Nebelhorn Trophy - Pairs SP & FS

[Karen-W]

MiNiki - oooooo, I LOEV these costumes! Her dress is so interesting and different. Kati Witt did well by them, paying for these costumes. 3tw - beautiful; SBS 3t+2a+a - she put a hand down on the 2a & lost her momentum; SBS 3s - good; throw 3lo - very nice; first lift - nice; BODS - very nice; pairs combo spin - I actually love its placement & timing with the music; throw 3f - nice; second lift - so strong; choreo seq - eh; last lift - very cool entrance where she flips up over her back and into his grip.

Well, I could get behind MiNiki winning in Milano-Cortina with these two programs this season. Huge step up from the programs & costumes they had last season.

I don't know about this program for H/V. The music is dramatic, but maybe a bit heavy?

I'm good with it - it's a major upgrade from their Four Seasons program & costumes last season.

 

[SkateFanBerlin]

H/V just don`t seem to miss. A little more choreo and the probably can take the Japanese

 

[Wyliefan]

M/K look nice in their sparkles!

MiuKih - 3tw - good; SBS 3t+2a+2a (I think - TES tracker's gone again) - good; first lift - flying across the ice; throw 3 - swishy; BODS - nice; pairs combo spin - boring; SBS 2s - well, yeah; second lift - nice; throw 3lo - and she falls; last lift - good; choreo seq - now, that's how you do a choreo seq!

And the TES tracker appears right here at the end, lol. It's quickly adding the elements and their TES is behind MiNiki by over 1 point. Probably won't be enough to win, but we'll see what sort of unnecessary PCS bump they get.

HOLY HELL. Second by .35!!!!

I don't know about this program for H/V. The music is dramatic, but maybe a bit heavy?

I thought this too seeing it live.

But maybe later in the season with a bit more polish, it will seem less heavy.

 

[PRlady]

From what I could see these teams are so evenly matched. Milan could be epic. Congrats to H/V.

Medals for Pairs and then for Men.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Man oh man, do I wish Italy had three pairs spots and two women's spots.

Totes

 

[skatfan]

Love the top two - majestic music for both pairs. I love that they are pushing each other. MiuKih finally have a long program worthy of their skills.

Not as sure about the Americans - will have to see how it develops.

 

[her grace]

Close scores between 1 & 2 and 3 & 4!

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

I really like Annika and Robert so much that I’m going to say this..

I wish they would try something completely different, I’m never surprised by what they do anymore.

She is forever in a cat suit, and that’s fine, but I just like to see her in something different, I don’t know.. even a pair of overalls. Lol

And second they really gravitate towards 70s and 80s American rock ‘n’ roll music. I just like to see them do something different because I really like her and I really like him a lot.

I don’t know maybe give them Minerva and Nikita program or Sara and Niccolo’s program just for something different.

That second or third lift they had in the program is really good in the free.

I would like to see them do something completely different. They are very interesting to watch with a lot of excitement.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Lord the kiss and cry for Irma and Riccardo are giving the Philippines couple a run for their money, how awkward.

I feel kind of bad for him. He’s even know what to do besides look at the flowers on the table.
