JGP Istanbul - Pairs SP & FS

[Sarah]

To be fair, Golubeva/Giotopoulos Moore looked out of place on the JGP last season.

They looked less out of place to me.

Great job by Flores and Wang! Loved the side by side split jumps. The technical content and emotion in the performance was very good. Their unison needs work as does her posture, but hopefully that will come.

The Canadian pair are so gorgeous and well matched I didn’t really notice the technical errors. Their line and posture had me swooning. That’s what I like to see! Hope they get the technical to match!

First time to see Zheng and Deng. I just love his posture and use of arms. I feel like his previous partner was a better match in that respect. But Smith seemed too young and annoying for him . Hopefully Adele will get into that ballet room and work. Good potential especially if they can hit those triple lutz jumps.

The Georgians should be on the senior Grand Prix. However I’m not interested in Russians skating for Georgia.
