Euros 2025 - Pairs SP: ‘Bin. Go.’

[her grace]

That death spiral position was terrible. Where are all the Denney-hating judges to send a message that this position is unacceptable?

 

[Karen-W]

GhiAmbro - 3tw - okay; SBS 2a - she popped it - they may put the Georgians into the penultimate group; throw 3lz - pitched forward but kept her hands off the ice; lift - good; BODS - okay; step seq - overwrought; SBS spins - seriously, IceLab needs to get its act together with their teams spins.

I'd put them behind both VLDigs and HocKun and maybe ChtWoz, but easily ahead of Les Kovs & MetBeru.

On top of the ugly position, she almost lost it on the entry.

 

[Sally1214]

I still have PTSD from seeing Plushenko’s Sex Bomb live.

LOVED it. Laughed out loud every time I saw it ... and that was a lot of times. Plushy had/has a great sense of humour.

 

[Karen-W]

Any bets Met/Ber will withdraw?

Nah... All these teams ahead of them are inconsistent AF - they'll hope to move up a lot in the FS.

 

[Citlali]

Awful skate, but I can't feel too bad for them for subjecting us to Tango de Roxane

 

[MacMadame]

And now for something different... Carmen!

 

[Wyliefan]

Chris speculating on heart rates -- tell me you watched U.S. nats without telling me you watched U.S. nats.

 

[Skate Talker]

Con/Mac - not my faves but this was in a class of it's own today despite the mistake.
ETA: - so far. I have great hopes for Has/Vol

 

[Karen-W]

ConMac - 3tw - she nearly came down on the landing; throw 3lo - she fell out of the landing; SBS 3s - clean; lift - slow across the ice; step seq - this makes me long for CarPon; BODS - decent; SBS spins - they're the only IceLab team to have had decent synch on these. The ending is terrible.

WTF? How is this the performance of the afternoon so far? No offense, Chris, but you should be a bit of a homer here because VLDigs were better.

 

[Sally1214]

One misstep aside, that was a really good skate by Sara and Niccolo. Seen a ton of Carmen dresses over the years but this one looks very nice on Sara.

 

[her grace]

Strong skating skills from Conti/Macii! And better sync than most on SBS spins

 

[Lizziebeth]

Looking back, I think the Brits got lowballed a bit on GOE for skating so early.

 

[MacMadame]

[her grace]

Brits still leading TES mark

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

Looking back, I think the Brits got lowballed a bit on GOE for skating so early.

I think they got the mandatory “you only did SBS 2As” deduction.

 

[Flip Jump]

Crazy to see that the Brits still have the highest TE score so far with just a 2A and it’s well deserved! They have improved so much.

 

[Karen-W]

MiNiki - 3tw - huge; SBS 3S - he was a bit sketchy on the landing but stayed up; throw 3lo - smooth & huge; lift - nice; SBS spins - more out-of-synch sh*t; step seq - fine; BODS - beautiful.

Well, this will EASILY lead. Deservedly so. Let's hope they don't fall apart the way they did at CoC or KamOSh did on Saturday.

 

[Sally1214]

And, THAT's how it's done. Wonderful skate by Minerva and Nikita. These two are right up there in my very short list for gold at the Worlds this year. Hope they stay healthy. WELL DONE.

 

[Citlali]

Minerva and Nikita

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

Minerva must tower over all of the other pair women.

 

[Karen-W]

Wow. Judges were not all that generous with that program. And a time violation for them too.

[my little pony]

good for team GB! it seems kind of mean to just cut 2 teams from the long

 

[MacMadame]

And we end with:

brilliant (includes all superlatives)
Bubble braid/ man bun
Coach cam
costume doesn’t match
Cracker / corker
cutout
got it all/ completely wrong
HUUUUGE!
illusion/ tights weird color
Invalid element
Knee slide
Magnificent unison Pink Ladies
Music from movie/tv
Neon
Obvious warhorse pristine clean
Right from the off
shooting into the lead/ top
superstar artist
Tribute program
Voiceovers
whickety-whack

 

[my little pony]

oh it's national puzzle day, maybe that hideous puzzle piece shirt makes sense

 

[Karen-W]

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

 

[thvu]

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.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Oh dear Luca is so porny for the coach of the year Oh my dear.

Italian team number three did good enough to continue. I love them.

Oh the Kovs have new toxic costumes.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Anastasia and Luke are brilliant, best I’ve ever seen them
