2021 Skate America: Pairs Short Program

[Princessroja]

Oh Jessica... that is an unfortunate costume.

 

[BlissfulSynergy]

Wow! I recognize that people in the skating community love this Japanese pair team, because they represent Japan coming up in the world in pairs, and going for a team medal at the Olympics. But please, those scores. This is the epitome of political favor. All elements practically over 1.00 + The judges have already decided where they want to place the Japanese team to stay in Japan fed's good graces.

On the dismount, she fell on his arm, and she saved the throw landing. Neither element deserved the well over 1.50 + points they got. They skated better at Autumn Classic, but not here. This is wrong, period. They did not deserve 72 for that. Maybe 67 or 68, not 72.

nice choice of musing there
stands out big time

 

[figureskatingandrainbows]

It's an unfortunate music choice too, the original is better imo

 

[karne]

Japan has a legit competitive pairs team now and I am 100% here for this turn of events.

 

[Brenda_Bottems]

They may be happy with their score but I feel they were low-b****d.

You can make your point without devolving into vulgarity,dear.

 

[momrk]

Let's hope skate is better than costume and music... I really like this pair and want them to do well

 

[Ichatdelune]

C/J are my favourtie US pair team and I'm glad to see them survive their skate, but now I can't breathe and somebody call an ambulance

 

[text_skate]

That was sooo good. Such joy. Exciting

 

[Jontor]

As a new expert at this, I'd say to go into 4th?

 

[chasingneverland]

Great energy!

 

[rain]

Love to see the fight from Calalang and Johnson!

 

[readernick]

Lift and twist absolutely amazing. They also had some level issues.

 

[coldblueeyes]

Good effort for C/J. But after a very clean skate I didn't feel as much of their energy as I wanted.

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Program not my cup of tea but great job Jessica and Brian! After all they’ve been through what a triumph! Should make them the top Americans in he SP.

 

[LadyB]

my fave USA team ever

I must admit, they've got something exciting about them.

 

[el henry]

The crowd so happy for Jessica and Brian after what they have been through, and I am here for it.

 

[figureskatingandrainbows]

That was a revenge skate through and through, and Jessica really sold every second of it

 

[cathlen]

Wow! I'm glad I woke up in the middle of the night! Probably my fav American team

 

[Dogo]
