Carreira/Ponomarenko Need a Cheer Thread

[Rukia]

...so I'm making one. Move up to seniors and get all the perks.

Here's their RD from Nebelhorn Trophy and here's an article in the USFSA Fan Zone (and I think in Skating Magazine?)

Hope they have a great skate in the FD (and the correct music )

Love this team. I admit to having a girl crush on Anthony. He and Jean-Luc Baker are so versatile and a pleasure to watch.

Thanks for starting this thread. This team has so much potential and are looking really good for seniors. I definitely see more threads in their future.

Loved their RD. Igor gave them a good tango. I just wish Anthony would lose the highlights resembling a cockatoo from a distance.

Two good competitions before the senior GP.

 

[Rukia]

Here's their FD from Nebelhorn. Also I read the Skating Magazine version of the article I linked. It said their goal is top 5 at US Nationals this year. That's a potentially doable goal depending on how everyone skates. I'm excited to see how they do in their GPs.

Get to know Christina and Anthony.

Here's a really great article about Anthony and his parents. I think it's hilarious that his parents, owners of 3 Olympic medals, can't watch him compete.

I think that’s the case with most parents/relatives who are competitors themselves. They would probably prefer to be on the ice themselves than be in a situation where they don’t have any control of the outcome.

Pasquale Camerlengo did the choreography for the RD. Igor did their FD.

Everything about this is so endearingly wholesome.

Cheering them on!

Great showing in the RD at Rostelecom. 69.01 and in 2nd. I think Christina looked much more comfortable here than in Helsinki. Good luck to them in the FD!

They need new programs from Pasquale while Igor is away somewhere. They’re better than the Naomi Lang and Peter Tchernychev choreography.

With the Shibs out, I think C/P are going to be my U.S. team to uber. In large part because they're the only U.S. team that aren't putting me to sleep this year.

 

[mollymgr]

Congrats on their bronze at GP Russia. Onwards and upwards.

USFS tweeted earlier today:

.@ccarreira03 and @AnthonyPono9 win at Tallinn Trophy! They earn new season's best scores of 110.64 for their free dance and 180.22 total.

Congrats on their first senior international win!

Great job!

Here's their RD and FD. They look strong and relaxed. Great way to build up to nationals!

Love these two.

Thanks for the links, I missed the RD and a bit of the FD. Happy for their win!

Same here. Of the teams that have come up from the junior ranks in the past couple seasons, C/P are the only ones that I don't find deadly dull this season. I'm hoping they might pull ahead of McN/Car and the Parsons at Nationals.

A bit funny how they're trying(noticed on twitter) to mimic the V/M "fake cute couple" and get the V/M fandom.

 

[mollymgr]

Here are a couple interviews with Anthony and Christina.

I enjoyed Anthony's answers about Russian coaches and was intrigued by the hobby of extreme ironing.

 

[Wyliefan]

Part of me is wondering if he just made that up.

 

[paskatefan]

Looking forward to seeing them compete @ Nationals again!

 

[mollymgr]

Part of me is wondering if he just made that up.

Probably.

This line sort of cracked me up: "During my whole childhood, I was taught by my mom and she was super scary." because it's not how I imagine Klimova to say the least (I have a feeling he is exaggerating a little for comedic value based on his other quotes about her).

 

[Rukia]

So they kind of killed their RD at US Nats! That's the best they've skated all season. So happy for them!

I very much enjoyed their RD!

And Mama Marina in stands!!!!
