2016 Four Continents Pairs Free Skate

semosk8tfan · Feb 20, 2016

The camera angles and director choices for 4CC has left a lot to be desired. I got sidetracked during the sbs spins trying to figure out what that blob was in the bottom of the shot (a judge's bald head).

Just saw Tae Ok RYOM / Ju Sik KIM's skate. They are really good!

not all French Canadians... but if you see two French surnames, it's a good chance it's from Quebec....

it has to do with two social policies/trends

1) marriage is not really happening anymore so parents give both their names

2) women keep their maiden name even after marriage, so another incentive to give children both names.

Ah. Didn't realise that was the background to the long surname. I just thought it was a posh double-barrelled name.

So, French Canadians do like the Spanish and Portuguese then. I'm happy to hear that. I always liked the tradition of honouring both parents.

Mmmm. Francis and Sumire are considerably behind the Koreans on TES.

now... maxime is also from quebec... he doesn't have two surnames... but you can tell he is from quebec since he is dark and sexy

5RLi
3S - she fell (ur?)
PCoSp3p
2T+2T
5ALi - bit strained entry
FCCoSp3p

Lots of little mistakes, they are generally clunky looking pair

FS: 47.86+51.89-1.00 = 98.75, 148.82, 2/3

I'm not sure if this pair will last. I hope I'm wrong.

For real? That is interesting.

They both need to hit the gym. Looks like an accident waiting to happen.

I was wondering why we sent these guys instead of MT/M2. Possibly because Kirsten still hasn't recovered from being flung onto the ice instead of up on that infamous twist.

Giselle · Feb 20, 2016

Sumire SUTO / Francis BOUDREAU AUDET and Vanessa GRENIER / Maxime DESCHAMPS did not look secure in the lifts.

I hope Gauthier and Marcotte will put emphasis on the lifts during the off-season.

They were off ice and less ready I think.

Pretty good group coming up

4everchan · Feb 20, 2016

yup... it's been like this for about 20-30 years...

Very interesting. Thank you so much for that info. :bow:

You know, it never ceases to amaze me the things you find out on this forum!

They may be more interesting than the final group.
