Skate Canada 2024 Pairs SP PBP - Is That a Giant Moose Head in Your Pocket Or Are You Just Glad to See Me?

[Rukia]

those orgasmic uh oh's were truly something thank goodness someone is making pairs skating slutty again

 

[Karen-W]

SDDes - oh, that's right, another breathy song. 3tw - good; SBS 3t - his landing was hella sus, to go complete NorCal on everyone here, lol. Throw 3lo - her free foot came down on the landing; SBS spins - close and decently synched. Her dress is only slightly less unattractive than Madi Chock's FD dress. These moans to end on the DS? That's a choice. This SP is eminently beatable.

 

[Lanie]

I love them but I hate this music so much

 

[tony]

Ugh. I love Deanna (and Max by extension) but when I tell you I HATE this program...

Literally does nothing to set them apart, they will be resorted down to normal GOE and PCS all year with this, probably fighting to be on the World podium.

 

[Colonel Green]

It’s so rare for the SBS spins to be notable in a good way, but looking directly on, the sync on those was superbly crisp.

Good save on the throw landing.

 

[peibeck]

Stellato/Deschamps: "Oh no, oh no, oh no" isn't the words you want to hear when watching pairs. Lovely twist. His sbs was UR. 3 THR two footed, and Canadian obviously pressed +5 based on the first TES score that came up. Nice steps.

Ugh, this Beyonce cut is pretty awful.

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

Just use the original Beyonce. This is bad. Julie Marcotte, that you ruining everything again girl?

Julie Marcotte single-handedly keeps bad cover singers in business.

Beyonce covering Beyonce isn't a bad concept. But here......

 

[slicekw]

I want to visit Deanna’s dermatologist. That forehead!

 

[Habs]

I love them. Decent skate. TERRIBLE music.

 

[peibeck]

If S-D/M go clean they will have an absurdly large lead.

They didn't and they still will. The Skate Canada Chan-flation is always mind boggling (even though Chan is long retired!)

 

[Rukia]

lol that score i mean i guess the judges just sat back and let beyonce's uh ohs wash over them

 

[Karen-W]

So, that's gonna be a 5-way battle for silver & bronze tomorrow...

I can give you my person's info.

 

[Desperado]

I will alway cheer for Deanna & Maxime.

But is this supposed to be a sexy type program? Because that is so not their vibe.

 

[peibeck]

lol that score i mean i guess the judges just sat back and let beyonce's uh ohs wash over them

Pour some watermelon maple syrup on me.....

I don’t think that’s how figure skating judging works.

 

[Karen-W]

LOL - Chris is thankful for the "quick break" so that he can run out to the corner market and pick up a few more bottles of his fave alcohol before the women's SP.

 

[dupa]

Did she do it special to torture figure skating fans???

You slay me!

Hopefully he falls asleep before the women...

 

[tony]

I don’t think that’s how figure skating judging works.

Their PCS was behind the Germans at Nebelhorn (who were skating at home) and here it was so-so for a World Champion team on home ice. I mean Malinin gets a big PCS bonus as World Champ

I don't think there's excitement in this program, and the elements don't stand out. Let's see how they score in a non-Canada GP. 7.75 and 8.00 in the protocols here, too.

 

[NinjaTurtles]

Worse, I think it was for 50 Shades of Gray

 

[skategal]

From the arena:

Deanna and Max were class of the field. Fastest, smoothest, and best technique.

Dog fight for 2-4.

I would have given it to the Aussies.

DH says Annika and Robert are his new favorites (or maybe just Annika….)

 

[Karen-W]

Howarth is drunk off with ANL. He hasn't seen them skate better than that? Half of the elements were negative GOE

Just gonna call this out regarding ChanHowe and their GOE - this was a gross exaggeration. In real time they only had 2 elements with negative GOE - the SBS 3t that she doubled and the death spiral - and it stayed that way on review. And the lift you thought was ugly got a +1.09 GOE. Don't make me come at you about ChanHowe. I uber them in US pairs the way I uber CarPon in US ice dance.

 

[Baby Yoda On Skates]

I was behind on Pairs because I read the times wrong, but I expected C/H to have a disaster based on Tony's posts.

So I was pleasantly surprised by their program. And no I haven't started drinking yet.

Still miss Spencer's hair.

 

[Sylvia]

G/GM train in Montréal now?

Yes. Details are in the interview posted in both the Australian news & Pairs general discussion threads.

Well I like Chan/Howe too but even I thought her bent leg in the lift was ugly.

Okay my bad, plus a SBS spin that barely got positive GOE. Of course the lift got GOE, they don't judge it based on a hideous position. I still stand by that

I mean, it wasn't the greatest, but I can't hate on it the way we all, uniformly, hate on LaurEth's gyno lift right to the "don't put me on display" lyrics last season, or any of the IceLab teams whose platter lift tilt around wildly as the guy rotates.

 

[terisa]

I thought about going I've been traveling almost non-stop for the last two months though and I still have luggage unpacked from Europe.

I am eyeing the Grand Prix Final, even with the long journey it would take to get there.

Worlds 2025 Boston!!

 

[tony]

Worlds 2025 Boston!!

Yeah, that's definitely in consideration but trying to maybe sneak something else into the end of this year! My work schedule allows for up to 8 days off without using vacation time, so I'll keep an eye on prices.
