2018 Skate America Pairs Short Program

[CellarDweller]

Oh Timothy.....the SBS claims another victim.

Throw jump was an issue too.

Hard day for pairs

 

[LadyB]

Whoever said the sbs are tricky today was damn right.

Ashley sure does like being a flapper and wearing fringe.

It's a good program but it needs to be cleaner.

 

[Ichatdelune]

So far Hase/Seegert is the only team that I saw go clean.

 

[Princessroja]

Yiiiiikes. That said, they performed the heck out of it, and that last spin was really nice.

 

[jillredhand]

Even with the SBS error, Cain and Leduc made a great case for paying attention to them all season.

 

[Noxchild]

despite the fall, very entertaining skate by Cain and Leduc! they definitely seem the most polished of the skaters we've seen tonight

 

[ruffledgrouse]

Love this program, too bad the acoustics in the rink are so bad it's hard to hear the music.

I'd probably change the color to something other than bubblegum pink, but Ashley rocks the fringe

honestly they should be first here so far

Even a deeper pink would be better imo.

They performed that well.

Ashley CAIN / Timothy LEDUC (USA)

Let's see if they can capitalize on their two wins on the Senior Bs!

Good flow-out on the 3Twist, a little crash though. Ouch, a slip from LeDuc on the 3Los, a shame since they have been bang-on on this element before this. Step-out on the throw 3Lutz, but great height. A bit labored on the lift on the entry from LeDuc. Fine on the death spiral, Level 3. Good, fun choreography through the footwork with very good clear steps. Wonderful change of edge in the catchfoot camel. A bit of an extra rotation from LeDuc on the upright I-spin but quite well-synced throughout.

I like the interpretation and their personality through this music. I think they might have been too excited and they weren't as secure in places than they in their prior performances this year. The full package is there for this program once it's clean. Hoping they have a better long program.

Short Program: 57.72 Total, 28.92 TES, 29.80 PCS, Deduction -1

LeDuc's styling doesn't really fit with hers, I don't think. Especially the beard.

Fun program, liked the choreography, and she sells it like the rent is due. Too bad about the errors.

 

[WeakAnkles]

Cursed ice night. She double footed the twist, the fall on the sbs jumps. Touch down on the throw. The lift looked like TWO days work.

On the plus side, it's a personality program with genuine personality.

Someone please do a sage ceremony on the ice before the Men. Thank you!

 

[moriel]

T/M, please save the evening

 

[CellarDweller]

honestly they should be first here so far

Agreed. The team in first should be behind them.

 

[SnowWhite]

Stunning dress

 

[GGFan]

I've been so busy with work I didn't even realize Skate America started

I'll try to stick around for a while but I'm exhausted. At least there no Candyman tonight

 

[Colonel Green]

Wait, how is that behind the Knierims?

Please, Evgenia and Vladimir, clean SBS!

Break open the book of shadows!
