Skate Canada 2024 Pairs FS PBP - Rock Me A-Moose-Deus

[Baby Yoda On Skates]

Incredibly unpopular opinion and I am ok with that, I hate U2. To the point where I'm considering muting my TV.

I decided to go ahead and vacuum the living room.

 

[Allen]

Baggy tunics are his thing and we are all going to be okay with this because he's the hammiest and handsomest of all the pairs men here this week.

He's looking GOOD these days...

 

[once_upon]

I see that the men left enough black costumes on the rack for others to use.

 

[Rukia]

this is...not good? Like it had me questioning how long they've been skating together

 

[Colonel Green]

Strong recovery from the fall.

When will choreographers learn not to end on the pair spin?

 

[Jay42]

Oh that spin ending was awkward

 

[Allen]

I see that the men left enough black costumes on the rack for others to use.

But all the wine colored ones are gone unfortunately

 

[tony]

Nice recovery from the short. I think his (and even her) basic skating weakness is magnified in this program, though.

 

[genevieve]

well, that was a program that happened

 

[Karen-W]

Loucas Ethier should not be allowed to wear a sleeveless pleather jacket with a black t-shirt underneath. This is an abomination.

Issues on both SBS jumping passes but a solid throw 3lo, decent lifts, bit of a throwaway choreo seq, good throw 3s too. I kind of love how he's pumping up the crowd during the death spiral - way more confident on that today than yesterday. They should have ended the program on the DS rather than the combo spin - the speed and energy just died during that element.

 

[Primorskaya]

Oh that was a sweet little kiss break in the middle!
They scared me a bit but I thank them for some U2, I forgot I quite like this song.

 

[peibeck]

Laurin/Ethier: 3 loops/1 a combo? Okay. These lifts a bit terrifying. Both throws were nice though. Erm.... I don't think her foot was supposed to leave the ice during that combo spin, just a bit out of control.

 

[tony]

Chris is really just rubbing me the wrong way. They are both huffing and puffing, about to fall over, and I'm pretty sure he said "they had plenty of gas left in the tank at the end of that program"

Why must figure skating get such weird characters, from the PA announcers to the commentators to the fans

 

[floridaice]

Loucas looks like he is about to pass out and Chris says they had plenty of gas left in the tank

 

[skategal]

Someone is throwing stuffie chickens.

How appropriate

 

[Theatregirl1122]

I would've liked a longer break, but I did manage to do the dishes, take out recycling, change the catbox and put away yesterday's laundry.

I took a half an hour nap.

 

[MacMadame]

Of all the songs in U2's catalogue, Elevation isn't the one I would choose for a skating program, but perhaps the title is aspirational

It does talk about going down though.

 

[Aceon6]

I took a half an hour nap.

Could have stretched it to 45, I guess.

 

[genevieve]

I want to be excited for a program to The Chain, but I am also terrified

 

[tony]

Pretty sure they skated to this last year, didn't they?

 

[once_upon]

Looks like a wild animal clawed/ripped her dress

 

[genevieve]

gorgeous timing on the twist

 

[peibeck]

She's just SAVING the two good ones she has for today for the actual FS.

And Sakamoto had suddenly discovered the outside edge on her lutz.

 

[Desperado]

In honour of Deanna I used the break to do resistance exercises. I feel very virtuous now.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Love these costumes, except the random cutout.

OMG is this real Fleetwood Mac?????

 

[genevieve]

Pretty sure they skated to this last year, didn't they?

I apparently didn't see it

 

[MacMadame]

Love these costumes, except the random cutout.

OMG is this real Fleetwood Mac?????

Yep

 

[Sylvia]

Samuel Mindra started the Fleetwood Mac’s “The Chain” (eta: first part of his Senior FS last season) trend this season.

 

[Aceon6]

Tsiba’s feet in the lifts. Eek!

 

[tony]

Yes, pretty sure they did skate this last year as well because I'm remembering bits of this choreography. Don't mind it being kept!
