Skate America 2024 Pairs FS - Texas 2T

[peibeck]

Oh HELL no, not Je suis malade

You're going to be VERY malade this season, I'm afraid. Just saying... prepare yourself.

 

[Primorskaya]

Ted just went way further than me and actually compared them to G&G in terms of skating.Which is where we have to part company.

 

[genevieve]

I love how smooth their entrances and exits to positions and elements are.

 

[Sally1214]

Alisa and Misha have very quickly become one of my favorite pair teams in the World. I agree with Ted that there really is something special about them. Like everyone, they're going to make errors here and there but the overall quality of their skating is truly beautiful.

 

[Matryeshka]

Oh, Ted, bless your heart. You need more than an "a" at the end of your last name before you get compared to Gordeeva.

 

[Karen-W]

Ted tells people to Google G&G if they haven't heard of them, and I die a little inside realizing how old I am.

I'm just gonna disregard the fact that I was a freshman in HS when Gordeeva & Grinkov won in Calgary...

 

[Aaron MB Fan]

I know everyone hates Je Suis Malade but I am ALL here for the warhorses!!! Especially feeling the vibes with memories of W/P skating to this.

I may uber Efimova and Mitrofanov, just pure beauty and classical skating. She landed the jumps!! Wow. A beautiful skate with a well deserved HUGE score!!! Love them. Soooo happy they delivered!!

 

[Barbara Manatee]

Not sure if it offends my ears more than the completely mismatched costumes offend my eyes.

Not completely - their illusion netting matches.

 

[myhoneyhoney]

Oh how I miss G&G.

 

[her grace]

I adore this dress on Alisa. Unusual hairdo on her -- almost looks like she didn't have time to finish it.

She couldn’t finish her hair, she was sick.

 

[peibeck]

Good, but not great PCS. No argument with here. They have a way to go in the second marks, but for a relatively recent pairing they have so much potential.

 

[Jarrett]

I like E&M but comparing to G&G? Oh my.

 

[Karen-W]

Ryuichi's last name is now Kihra - we're just gonna ignore that second vowel in there, aren't we now, Ted?

 

[Wyliefan]

I like E&F but comparing to G&G? Oh my.

I think it's just the facial resemblance with her. Sometimes I think the main reason I like her so much is that she looks like Katia.

 

[Primorskaya]

OMG what are the "Hungarians" skating to? Surely Pirates of the Caribbean is old hat by now?

 

[Jarrett]

I think it's just the facial resemblance with her. Sometimes I think the main reason I like her so much is that she looks like Katia.

I definitely see that and this is actually the first program that made him look like a mature man instead of just a kid at 27. I have high hopes for them, can't wait to see them at Nationals and maybe worlds.

 

[Karen-W]

OMG what are the "Hungarians" skating to? Surely Pirates of the Caribbean is old hat by now?

You guessed it! They give Sober Pirate Yoshioka a run for his money when it comes to presentation.

 

[genevieve]

I like Kam's nutty noodle spider web dress

Re: Parkman & Metelkina -- who broke up with who?

 

[beckab81]

Can we please get someone for Ted to talk to so he stops "philosophizing"?

 

[flyingsit]

Who sprayed silly string on Kam?

 

[Karen-W]

Re: Parkman & Metelkina -- who broke up with who?

She was broken up with him to be partnered with Berulava. Who knows how much choice she was given in the matter.

 

[genevieve]

At least Ted's voice is calm and somewhat monotone - he just sounds like Charlie Brown teachers to me wah wah wah wah

 

[Jarrett]

Who sprayed silly string on Kam?

Whoever that did Bradie's gold mess.

 

[tony]

I don’t think she’s missed all week

 

[Primorskaya]

Sviatchenko is hardly the hardest name to pronounce, but no, Ted won't do it. It was Svashhmpftenko yesterday and it's Savshienko today.

 

[Amy L]

Re: Parkman & Metelkina -- who broke up with who?

Berulava had a terrible relationship with his last partner - - remember when she was injured & crying in the knc and he complained about her gaining weight? Parkman had beef with the GEO Fed and refused to skate for them any longer. Neither of those partnerships were going to work out, so Metelkina and Berulava just sort of morphed into a partnership.

 

[floridaice]

Yikes! that fall was scary, hope she didn't hit her chin on the ice.

 

[myhoneyhoney]

UGLIEST death spiral ever

 

[Jay42]

Wait Pirates of the Caribbean with Keira Knightley voiceover? I did not expect that. I respect it though
