2024 GPdF Pairs SP PBP - Kiss & Fly

[Theatregirl1122]

I don't love this dress for Minerva, but there's nothing wrong with it either.

 

[MacMadame]

well, that's because people aren't reading your comments on Page 1...

Nobody reads the syllabus!!

I don’t love this music, but then there’s nothing wrong with it either.

If Sing, Sing, Sing is a Warhorse, then what category? It's not Classical. I know you didn't want to have too many categories, but where do Jazz and Rock warhorses go?

 

[Colonel Green]

These two look great.

 

[Karen-W]

MiNiki - really, we should add a "Blues" music category, lol. 3tw - very nice; SBS 3s - fine; throw 3lo - seemed okay; nice synch on the SBS spins; is this step sequence a dead crawl across the ice? Everything is all well and good but this program is a total snooze.

 

[Primorskaya]

The Berlin skating club I managed to join after much effort is sending me almost daily updates on Hase/Volodin and Hocke/Kunkel, it's kinda sweet and I'm getting invested now!
They did really well despite the screamy music.

 

[peibeck]

Hase/Volodin: Technically wonderful (her sbs 3 salchow aside), but I don't get anything emotionally out of them today.

 

[Private Citizen]

I love how both the arena and the PBP thread have cleared out for pairs .

Give Hase and Volodin all the points

 

[Sally1214]

Minerva and Nikita! By far the best performance in this event to this point. I'm a BIG fan of this pair.

I think there is plenty wrong with that music

We agreed to put it in Pop Superstar for now. Louis Prima is a Superstar even if not pop.

I suggested a Jazz/Blues warhorse category but got overruled in the discussion thread in the Trash Can. For now, we're putting it in the Pop Superstar since it was a musical hit back in the 40s.

 

[Rukia]

that program was kind of blah

"Warhorse required to be skated by Canadian pairs and men sometime in their career"

 

[rfisher]

Decent skate by Hase/Vilodin. He throws like Trankov. Theres so much energy behind it, he almost over balances.

 

[Colonel Green]

Wait, they’re doing “Tango de Roxanne” with an emphasis on violence against women?

 

[Rukia]

coming to a figure skating event to tell a story about "violence against women which is often unspoken" is the choice to end all choices

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Ah yes, a tango de roxanne program to highlight violence against women.

Maybe that's why there have been so many of them.

 

[susieB129]

As someone who lives for her weekly manicures, I'm loving Rebecca's nails.

I was just trying to keep the list down because the more is in there, the harder it is to get BINGO. [Also, I may not have seen that one. Shhhh.]

 

[Theatregirl1122]

I would agree that this faux necklace counts as wickety wack

 

[Rukia]

that death spiral position looked so painful eek

 

[Theatregirl1122]

that death spiral position looked so painful eek

Clearly pairs needs "ugly death spiral position" for bingo

 

[tangerine dream]

This is a mess..

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Wait, they’re doing “Tango de Roxanne” with an emphasis on violence against women?

I mean, it is a song where the context is related but it's just like weird because it's a skating warhorse so no one is going to notice.

 

[miffy]

There should be a music deduction for playing 2 pieces of music at the same time but not matching the beat

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Oh gosh, this Moulin Rouge music… can it just be banned?

 

[Primorskaya]

Does that count as a pratfall for The Patriarchy?

I don't know what to make of the use of Roxane for a programme which according to Mark, is kinda about violence against women.
The end music is a super dramatic explosion, absolutely not matched by their energy, they're slowing down. But I could like this.

 

[Karen-W]

GhiAmbro - 3tw - bit over his shoulder; SBS 2a - he turned out; throw 3f - pitched forward on the landing; good lift for sure - exit still a bit clunky; I had every confidence in the world that they wouldn't fail me in getting EfiMit to the final group of the FS; those spins were outta synch.
