2022 Olympics Team Event Day3: Pairs Free Skate

[readernick]

Ugh, Judges were ready to put J\R in the 70s at one point this season
but now they can only get 65 PCS for a clean skate? bummer

But, honestly the 65 is more in line with their current level of performance, isn't it? They are still a new team and their performance shows it. They never seem comfortable. They are getting better though and would probably deserve 70 in the future.

Miura/ Kihara on the other hand are very evenly matched.

Is there a stream with a normal tech box or does everyone have the traffic light one?

 

[figureskatingandrainbows]

Riku how did you save that throw?

Is there a stream with a normal tech box or does everyone have the traffic light one?

In Germany we have traffic light as well.

 

[lariko]

That save on Th3Lo was cool!

 

[EdgeCall]

Wow! Very nice as well! Does Japan finally get a hang on pairs?

M/K!

 

[Dr. Jenn]

That was another skate that looked really good to me, but there were a lot of yellow boxes! I love this team, but I don't find this program terribly exciting.

 

[anonymoose_au]

R/R are doing incredible!

The team of strong leg muscles are killing it right now.

They make me smile!

 

[moonvine]

They are so adorable.

 

[clairexmarie]

Omg what a skate from Japan!!! Love the reactions

 

[Hyena]

Wow, amazing grit and save from Riku on that second throw.

 

[GGFan]

I had to log on because of how much I loved M/K's performance. There's an infectious love for skating they bring every time. A pleasure to watch.

 

[YuBluByMe]

Ya’ll see that deep knee bend just now? Goid job on that!

 

[skatesofgold]

Yay! Another clean program!

 

[figureskatingandrainbows]

Wow. They had a clean skate when they needed it most. Also, they are so adorable

 

[ladykk]

Save on the throw was amazing! I love the speed and attack of this team, although I won't be sad to see them with a different program next season. I don't think this one highlights their joy and power.

 

[3dsushi]

I love this pair. They're not there yet. But give them time and they will be one of the best.

Beautiful skate from Riku and Ryuichi! Loved it!
