Euros 2025 - Pairs SP: ‘Bin. Go.’

Oh Robert K

Did Anastasia change the top of this short program aerobics costume? The pink by the top of the costume is way too much.

Anastasia and Luke should be ahead of the Hungarian team

Rebecca and Filippo, what in the world kind of death spiral was that? It’s time to put Moulin Rouge to bed.

And fellow Italians Sara and Niccolo looking forward to next year, and hopefully you get of your warhorse as well

OK Germans bring this home. And they did.

Favorites were German one, the British, German two and Italian three lol

Wow, Anastasia and Luke end up in fourth in the last group. Honestly, I would have them third. They had the second highest technical score, wow.

Hase/Volodin not at the top of their game today but still a lot better than anyone else. Very happy for the Brits. Would love to see them overtake the fake Hungarians, but I'm sure that's unlikely.

I like Conti/Macii's passion, but they need to tidy up their elements and presentation.

Could you imagine of the British were able to surge to the bronze medal this year?

I'd like to, but it's pretty unlikely. I don't think they have the tech base, but I really don't enjoy the Hungarian team.

MetBeru got no value on their death spiral - that, in part, explains their unexpectedly low score.

So, that’s the panel saying her head never reached the knee level. Bit of a harsh call IMO, but technical panel angle may have been eye level instead of from a higher angle shown on the broadcast.

I questioned it in the practices at Skate America the very first time I saw them attempt it, and I've been shocked that they hadn't yet gotten a call. It's so, so poorly done.

ETA Found the post:

I don’t know what the newest rules are for pairs (I’ve been traveling, bla bla) but Metelkina’s death spiral is very, very high up. I don’t think it would’ve counted for a long time, not sure about now.

@tony bringing the receipts! Good for you.

It is incredibly terrible. lol.

Yeah, the panels have been generous with giving them the benefit of the doubt. I saw it as base level with a higher camera angle, so I imagine with the technical panel view her head never reaching knee level was clear.

And, as usual, not calling it before now did them no favors. If it had been called off the bat, they would have hopefully gotten the message to fix it.

Thoughts: Danilova & Tsiba have really grown on me in the last year and a half. Drat on the jump!

Though I'm happy for the Ukrainian team to be in the top 10. (They were cleaner than some above them).

Also, really, judges. Hase & Volodin were going to have clearance. You didn't have to give them positive GOE for the turned out jump and the out-of-unison side-by-side spins.

This. The positive GOE on the jumps really annoyed me, however good the rest of the program was.

This tech panel was so strict, like none before this season. Who were they, did they work like that before? Did anyone keep track?
