2015 Four Continents Pairs Free Skate Feb 13 Seoul Time

[Lota]

...Well that was rough around the edges...

 

[gravy]

Do they usually have troubles with their lifts? He looked like he was having trouble lifting her. The last one, too.

 

[Mrs. P]

They might fall behind all the American teams...

 

[tulosai]

If that TES holds they must have really gotten the levels. I feel it's quite high for what we saw.

She's not fat by any means, but she looks heavier. She has looked to be getting progressively heavier since the split with Moscovitch.

It seems that Kirsten is still wearing the pants in the partnership. He needs to stop being so passive.

 

[Krunchii]

The lifts are just bad and the 3ThLo always looks tilted to me, they did it at Nationals I was surprised they landed it

 

[peg]

Thank you. Just something I often wondered.


Just saw somebody holding a sign for Lubov and Dylan:

"Attack on the top"

Does anybody have any idea what this is about?!

CaroLiza_fan

Not sure but I think it might be a reference to basically aim for the top

 

[wordsworthgirl]

I know I'm going to hell but I laughed out loud when they botched the first lift. It was just too awkward.

I laughed and feared at the same time. That was so awkward, but seriously, every time he lifts her, it looks hard. Do they not have enough of a height differential?

What is his history?

 

[tulosai]

Yes. Quite honestly, he is my new 'weakest lifter in elite skating'.

LOL. Actually they just scare me. I keep expecting some calamity with them.

 

[Sandpiper]

Shame about the fall. The rest was fairly solid for a new team. And Kirsten is one of the few pairs girls who can jump. I'm never worried about her.

Chinese commentator talking about how amazing Hao Zhang is on the twists, compared to these small fry.

EDIT: Ouch, that score. I guess they got something invalidated...?

 

[peg]

I know Luba and Dylan's program are a little on the nose but I LOVE THEM. Dylan is so expressive and they have such good chemistry and feel for the music. I can't wait to see where they go from here

I agree!!

Yes my partner watched Canadian Nats with me and I was complaining about what a bad lifter he is and he was like well she's not really the thinnest and I was like you're nuts... but I do think she's gained weight. With that said she is less than 5 feet. It's not likely he's going to find a smaller partner overall.

 

[GF2445]

Well that was a step back

Yeah, I wonder if the weight gain was intentional (muscle bulk) or not. He had trouble lifting Margaret Purdy, too, but she was bigger.

 

[CanadianSkaterGuy]

Indeed, especially since they nailed the SBS jumps! Something just isn't clicking with this team...

It is a personal best for MT/M v. 2.0, though.

 

[ruffledgrouse]

I thought everybody had learned to keep seated in the KnC until the camera left, but here's #7! The coach didn't even care when Kirsten looked over, he was just like "I'm outtie"

 

[sses1]

Michael will probably drop Kristen one day if he hasn't already. He needs to fix his technique not only in the lifts but the throws too. He's not gentle with her, its rather terrifying.

Marinaro has never been the greatest lifter. Dylan, on the other hand, excels in that area.
