2016 Finlandia Trophy Pairs FS

[WeakAnkles]

Karne the audience ADORED them, they got the biggest cheers even just in the warmup. They've been the talk of the event so far. Everybody really wants to see them here again in March :yes:

I'm a big fan. Like I said, they've got that It Factor in spades.

Is that the background music? It sounds like a program...

Edit: Wow, burn. Hongbo Zhao posted this in the YT chat: "I think in the usa there is no talented female in pairs category, that's the reason of the usa's failure in pairs."

I don' think that person is real Hongbo Zhao. Anyone can name their account as they want. Besides, YouTube is geoblocked in China.

Oh my goodness, you are so right--I'd forgotten YT is blocked there. Phew! I was thinking, how unprofessional!

The Beatles are known for charging an arm and a leg (and probably most of the small intestine) to use their music. Greedy greedy greedy.

Gotta repeat myself, as fast as these pages go. It isn't "the Beatles" who are known for this. Yoko Ono controls a lot of stuff still. And somehow Michael Jackson ended up owning the copyrights to all Beatles music. Now his estate, but I'm not sure what the current deal is. I know Paul does not own the copyrights to his own music from those years.

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay! And they most likely will see them again - Katia and Harley got their worlds minimums here :yes2:

I liked Kayne/O'Shea at Nationals last season, but this program does nothing for me, and even worse, for them. The only way these type of dated programs should make their way onto the international scene is through extremely powerful & fast skaters. Hope they rethink this program, or their approach to the elements.

I hope Ashley and Timothy are invited to a GP event if there is any vacant slot in a near future because as you see, their development is so fast and getting better and better.

To me, part of why they are so exciting is that their basics are so good. Now they can just add the frosting of style on that enormous cake of talent. They're like a pairs tabula rasa - I'm really looking forward to following their career as they develop their own style. I believe they can go very far.

Hurry up stream, less interviewy, more skatey, it's 2:30am

Does anyone have video of this team? I'm intrigued now

Agreed. I think the program is a misfit for them with lyrical skating. The packaging is also not convincing.

Tarah and Danny ... they've added so much to their choreography this season, both SP and LP. I'm sure that it's competition nerves. Almost none of their elements were done as well as last season. Hey, it takes awhile to integrate new moves and complexity into their performance. It's gonna get better.

Ashley and Tim have the advantage of having competed these programs 2 or 3 times already. I'm thrilled for them! They are really impressive to have been working together only 5 or 6 months. I love Tim's artistry, I noticed it when he competed with DeeDee too. I think he improved working on cruises for 2 years.

I really enjoyed the Aussies' skate. Katia has gorgeous posture and small nuances that make such a difference in a pair. Her gorgeous back, head attitudes, and lovely arm movements ... I esp. noticed all these things.

The cameramen must've smoked something on the break

Not sure why they didn't just use the instrumental version...
