PCoSp - bit after music

Wow, clean skate with big elements. Seemed bit timid in expression, though

FS: 57.07+54.97 = 112.04, 166.11, 1/10

 

[TheBallerina]

Wow that was a strong skate! They certainly recovered after the mistakes from the SP. And I won't forget their costumes too soon, that's for sure [emoji4]

 

[flanker]

P/S - very physically demanding program, but they got it. Not perfect, but very solid.

 

[WeakAnkles]

She has some beautiful throw landings.

Yes she does. It certainly was loads better than their short. They do need to work on their lifts and expression (early days...).

Well that's certainly a whole lotta costume for him isn't it?

 

[Spirals for Miles]

please, K/I, be clean

 

[ancientpeas]

Polina is adorable but she does not look 15 to me.

 

[flanker]

Stream!

Strong skate, she fistpumps. Lots of acrobatic details

FS: 61.19+58.57 = 119.76, 180.59, 1/13

 

[ancientpeas]

They are both very expressive and he certainly seems to put her down with care.

 

[Spirals for Miles]

Thanks to the stream, I missed the first throw but the rest looked pretty solid

 

[BillNeal]

Those grunting and gasping noises were distracting but I like their performance, she is a little fireball.

Is there only one throw per FS now?

 

[WeakAnkles]

There does seem to be a trend, at least among the Juniors, for their Pairs and Dance teams to skate in a more contemporary style. Of those I've seen so far, this was the best of that approach. That first lift was killer diller. Huge twist

I enjoyed that.

 

[flanker]

From what I've seen, great! I doubt they would miss gold.

 

[TheBallerina]

I love them!! They are one of my fav pairs because i find them very original in all their choices..some great lifts, transitions, beside great technical content and expressiveness [emoji4][emoji176]

 

[Spirals for Miles]

I would love another all-Russian podium but I don't want these two to mess up ahhh

 

[ancientpeas]

The stream has gone wonky.

 

[ancientpeas]

Aborted lift. and a weird fall on the sbs.

 

[Spirals for Miles]

Awww

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Well, they fought for it :sad4:
