Skate America 2024 Pairs FS - Texas 2T

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

I have to do a little bit of work while I am sick, the British look really, really good. They’ve improved so much. Oh my gosh look how fine Misha looks. Oh my gosh he is my nominee for PSOTY

 

[Aceon6]

No falls today. Progress.

 

[tony]

LOVE the program. Builds so much. Easily (at least) 2nd here

Kam/O'Shea: Nice 3 twist, decent sbsb3 toes, throw 3 lutz, two footed stumble out. SBS 3 sal (she short) with 2 axel sequence. 3 throw loop, landed but barely. Stumbles even out of the sbs spin. The exit of their death spiral is calling for a dislocated shoulder. Great lifts, but this is extremely messy otherwise. Huge fight for him to not lose balance on the last lift.

 

[Karen-W]

KamOShea - beautiful 3tw; SBS 3t - and he pitched forward a bit but good! Throw 3z - overrotates and two-foot step out for her; SBS 3s+2a - soooooo far apart - neg GOE incoming; throw 3lo - she held on but that's getting reviewed. This is another messy, nervy program. They probably have a big enough lead to remain ahead of EfiMit and definitely MetBeru, but I wouldn't give them the FS win over EfiMit. That second to last lift really is a showstopper though! I think I'd probably end on it rather than the one they chose to end on. I question that TES being anywhere close to EfiMit.

 

[Rukia]

I wonder if "no I won't be afraid" is aspirational? Either way a pretty good outing.

 

[Jay42]

I'm not fond of Florence and the Machine's Stand By Me cover, but they do skate to the music well.

 

[Desperado]

Danny looks so happy... Good for him.

 

[Jarrett]

LOVE the program. Builds so much. Easily (at least) 2nd here

What are you drinking Tony? Please share.

 

[Sally1214]

Oh my gosh, I LOVE Ellie and Danny. And, her dress is gorgeous. That being said, I skated every single step of that program with Ellie and "we" had some shaking landings. BUT ..... I was cheering loudly with the audience after that SPECTACULAR lift at the end.

 

[Matryeshka]

Damnit Ellie. She looks so right on the ice and as a pairs skater, but ARRRRGGGHHH.

Although I wonder at the beginning if the thought of medaling got to her--it seemed like she was being too careful, skating not to lose instead of skating to win.

 

[Citlali]

Ellie is never going to get the throws, right?

 

[Aaron MB Fan]

A bit more of a typical skate for Ellie and Danny on the throws/jumps but ugh so much to love in their skating. Such beautiful quality in the pairs elements. Love them! They feel far more striking this year to me than at Worlds live. The crowd was roaring at the end with the final lift.

It was very good! The lifts at the end really build it so well.

 

[dupa]

O'Shae is always so sweet to her.

 

[genevieve]

who are these people and what have they done with Kam/O'Shea?

That music transition sucks, and she biffed the 1st throw (and there were other questionable moments), but they are so much more of a team, and she looks so confident now. It was great to see them so joyful in the last minute of the program

 

[Aaron MB Fan]

This announcer needs to be fired with the name butchering and errors.

 

[Sally1214]

HUGE score for Ellie and Danny!!

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

MISHAAAAAA WOWWWW

 

[Karen-W]

I'm sorry, but no... That did NOT deserve to be ahead of EfiMit in the FS.

 

[Jarrett]

The power of the USFSA for that score lol

 

[Jay42]

I get the Ted always says peoples names wrong but I swear he's worse this year.

 

[Lizziebeth]

Ellie is never going to get the throws, right?

at least they are triples, but she still looks uncomfortable

 

[Desperado]

This announcer needs to be fired with the name butchering and errors.

We're listening to Ted so... ;-)

 

[peibeck]

Those PCS are ridiculous and undeserved for this performance, I'm sorry to say.

 

[Primorskaya]

Even M/K are miles apart on their SBS jumps

 

[myhoneyhoney]

Oh no..

 

[Matryeshka]

I woke up my dog I screamed so loud when Rika fell.

 

[Colonel Green]

"The decision was mine" proclaims Julie Marcotte defiantly to FSU.

 

[floridaice]

I HATE this music
