2016 Finlandia Trophy Pairs FS

[WeakAnkles]

H/S, music cuts courtesy of Cuisinart.

Which is a shame because what they do have going for them are lovely long lines. But boy do they need to work on the exits from their lifts, which give new meaning to the word "cumbersome."

This song cover is BEYOND NOT OKAY AT THIS HOUR.

Agreed. Like, what's wrong with original Eleanor Rigby by Beatles?

 

[LRK]

They kept the arrow-smack-gasp sound though.

Is my defence that it's 1:30am? It's going to be my defence anyway.

Use whatever excuse is at hand - that's what I always do, anyway.

I enjoyed the German couple's skating,, Hase and Seegert. Oh, they look so young! Very nice smooth look on the ice. Only way the music could have been improved is to use the Beatles' rendition. :luv17:

It's called "Dedication."

LOL I've noticed the camera cutting away every time Tarah and Danny go to jump! It only really stayed on them while they stopped to talk to Jim P.

The audience is full of karnes! They only applauded enthusiastically for the Aussies.

I love:luv17: Tarah's dress and hair. Both today and yesterday.

The greedy and exorbitant prices they charge for using their music.

Sad to see Minerva so upset. I quite like Hase/Seegert and this program is very nice. Better luck for them for the next time!

pairs chicken is back and not okay with the man being on one foot in a lift

 

[Sackie]

This pair has some nice qualities but they seem slow at times and some of their lifts have been scary - as if the guy was about to lose it.

 

[tulosai]

At times it was obvious they are still a very new team, and the throws still need lots of work, but overall a nice skate from these two. I do hope next year they might explore different music choices...

 

[karne]

go katia and harley!

 

[skylark]

I like that Ashley was able to get in a single toe after she put her hand down on the first jump. they get credit for a combo, I believe.

My screen froze half way thru their skate .... but I really loved what I saw. What I love about Ashley is that she obviously loves skating, and emotes. Tim has beautiful artistry and they look great together.

 

[WeakAnkles]

This is my first time watching Can and LeDuc and I was pleasantly surprised. The program is a Disney Princess schmaltzfest, they need major work on their timing, they need to up their tech difficulty, but I was really pleasantly surprised. I think they have a ton of potential and I also think LeDuc may have the most innate natural grace of any American male pairs skater. Looking forward to see how they develop.

The greedy and exorbitant prices they charge for using their music.

Seriously? Like they charged Adam Rippon last season for using Beatles?

 

[Mrs. P]

They scored 104+ and they were excited. Happy for them!

 

[karne]

Current mood: in love with Katia and Harley's perfectly in sync 3T-2T-2T SBS jumps

 

[tulosai]

I actually really like the Australians! I think they could benefit from working with a lift specialist just on the smoothness and overall flow of their lifts, but I think they have a lot of potential and look forward to seeing them progress!

 

[LRK]

That was really enjoyable - what a nice pair!
