We are live but Chris is speaking very quietly in his recap of what has happened and what is upcoming.

My Peacock keeps trying to default to go to a new video after a few seconds, like it thinks this pairs SP is concluding. Just click cancel to get it to stop.

Thanks for the tip -- it was happening to me too.

 

[Spikefan]

Same, and taking me to some dude bros talking. How does it not know my interests at this point?

 

[Aceon6]

The question du jour. Can ShiNag put up a score? And if they don’t, will USFS stop giving them extra love?

I hope is not an omen of what lies ahead, maybe a hell of a competition that the cock wants to forward in time

 

[Theatregirl1122]

I feel like I've seen Faula and Belle's costumes before. What am I thinking of?

Listen, finishing early can happen to any app. It's nothing to be embarrassed about!

Mine was doing the same.

 

[kwanfan1818]

Add in Stellato-Dudek, and you could put together a former US Ladies junior championships.

 

[Private Citizen]

His costume is a choice.

 

[tony]

A US pairs girl who can get through the SBS who doesn't represent the US. Makes perfect sense.

His stature has me wondering about the outfit, but whatever. They are better than I suspected they'd be.

 

[Aceon6]

His costume is a choice.

Roaming Kevin’s closet perhaps.

 

[Karen-W]

Alrighty then... we're off with a team that probably shouldn't have gotten this assignment - I don't care that hosts get 3 spots, that's nearly half the field for any pairs competition and the pairs teams getting host spots really should be required to meet the Total Minimum Score requirement before they're given one of these precious spots.

And nothing Wessenberg/Strekalin are doing here is going to convince me otherwise.

No, they're not. You're just blinded by a US pairs girl who can land a SBS jump, lol.

it wasn't that bad.

 

[Braulio]

Strekalin is a stud (no complains)

 

[susieB129]

Gordeeva/Grinkov 1994?

 

[skatingguy]

Megan Wessenberg/Denys Strekalin
Coach: S. Berton, R. Brubaker, B. Massot
Music: Le Dernier Jour du Disco

Double Twist 3 - poor quality catch, but good height
3T
Throw 3S - hands down
Back Inside Death Spiral 2
Change Foot Combo Spin 4
Axel Lasso Lift 4
Step Sequence 3 (2 after review)

For such a new team they looked pretty good together, and have some elements that they are making good progress on.

50.41 = 1st Place

 

[floridaice]

Strekalin has been working out

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

I don’t think the side-by-side spin deserved negative GOE.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Strekalin has been working out

His membership is currently under review.

 

[Karen-W]

it wasn't that bad.

I mean, by French pairs standards, certainly not.

 

[kwanfan1818]

Strekalin has been working out

We know from endless commentary from Anissina, Krylova, et. al. that all American women are fat; therefore, he has to be strong enough to wrangle heifers.

 

[ilovesalchows]

Now that I know how to say Balazs Nagy correctly, I can't stop saying it. (Not the way Chris does, by the way)

 

[PRlady]

I thought they were passable, but then I can count the pairs that excite me on one hand.

 

[tony]

I mean, by French pairs standards, certainly not.

They need ~81 points in the free skate to meet the precious score you mentioned. In their first season. Again. They aren't that bad.
