Worlds 2025 Pairs Free: “Slipping Up To Boston”

[kwanfan1818]

Incorrect.

2 spots + 1 OQE entry - USA
2 spots - GER, ITA & CAN
1 spot + 1 OQE entry - JPN, GEO, HUN, AUS, UZB

5+8 = 13 Spots awarded

1 spot - GBR, POL & NED

16 spots total

ETA - Worlds
3 spots - USA
2 spots - JPN, GER, ITA, GEO, CAN, HUN, AUS, UZB
1 spot - everyone else

Ugh, I forgot about Hocke/Kunkel.

Sorry to bother, but can the teams with 2 spots try to get a third in the qualifying event?

Only members who had two entrants but earned 2 + 1 OQE entry/3 for 2026 Worlds, ie, the US, can try to get a third in the qualifying event.

Similarly, those members who had one entrant who earned 1 + 1 OQE entry/2 for 2026 Worlds can try to get a second in the qualifying event.

And I'm going to wake up earlier than I normally would to watch all of them. Time will tell if I regret this.

I already know I would. I think I'm gonna hold out til group 4 or 5.

 

[Matryeshka]

I'm trying to decide if today's "moment" for me was Aymoz, Minnie + Partner, or Alisa emoting like she had saved all the emotions for this one moment.

 

[JoannaLouise]

Riku on the tallest step is still shorter than the other 2 women!

 

[Jarrett]

KMT is really excited about the dance, oh poor innocent soul wait till you have watched 36 RDs

I'm actually rather excited. Ice Dance went from my least favorite disciple I skipped almost completely every event to something I can get into!

 

[MacMadame]

Oh I know we CAN do it. But SHOULD we subject the World to more US pairs.

Howe annoys me. Fern annoys me. Kam is starting to annoy me. I guess I'm OK with ShiNagy.

Think of all the different ways Chris can say his last name!

 

[Barbara Manatee]

Because the USFS won't be happy that they nearly shat the pot here and blew the chance at a 3rd spot in Milano-Cortina. KamOShea have to step up and start delivering consistently on their potential.

Why on earth would USFS be unhappy about a scenario that didn't happen? They should and will be delighted that the US will have 3 spots for Worlds and likely the Olympics. Did anyone see that coming? Great work K/O and E/M!

I'm a sucker for not missing things.

 

[MacMadame]

What are the Hand Things Over people wearing?

 

[Jay42]

Hey they got real flag! Nice!

 

[Badams]

I'm really happy with the results here. I love the Japanese team. I'm kind of surprised that the Canadian team is off the podium, but I kinda love this podium. And the American teams really pulled it off this year!

 

[Amy L]

Gosh, I love missing things. Late for the party? Whoopsie, I thought you meant 7 Pacific! Your kid has a concert at school? Oh, wait, did I miss? Oh nooooooo

 

[Matryeshka]

What are the Hand Things Over people wearing?

I'm assuming it's the Boston skyline?

 

[MacMadame]

I'm assuming it's the Boston skyline?

But why do they have the same silhouette as the guards in the Wizard of Oz?

 

[Jay42]

Lol at Minerva and Sara crouching a little so Riku doesn't look quite so short.

Of the only team to have 3 spots at Worlds and possibly the Olympics next year who had it being the USA?

Well, apart from me?

Mind, I actually didn't think Canada would lose their 3rd spot, because I figured SDDes and PerMich would come through reasonably well.

I hoped Italy could also manage to do what the USA did, but I had less confidence in GhiAmbro than I did in the home crowd power behind EfiMit and KamOShea getting the job done.

I’m sure dreading 12 hours in arena tomorrow but also looking forward. Night, all.

Impressed by your stamina. Going lighter tomorrow.

I’m that weirdo who likes the RDs. And how can I miss the women’s final?

TBH if I hadn’t promised my SIL I’d rather skip the men Saturday night. Past the last group there are so few I want to watch.

Skate Canada inexplicably posting on Instagram a “mission accomplished” caption over “securing two spots” . Many things they could have said but losing a third Olympic spot that was easily within reach is not in any capacity mission accomplished.

I know it’s not like, the CEO or something running the IG account, but read the room a little guys.

Wow. That's... Propaganda level spin.

Wow. That's... Propaganda level spin.

Maybe they're testing out how things will be when they are our 51st state?

Is the post gone? I don’t see it on their IG account?

Sorry, it’s a story not a post. But it’s still there. It’s over a video of Deanna, Max, Lia and Trennt being interviewed together.

 

[kwanfan1818]

For the Olympics, I expected Canada to keep three, the US and Italy to keep two, and for Germany to be the team that had the best chance to earn the OQE entry for a possible third. (And then promptly forgot that Hocke/Kunkel were in it ) I wasn't sure if Japan would be able to keep two.

It's a good thing I don't bet on horse races.

 

[Aceon6]

Settling in at the hotel with a glass of Pinot Noir. Pairs didn’t disappoint. Yes, there were a few bad skates and a couple of “what could have beens”, but the knowledgeable crowd really got behind the teams that did deliver. Obs, Alisa and Misha. But the cheers were just as loud for Minerva and Nikita. It was a shame they couldn’t overcome the 3 point deficit, but Riku and Ryuichi did what they had to do.

It’s a shame that Sara and Niccolo chose the music they chose. Boston is as Italian as it is Irish, and I’m sure they would have gotten more support with something more upbeat. The Georgians did their job, but it looked like a job. And O Canada. That was a mess from all 3 teams with an easy panel.

Ah, I see it now. Some classic Canadian passive aggressiveness perhaps?

I'm going to try and see it ALL tomorrow AND Saturday. I may sleep from the end of the exhibition straight through my sightseeing day... but I'm going to see it all! No more "lobbychicking" for me though. It was much easier to recover 20 years ago.
