacMadame]

Wozniak seems like you could bring to a gay bar and have fun with him.

Is he in the harem?

 

[Wyliefan]

Oof, that death spiral almost came to a standstill.

 

[Matryeshka]

I love Florence + the Machine, but their music is just not made for skating. Better skaters than the Poles have tried.

 

[Karen-W]

ChtWoz - 3tw - nice; SBS 3t - done; throw 3s - also done; SBS spins - really decent; lift - nice air position & speed; BIDS - bit sketchy on the exit; step seq - fine.

Good for them! I'd have that above the Armenians.

 

[Amy L]

I was fairly meh about Yulia in her previous partnerships, but she and Michal became a fun OES pair. They're about as perky as Slavs could possibly be.

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

I have an uncontrollable urge to chase the drone with a fly swatter....

 

[Reuven]

And a pirogi appears!

 

[Karen-W]

I like it and look forward to it. Is this the team you say doesn't skate well outside of Asia? If so, can't say that now!

They don't CONSISTENTLY skate well outside of Asia. They had a good SP at Finlandia in the fall but their FS wasn't so great. Anyone who is calling them as potential bronze medalists here is smoking crack.

 

[miffy]

I really like the Polish team. I hope they stay in after this season.

 

[Amy L]

Pierog!

 

[Matryeshka]

PierogiPower!!!!!!!!!! Are pierogis the new headband?!

 

[Karen-W]

Hmph. I don't agree with that score!

I love Florence + the Machine, but their music is just not made for skating. Better skaters than the Poles have tried.

I think the only songs they have that are skateable are cover songs. The Just a Girl cover does work for skating, it's problem is that it's kind of a meh cover, but none of their original songs work for skating.

 

[MacMadame]

And a pirogi appears!

two! And one had legs.

 

[MacMadame]

They don't CONSISTENTLY skate well outside of Asia. They had a good SP at Finlandia in the fall but their FS wasn't so great.

So it was this team.

Anyone who is calling them as potential bronze medalists here is smoking crack.

Yeah, not seeing that with 8 more teams above them to skate. 7 of which have a higher SB in the SP than they do.

 

[Amy L]

This group has the potential to be all over the place.

 

[Amy L]

My Peacock is going on the fritz. Thanks for nothing!

 

[Karen-W]

I have zero expectations for ChanHowe. Well, no, that's not true. I have every expectation this won't be nearly as great of a competition as the Olympics.

 

[miffy]

Ooh nice hair Lia, unusual to see hair down (hopefully securely back!) in pairs. She looks lovely.

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

I reckon Spenser is off to a BDSM club directly after the competition?

 

[tangerine dream]

They don't CONSISTENTLY skate well outside of Asia. They had a good SP at Finlandia in the fall but their FS wasn't so great. Anyone who is calling them as potential bronze medalists here is smoking crack.

Eh, it's post-Olympic worlds, if we don't get at least one really wild result I'll be disappointed!
