Worlds 2024 Pairs SP: ‘Poutine on the Twist’

[Flip Jump]

Didn’t a Canadian pair skate to instrumental Switchfoot several years ago—maybe Kirkland/Radford?

Yes.
This is the Kirkland/Radford Free Program you are referring to from 2008:https://youtu.be/6jVlN1B3bto?si=hX303VWGL9__J-TF
Riku even has a dress that is the same shade of green!

Minerva and Nikita were gloriously smooth live.

Their overall quality seems to be a cut above. I’m very glad they’re on the scene.

When I picked Deanna as a future star back in 2000, I never have thought this would happen 24 years later, and a potential world champion, and in pairs!

Watched it all late night. Peacock made the P SPs replay available about an hour after women ended. Did I spot Eteri with The Georgians??? Good grief - Now we “get” their crazy music.

Maybe that explains why Gubanova faltered, even though we didn’t see Eteri with her?

Is Eteri now the Georgian team mascot? We’ll see her w Egadze and, of course, Davis/Smolkin.

in other fronts:

The Germans were amazing. They must medal! So smooth.

S-D/D have the best SP. Donnez moi de l’Oxygene! I now get very excited with that music! Too bad they’re vampiring with bloody shirt in the LP.

USA not lining up to add spots for next year…came out as I expected: between 10th and 13th. I’d have the Chinese ahead of all of them. So Peng flubbed the landing of her solo jump. Otherwise looked fine.

Top Italians put away their “magical” grandparents’ SP…I guess that we won’t see it again until the Olympic season? Alas, the other Italians - the Euro champions, really? - still have Cats.

I remember being impressed with her at SC back in 2000. Who knew?
Good for her.
