2023 Skate America Pairs Free Skate

[skylark]

Please. No more scary lifts.

Isabelle and Ryan had some lovely elements, and their first lift seemed to lift their confidence.

 

[FlossieH]

They have a lot of potential. They did really well given how inexperienced they are with high profile events. The final lift scared me, though - no idea how they saved it!

 

[4everchan]

what is crashing most? Stream or lifts?

 

[TontoK]

What a lovely expression on Isabelle's face. Really nice skate for this team. Choreo by Rohene Ward by the way to Hallelujah. Coached by Meno/Sand , et al. Former coaches Rockne & Stefania

She has a charming smile! Not perfect by any stretch, but final group in their first GP outing as a substitute? And a probably top 4 finish?

They should be proud.

Chelsea and Balazs next. No scary stuff please.

 

[labgoat]

[momrk]

[FlossieH]

New personal best for MArtins/Bedard

Go Isabelle and Ryan!!!! Very cool entry into that lift...Oops aborted lift. They need some speed and more experience. Jenni will whip them into shape! Good first Senior GP outing...Reward -- a beautiful pink stuffie from moonvine...Good effort guys. Proud of you!

I can't with this dress, it's so beautiful

 

[CellarDweller]

I'm not having any issues with the Peacock stream, other than missing the first pair.

I can't believe I'm going to say this, I like the color of his top. LOL

 

[Ruthypegs]

no ISU is fine

[RatedPG]

[cheerknithanson]

Definitely some work needed on the throws, but their lifts and twist are fantastic and they upgraded their SBS combo, which bodes well to their potential. This team is certainly going places once they nail down those throws.

 

[Dawn825]

I wish this had gone better. Very slow and tentative other than the lifts.

 

[4everchan]

Nicely done but they will have to get their SBS jumps and throws. They have such good qualities.

 

[labgoat]

Chelsea has such beautiful lines. Her and Balasz interact very well, he is so careful with her. Lovely interpretation, but errors continue on her sbs jumps and one faulty throw. I look forward to their progress this year. Very ethereal skate.

 

[Jumping_Bean]

These NHL rinks are just actually a hazard at this level of skating. With almost every pair and ice dance team, I'm afraid they'll run straight into the boards.

 

[momrk]

Good job from such a new partnership- yes, errors, but what potential!
