Worlds 2024 Pairs SP: ‘Poutine on the Twist’

[Jay42]

Should we have a drinking game for how many times the female commentator says `like'? (who is she, btw? Mark called her `Tonya', is it Kwiatkovski?)

Yes it is.

 

[Alilou]

Which do you guys recommend for the pairs Short program, I have Peacock on by default…

I think it's the same international feed from the ISU

 

[skategal]

I crossed the road behind Simioli/Barto on the way to the arena. I had no idea who they were but I do now.

If you're fine without any commentary then stick with Peacock. I want to stream to my TV and don't have anything except a free VPN so I can't switch to the ISU YT stream without a lot of extra effort.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

She's Russian but I don't remember her competing internationally for Russia, she previously represented Switzerland and Hungary.

Her first name and last name are so similar to that Russian team I quite liked. Ended up splitting. Their short program with Sam Smith.

 

[airgelaal]

I prepared a kilogram of chips. Hope it will be fun

 

[rfisher]

Holichenko has swimmer shoulders. You don't typically see that on pair women. She could probably lift him.

 

[Sylvia]

Refresh my drink, are you watching YouTube? I have Peacock on.

Mark & Tonia K. are on the Skating ISU YT channel (VPN needed in U.S.); Peacock is not using commentators atm.

 

[peibeck]

Wozniak really is delicious. Isn’t his partner the one that used to skate for Russia that I liked? That Sam Smith song…

Russia in one of the countries she HASN'T skated for (just Hungary and Switzerland that I recall, but maybe a third).

 

[miffy]

As I was turning on the cock , I see the centre bell and everything is starting now, great timing

Enjoy everybody. Go team australia. I better see +fives across the board.

I thought you meant 5’s for PCS for a minute and was so confused

 

[Karen-W]

First time seeing Simioli/Zarbo this season - CZE sent Kucianova/Bidar to Euros as SimZar were apparently injured earlier in the season and didn't compete at 4 Nats. I barely remember SimZar from last season except to recall that they weren't even as good as the #4 & 5 Italian pairs which explained why they made the country switch.

 

[peibeck]

No, no no no, you’re doing everything right. These are the times we do this. I went to Trader Joe’s right before they closed last night and you should see the that I purchased.

I hope you bought the dark chocolate peanut butter cups. I made knockoff Lavain Bakery chocolate chip cookies and they are HUGE (about the size of a cat's head) and crunchy outside and gooey inside.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

OMGGGGGGG Finally a kiss and cry I quite like. Skate America and USFSA wake up and pay attention. Or call me and hire me. Id probably do it for free.

 

[Lizziebeth]

I've already eaten a cookie and the skating hasn't even started yet. God help me from gaining 30 pounds this weekend.

I just came home from the gym - think it will help???

USFS and the Boston LOC better not cheap out next year!

HALLELUJAH!!!! Please let it stay so all weekend!!!

 

[airgelaal]

Now we will have 2 Sophias one after the other. Later 2 Anastasias one after another

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

hope you bought the dark chocolate peanut butter cups

They are sitting right here next to me. Say hi peanut butter cups.!!

 

[Habs]

Wheeee! Here ALL DAY.

Me too! I'm working from home today and have my personal laptop open with skating streaming while I work. I am SO excited for this!

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

OK team number one if you’re gonna start off with choreography like that, and move those hips, sell it

 

[Wyliefan]

I've got the sound down because I'm in a Teams meeting. S/Z wiggling around to start their program looks pretty comical without music.

 

[Sally1214]

Who are we listening to on the cbc.ca feed?

 

[peibeck]

I love zero commitment to the choreography to start the competition off.

 

[Amy L]

USFS and the Boston LOC better not cheap out next year!

Boston Worlds better have a Dunkin in the knc

 

[danafan]

Radio Canada feed has their own French commentators.

 

[Rukia]

Down on the double sals rip

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Boston Worlds better have a Dunkin in the knc

I hear they are quite popular there. Here in Hollywood, I have to go to the burbs to find one.

 

[Jay42]

Chuck Berry into the Black Eyed Peas is such a mood shift.

Good choice, poor execution.
