Eiskunstlauf-WM: Hase/Volodin und Co: Deutsche Medaillenhoffnungen

Bei der Eiskunstlauf-WM träumen einige Deutsche von einer Medaille: Paarläufer Benjamin Steffan, Einzelläuferin Kristina Isaev - und allen voran die deutschen Hoffnungsträger Minerva Hase und Nikita Volodin.

Hope it‘s not geoblocked. In the vid at around 1:05 there‘s a bit of Volodin‘s nekkid upper body and it is glorious.

Ukraine won , so Artem, as an amateur footballer, should get additional inspiration

Only one more to go for qualifying

 

[Frau Muller]

Peacock on!

Deanna & Max - and Vampire theme - not my faves but I want them to do well! Otherwise, I love Hase/Volodin! Also like Aussies and Chinese.

I saw several SBS 2s in planned content

 

[Finnice]

It is midnight here. But it is also my favourite discipline, PAIRS!

 

[Lara]

Managed to sneak in my onigiri dinner to have shortly. Mostly here for the Dutch music choice in this group but here’s hoping for as good a comp as yesterday! Or at least close to.

A pair from Finland shows with their costumes that they are exactly a pair from Finland

Half-paying attention as I stuff my face, but did Mark say this is the first Worlds for Chtchetinina? She was 6th just two seasons ago, although it seems like a decade.

 

[Desperado]

Love the royal blue dress.

No, he said it was the first Worlds for Wozniak, her partner.

 

[Rukia]

if there's one thing tonia knows, it's that a triple twist exists and is often performed

 

[Sally1214]

I'm back. Just in time. This is going to be fun.

Managing expectations...

I can't wait for ice dance and comments only about the twizzles.

 

[Karen-W]

DanTsi - bit off-kilter on the 3tw landing. Clean SBS 3s today!!! Gorgeous throw 3lo!!! SBS 2a+1a+1a clean! Some of the teams ahead of them are going to have to skate very well to remain ahead of them! Throw 3f also clean as a whistle!!!! This is a really great skate for them! So happy for my Dutchies!

 

[tony]

The choreo sequence is a copy of highlights from Savchenko/Massot's Olympic free skate, which I know I commented about earlier in the season.

Great music to start the day, and I find the program nice.

 

[Kateri]

And there are people doing things in the lutz corner that are NOT LUTZES.

 

[Jay42]

I do really enjoy this program from Danilova/Tsiba

 

[marbri]

That was the definition of skating to background music.

 

[airgelaal]

And there are people doing things in the lutz corner that are NOT LUTZES.

No way!

Axel Lasso Lift 4
Choreo Sequence
Throw 3F
Back Inside Death Spiral 3
Reverse Lasso Lift 3 (4 after review)
Hand/Hip Lift 4

This seems like a bit of break through for this team after several seasons of not putting together a clean free skate. Always tough to have to start the competition but what a great way to start.

113.17 = 1st Place
172.24 = 1st Place

 

[Citlali]

Great beginning to the pair's competition

 

[Lara]

Love this program!!! Was hoping for a performance like this, way to go.

 

[peibeck]

Danilova/Tsiba getting this comp to a better than expected start. More tech than I expect from some of the later teams. Good for them!

 

[Colonel Green]

Non-Canadian pairs who get a bio in the official event program:

Minerva & Nikita
Riku & Ryuichi
Sara & Niccolo

This team might have the widest contrast between how bad their short program music is versus how kickass the free skate music is.
