[Frau Muller]

Let get this Sr Pairs Party started!!!

I get to watch without interruption today

 

[hanca]

Where is Solovieva/Ivanov?

 

[Jeschke]

I feared Soloviova would not be able to skate today after that horror fall yesterday
Such a shame. They were really decent.

 

[rfisher]

Very nice from Vaslieva/Volodin. The throws are so high she's struggling with some of the landings. That's always such a trade off in pairs, but overall, nicely done.

 

[Hanna]

V/V Micmacs program, wheeeeeee

Although to be honest, there was not much interpretation and some of the positions were so ugly. But, she's new to pairs, I'll give her time. Jump-wise very nice effort. And good to see them happy after the skate!

 

[Ka3sha]

Looks like she is not yet very acquainted to the scoring in pairs - asked Nikita if 116 is a low score or not

 

[Jeschke]

Jump-wise very nice effort.

3t1eu2s.
Meh.

 

[Ka3sha]

3t1eu2s.
Meh.

Yeah, 2sal for the win

 

[Jeschke]

Random note: score for V/V is almost 10pts higher than Mukhametzianova/Mironov. Due to luck with early event, the latter still have a chance for nationals (though I fear, I fear).
If they fail, would they be out of junior nationals then too?

 

[Jeschke]

On to maybe the most beautiful program this season

 

[Hanna]

3t1eu2s.
Meh.

Meh you. Still clean and could be upgraded to 3s and change the 3s to something else. And don't forget the 3f in the short. And I also meant the throws and twist, which are new to her.

Love some of the classic shapes of P/P. But she is hopeless.

That mid-program lift before the pairs spin is And actually the spin also

 

[Jeschke]

Some elements of P/P are pure class, the others
But well, that should be enough for them to not be dependent on fed's mercy.

 

[rfisher]

Awe, he's being all supportive. Nice kid.

 

[Jeschke]

Big score for what we have seen

 

[Jeschke]

Is this a baby manbun for Rakhamnin?

 

[Jeschke]

Love the running in the choreo sequence!
Lovely entry in pairs spin.

 

[Hanna]

Whoever these 2 are, some very nice transitions in the program! And the running part cute! Quite likeable overall!

 

[Jeschke]

OMG @Hanna our two posts almost similiar

I don’t see M/M have a huge chance to qualify for the nationals. Tarasova/Morozov will need second event, and so will Mishina/Galliamov and Boikova/Kozlovski. So even if there were not the other pairs who need second event, first three places at the last Russian cup event will be already taken and M/M would be fourth at best. However, pairs like Vasilieva/Volodin, Solovieva/Ivanov etc will very likely want their second event and that may be pushin M/M further down. The problem is also that they choose to do senior events, so if they don’t qualify to senior nationals, they shouldn’t get place at junior nationals either (unless they get pass for which there is no reason), so they may lose their spot at the junior team!

 

[rfisher]

Fedor has got a promising team. They have some really good qualities. He's beginning to acquire quite a few promising teams with his juniors and this team. Good for them.

 

[Jeschke]

Wow. Great achievement for A/R. They are literally teid now with P/P but beat them with better overall score for nationals. Big step for them!

 

[Hanna]

OMG @Hanna our two posts almost similiar

Well there's a time for everything.

Honestly, very likable these two! All the elements were rather nice, too. There's something about them that kinda makes you root for them.

 

[Jeschke]

Balchenko

 

[Hanna]

Wow at her scary make-up! But the tights, ughh. Also posture a little questionable, although it suits the program.

Aww it's really not going well.

 

[rfisher]

I love this program, from his angel wings, her evil demon eyemakeup, and cackling. I wish she'd converted him rather than him saving her. Also wish they skated it better. They were better at the last event.

 

[Jeschke]

Aww it's really not going well.

How is that even possible, the splats and stumbles I saw....

Edit: Ah I see now there was a 3-3

 

[rfisher]

Maybe the judges like cackling too?

Killer sbs and the rest
Congrats to 1st nationals.
