2023 Grand Prix Final - Junior Pairs Short Program

[Karen-W]

AK/LL - started off so strong but had a splat fall on the throw. Nice program apart from that and they'll probably slot in between KempEliz and DesThra.

They had a good skate going, and then the landing of the throw was a mess. Work in progress, but they'll be disappointed with that skate.

55.97 = 2nd Place

Emo 500 Miiles slays me.

Is it? It sounded like the original to me,.

Is it? It sounded like the original to me,.

The beginning sounded different and emo, I thought.

Yes, it does not start with the original. Definitely a cover to start, then transitions to original.

Hmmmm... maybe you're right. Their bio only credits The Proclaimers.

MetBeru - the weird, tropical "Summertime" cover. I just can't, even if they're the best in this field.

 

[Colonel Green]

This cover is so bad.

 

[Gris]

What an awful Summertime cover to end this night in wintertime Beijing.

Quality elements in a terrible program with horrible music. That has to be the worst version of Summertime. There has been a lot of discussion of the problems with this music in general, and then this piece takes those issues and multiples it by a 1000.

70.48 = 1st Place

 

[Spikefan]

I’m just now realizing I’ve only seen Flores/Wangs short out of this group. This Georgian program is so tacky, how Russian dance of them.

The fact that this program broke 70 is wrong on so many levels.
