2024 NHK Trophy Pairs SP PBP - Give Me Lutz

[Citlali]

The music is NOT helping me to stay up

 

[MacMadame]

Great start does not count as dream/perfect start. It's too generic.

 

[Lanie]

So glad they are skating well. Really enjoyed V-L/D at Skate America and so impressed with the improvements they've made.

 

[Simone411]

I love their skating. Pretty and elegant.

 

[tony]

The Brits really impressed me at Skate America. Very improved, very pleasant and smooth now.

 

[Rukia]

vl/d have improved so much but this fw is still kind of tragic

 

[Messalina]

MetBeru - huge 3tw - and Chris said huge!!! Throw 3f - good; SBS 3s - clean; Chris is messing with us - "didn't hold back there" is not on our list! This music is horrible. The rest of the program was unremarkable.

Though I do have "didn't let anything go"

 

[Karen-W]

VLDigs - 3tw - concerning; SBS 2a - very nice! This lift is much improved and I thank them for that. Throw 3s - how she stayed up on that instead of Pogo-splatting is remarkable! This music is sooooooo dreadful, though. The rest was fine.

 

[kwanfan1818]

Gah, singles and Pairs should be required to choose at least one program with a minimum beats per minute that precludes something that could be used for a funeral march.

 

[peibeck]

This music is not made for keeping me awake past midnight...

Anastasia is a much more natural performer. Luke looks so clumsy in comparison to her.

 

[Karen-W]

Though I do have "didn't let anything go"

Not the same. That comes at the end of the replays usually.

 

[Sally1214]

Anastasia and Luke were very pleasing to watch. Liked the program (kudos to Christopher Dean). How on earth did she stay upight on the landing of that throw 3sal? It was H-U-G-E.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

I’m going to try and power through the last group

 

[Karen-W]

"things will certainly hot up here!" - mark it off, folks!

 

[genevieve]

I have rallied to see if Kam/O'Shea's SA non-terrible outing was a fever dream, and of course, Miura/Kihara

 

[peibeck]

That tooth been missing for years, or at least since he started skating in the senior level.

Okay, but that didn't answer my question.

 

[MacMadame]

If he says something about the girl being able to clean something while she's up there, check off "what the doctor ordered"

 

[Sally1214]

Oh wow, 3 of my fave pairs of the moment in this final flight (no offense to Daria and Michel..lol). This is going to be fun (I hope).

 

[tony]

Okay, but that didn't answer my question.

She wasn’t skating with him, so I’d think not

 

[Karen-W]

Daria Danilova still has her ugly SP dress from SCI.

 

[Simone411]

I'm afraid I have to call it quits, y'all. It's been fun. I'll watch the replays tomorrow on Peacock.

 

[MacMadame]

I am also shopping online. I am buying a camera.

 

[genevieve]

if Fine Fettle isn't on the bingo card, it should be

 

[Karen-W]

OMG... Chris mangled Riku's name in the skater intros "Riko" and now Ryuichi is "Ree-oo-shoo" - mark "badly mangles skater's name" off your cards!

ETA - he's said Ryuichi's name three different ways in this warm up so far. "Rye-shoo" was the latest.

 

[Sally1214]

Riku, please don't leave your best triple jumps on the warmup ice.

 

[genevieve]

meh why did I come back just in time for Ed Sheeran

 

[Braulio]

OMG... Chris mangled Riku's name in the skater intros "Riko" and now Ryuichi is "Ree-oo-shoo" - mark "badly mangles skater's name" off your cards!

Remember his Mao Asada versions: Meow Asader, Miau, Mea, Mau

 

[Sally1214]

Riku is SO teensy that she makes Ryuichi look like a giant when they skate together when I don't think he's actually as tall as lots of other male pairs skaters.

 

[Messalina]

if Fine Fettle isn't on the bingo card, it should be

I mean, we should all be saying fine fettle more

 

[MacMadame]

He already did that in ice dance so I've already got it marked off
