2024 NHK Trophy Pairs SP PBP - Give Me Lutz

[Rukia]

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.

I don't think he's actually that tall but he looks tall in-person too lol

 

[Lanie]

This music just makes me think of Josh Farris and how much I loved that short program

 

[genevieve]

pink and grey: so '80s, even if the designs aren't

 

[MacMadame]

I mean, we should all be saying fine fettle more

Also sharp as mustard. (Though he hasn't said that once this year)

 

[Braulio]

Beautiful throw triple flip

Though the meeeehh song, after the brits this is even worse

 

[MacMadame]

deep knee bend. For those who think fabulous knee bend was cheating.

 

[Karen-W]

DanTsi - 3tw - very nice! "Solid start" Chris being a jerk to us, lol. SBS 3s - he stepped out; throw 3f - gorgeous! People here need to stop hating on this song. I like it. It's at least several steps above most generically bland pairs music selections we get from too many teams. I reserve the right to change my opinion the next time we get a competition with this song back-to-back like at SCI, lol.

pink and grey: so '80s, even if the designs aren't

his sweater with shoulder sparkles is slightly '80s - if it was velour.

Her dress is pure fug in any decade

 

[Messalina]

I try, but I just can't hate Ed Sheeran

 

[genevieve]

I try, but I just can't. Hate Ed Sheeran

fixed it for you

 

[MacMadame]

Does Chris say "real quality" a lot? It's not on the list but I can add it for later.

 

[genevieve]

Who is this skater who just landed her jumps?!?

 

[Rukia]

k/o have really gotten to be pretty steady on their short programs this season

Constantly

 

[MacMadame]

out of the top drawer!

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Everything is going so great for them but those spins are still a hot mess

 

[floridaice]

Ellie Kam 2.0

 

[tony]

Little bobble by Danny with his upper body on the change-foot in the combo spin, and it wasn't really in sync at all.

Otherwise, continuing to be impressed by the progress of this team. Very good!

 

[genevieve]

Danny almost bit it in that sbs spin but overall it's so nice to see how they (well, Kam) are skating with so much more confidence. That did not suck at all!

 

[skatfan]

Best I’ve seen them skate!

 

[floridaice]

 

[MacMadame]

didn’t put a foot wrong

 

[Karen-W]

KamOShea - 3tw - okay; SBS 3s - very nice! Throw 3lo - looked eh - maybe a bit short on rotation? WAY out of synch on the SBS spins. Very frantic flailing to end the step sequence; good lift for the end. TES is below MetBeru. It's going to be interesting to see if the judges give them the PCS bump necessary to go into first.

"did not put a foot wrong!"

 

[Jay42]

Didn't put a foot wrong

 

[Sally1214]

Ellie and Danny.

Okay, they were in and out of synch on the spin but I'm choosing to overlook that.

 

[Messalina]

Does Chris say "real quality" a lot? It's not on the list but I can add it for later.

And he's on a "mighty fine" bender tonight

 

[Karen-W]

I have two different ways to achieve bingo. C'mon, Chris!

 

[genevieve]

ono is this sad emo Joan Jett?

 

[floridaice]

change the light bulbs

 

[MacMadame]

I have two different ways to achieve bingo. C'mon, Chris!

Check off "what the doctor ordered" for that lightbulb cleaning comment
