GPdF 2025 PBP- Pairs SP: “Cockadoodledon’t”

[floridaice]

You think Chris ever knows what he's talking about?

I haven't had lunch yet, need protein.

 

[Private Citizen]

McBeath and Parkman a huge step above anything else so far. They’re the first pair that looks like they belong on the world stage.

 

[floridaice]

That was really good.

 

[Karen-W]

McBark up next - probably ready and eager to prove the USFS wrong once again with their baffling Skate to Milano assignment decision and I'm here for it.

3tw - decent; SBS 3t - nicely done; throw 3f - she wasn't gonna let that landing go, lol; lift - solid; SBS spins - got off on the synch, meh; step sequence - alright; BIDS - well done and good ending.

I'd easily have them above ShiNagy by a few points but the TES is almost even and that leaves me worried.

 

[Aceon6]

FSU is always right, McPark could have gotten that 3rd spot.

Katie McBeath/Daniil Parkman
Coach: J. Meno, T. Sand, B. Frazier
Music: Vale

Triple Twist 3 (4 after review)
3T
Throw 3F - tight landing, but hung on one foot
Axel Lasso Lift 4
Change Foot Combo Spin 2
Step Sequence 3
Back Inside Death Spiral B - not sure her head got low enough

Great performance, but a couple of small technical issues that may cost them against the top teams like the position on the death spiral.

63.31 = 1st Place

GOE's seem stingy compared to what Shin/Nagy got, doesn't seem like there's a big enough gap between the 2 to reflect what was put on the ice.

After the 1st of 2 groups, the SP scores so far:
1 Katie McBEATH / Daniil PARKMAN USA 63.31 34.95 28.36 7.07 6.96 7.29 0.00 #4

4 Megan WESSENBERG / Denys STREKALIN FRA 50.41 28.37 22.04 5.50 5.43 5.64 0.00 #1

 

[Karen-W]

Well, they're in the lead but not by enough. Still, I'm living for the egg on the USFS' face with that batshit choice of sending ShiNagy to Beijing last month.

 

[BittyBug]

Has anyone else noticed that you can no longer back up the video during the live feed on Peacock like you used to be able to do?

 

[floridaice]

Hey Brandon!

 

[tony]

Sviatchenko looks like a little kid now.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

And LiuBed were over 68 last week.

 

[PRlady]

Agree there should be a higher score for McPark but the death spiral cost them 2-3? points. She’s become a convincing pair girl and he’s a great partner.

 

[ilovesalchows]

Shin and Nagy will of course peak at Nationals and USFS will find a way to send them to Milan.

You usually can't on the TV, but you may be able to on the internet or phone.

I’m able to do it.

 

[Rukia]

y'alls usfs conspiracy theories are hilarious tbh

 

[Skaterbob]

Yall are really going to be this pressed until the 2030 Olympics about the Milano qualifier right? lol The U.S. pairs minus E&M (who can't even go to the Olympics) are not getting 3 spots so why we think we should have 3 spots is slightly bizzare.

 

[Private Citizen]

I love that the crowd cheers the Kovalevs. God bless. Camille has to be the worst dressed, worst styled skater in the sport. Someone please send help.

Deschamps struggling with 3T.

 

[Aceon6]

Yall are really going to be this pressed until the 2030 Olympics about the Milano qualifier right? lol

Nah. But Americans are pretty good about holding grudges.

 

[BittyBug]

I’m able to do it.

Hmmm.... I'll try a different browser.

 

[TanithandBenFan]

Hmmm.... I'll try a different browser.

I’m on the Peacock app on my Roku TV.

 

[thvu]

Just in time for the final group!

 

[ilovesalchows]

A white belt is never a good idea.

 

[Wyliefan]

A white belt is never a good idea.

But I like this look much better than some of the ones Les Kovs have had in the past.

 

[PRlady]

And down she went. Between then and the Hungarians I am SO sorry I no longer have smoke breaks.

 

[kwanfan1818]

At least with Lalique we got the sweepers in their chic cashmere dresses and matching cloches.

ETA: Not Lalique: that was Trophee Eric Bompard, which supplied the sweepers' dresses and hats.

 

[Karen-W]

Les Kovs - 3tw - fine; SBS 3t - and down she goes; these costumes are quite tasteful; lift - decent; throw 3f - tiny and a skiddy landing; BIDS - fine; SBS spins - actually not terrible; step sequence - fine.

Well, they'll always have the Skate to Milano SP that pretty much earned them the spot that UZB will eventually relinquish.

 

[tony]

Better as a program than the Britney and Mummy stuff we've gotten the last few years, but this was a rough outing. Much better in the Milano event. They may get into the Olympic individual event thanks to Uzbekistan, but meh.
