You mean excited to hear this tonight.

 

[Badams]

All of this Kam/O'Shea angst makes me want to root extra hard for them.

Never noticed how hideous his 2A prep is. Karate chop-esque. Tonia approves.

But as a whole, they look much stronger here and much more confident. They've always been almost there.

Looking really good to earn a third spot for Germany.

 

[miffy]

Bad Brit!

I can’t even imagine the joy of having 6 pairs at Nationals… you could add junior and novice in and we still wouldn’t!

listen spite ubering is very powerful trust me on this you should do it

HocKun - It was going so well until I thought about that fact and then he stumbled on the last jump in the SBS jump seq. This music is so dire, though. I really want them to beat the Hungarians - I'd like to see them as a seeded GP team!

Hocke & Kunkel (okay, maybe more Kunkel...)

Awesome skate! I'm in a meeting and watching this with the music low was so much better.

 

[peibeck]

Hocke/Kunkel Superb throw 3F and lasso lift. They seemed a bit tentative to start but really came alive midway through.

What a great skate for Hocke/Kunkel. After having to withdraw from the Grand Prix Final, and struggling at Europeans this was definitely redemption.

[Baby Yoda On Skates]

I enjoyed it. Emo music and all!

 

[Rukia]

anyway good for them it's hard to imagine they could have done much more

 

[Frau Muller]

H/K better than I could’ve expected. Bravi!

 

[susieB129]

I’m so happy for them

 

[Karen-W]

listen spite ubering is very powerful trust me on this you should do it

If spite ubering could get Ellie the ability to land at least one throw triple consistently, I might just stop griping about them.

[Sally1214]

Well done, Annika and Robert. I am quickly becoming a big fan of this team. Her personality is captivating.

 

[peibeck]

Lanotte looks like he's been enjoying pasta since retiring.

 

[Karen-W]

well i'm not willing to try it but someone else can

listen, my spite ubering efforts are directed toward Chock/Bates right now. I really need them to win Worlds this year just to piss a LOT of people off.

 

[Kateri]

I just adore Annika. SO happy for them.

 

[overedge]

MEEEOWWW

 

[tony]

I know Matteo and his ass are so nice for people to look at, but he just looks so pissed off and disconnected from the beginning of this program. And he picked it!

 

[Messalina]

Cats may be cringe but she is adorable.

 

[airgelaal]

SBS 2S! Good cat!

 

[Amy L]

I'm happy that they're happy but Annika please burn that outfit now.
