2016 JGP Mordovia Pairs SP

[Layback11]

I just checked the results after waking up and let me just say, I feel smart for putting Mishina/Mirzoev first in my predictions! They must've done extremely well!

much better than B/S tho too slow for that music


SPb rules today!!:agree: congrats Tamara!

 

[s_parks]

Nice strong elements. Kinda gawky and slow, but I'm probably being too harsh for a pair team of 14/16 years old.

My feelings too--too lethargic for the admittedly delightful music. Love, love, love that music, and plus, it reminds me of Kailani Craine, which is always a bonus (since she used it last year).

 

[Sugarpova]

2nd!!!!!!!! good judging!

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

I look 6-8 years younger too. And sure wasn't looking 14 when I was at the age. There are many people looking younger, as well as these who looks very mature (i.e. Anna Pogorilaya whe she was 16). And It's kind of hurtful when people laugh when I tell them I'm an adult...

Funny, my cousin's step-daughter is exactly the same. She's 20 now, but still barely looks 14. And she has the same complaints.

But, here's something she linked to on Facebook the other day:

Cute team. Love, love, love that blue dress, but I'm not sure the music was helping them. It seemed too grand and too... what's the word where there's no discernible beat and the music is everywhere at once? Hard to keep rhythm for some of those elements when the music is doing its own thing.

Yeah, everyone tells me so. I was just making a point that look is not everything. And I do look older when dressed up nicely

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

Was looking forward to seeing Kops / Tsoglin, largely due to him doing well in Singles in the past.

They didn't disappoint!

What were they saying?

I've got the picture full screen on the TV, so can't see the chat.

Plus I was finishing the Short Dance during the interval, so wasn't even on the Pairs stream.

[CaroLiza_fan]

Right. Now for the couple I was most looking forward to seeing.

Intrigued to see what Yu Meng is like with Zhong.
