2022 Skate America Pairs Short Program

Thanks @Tomtom

I'm having computer and phone problems, and I can't access my Peacock account an old Kindle fire tablet. So I'm stuck and will miss out w/o an accessible streaming site on the Internet due to Peacock's harsh no archives policy! Grrrrr

Good to see Robin

And he "beat" Aljona. Have the met as coaches before?

Music aside, this is a sweet program and I hope this team stays together because there's potential here. Lift was lovely and I appreciate the effort to stay in sync on the SBS spins even if they were a bit slow.

They really should have made fewer events with pairs…

Why? There are already few enough.

Chicken/egg. Without experience, how can teams get better?

Italian team is adorable

OK, so obviously some technical problems. But I gotta say, there's a lot to like about this young American pair.

And I love this piece from West Side Story.

We're down to only the top two pairs remaining, and I still think they're the best pair so far in terms of the program itself.

They were faster and smoother and had a much more engaging program. Of course, it doesn't really matter if the elements have that many problems, but they're a pair I'll be looking for again.

Are you against watching the replays on ISU YouTube channel?

Deanna and Maxime. They are 39 and 30. Awesome.

Grand Prix is an expensive place to get ice time

In a death spiral, is it preferable for the ladies back to be low and flat or rlly arched?

It depends on which edge the death spiral is on. If it's an outside edge spiral (refers to the edge of the woman's skate that stays on the ice), that's the kind where their knee is kind of high and their back is very arched, since the woman's head must be below her skating knee. Inside spirals, that's the ones where they're more stretched out and whole body is closer to the ice. It's still important for her head to be as close to the ice as possible, but I forget the requirement of which body part it has to be below.

I know these are young teams, but they seem to be skating really slow. Also, would have thought some of their music would be a little more contemporary. Pairs was my favorite during the previous 8 years. Hopefully more young skaters will become Pairs teams.

Woah that throw jump dang

Hot damn, give them all the points

 

[GGFan]

I absolutely adore Deanna. Her intensity and commitment are everything!

 

[Carol1]

Deanna--like her partnership--continues to age like a fine wine! I'm enthralled but this wonderful performance.

I'm also jealous, since I age more like Ikea furniture: some parts quickly get rusty, while others fall off and need to be replaced.

Grand Prix is an expensive place to get ice time

It isn’t ice time. It is world quality competition experience. I’m sure most of these teams can already hit in practice.
