2018 Nebelhorn Trophy Pairs Free Skate

[pearly]

Is Alexa's last name really pronounced "Shimeka"?

 

[ancientpeas]

Ack.. aren't Vanessa and Morgan skating to Wicked Game?

FWIW, Starr Andrews' Whitney FS from last season totally slayed, so I do see the possibility of a Whitney program doing well. Deanna's such a performer, but Nate needs to catch up.

I think she used her own cover. Was quite impress at how multi-talented she is.

Yeah :/ different cover but still.....

 

[ancientpeas]

Because you run the risk of dating yourself and skating to your grandfather's music.

But they will skate to the beatles and rolling stones with no such issues? Or Mozart?

She had both! But she did a FS that was all Whitney.

 

[jillredhand]

Wow, two throws in a row. That's ambitious, if they fell on the first one it'd be very hard to recover for the second.

This from the K's is pretty bad, too. In all sorts of ways.

Disappointing.

The young Russian team deserves to win this.

Kinda of an observation after seeing some of the comments on Jason's Simon and Garfunkel performance. The costume didn't help, but a lot of people were saying how dated the music was.

I guess it's YMMV -- Some people consider Beatles and Rolling Stones timeless, I guess.

I miss Aljona on the ice :sad21:

She looks great in that leather jacket though :cool14:

 

[MaiKatze]

The audience reaction is mine too....polite clapping and then silence....

 

[WeakAnkles]

If the DoubleKs hit those two throws at the end, that will be quite something.

The jumps are quite something but I'm going to be nice.

These two! They make it hard to be a fan of them.

She's skating with Bruno in the gala I heard

 

[SnowWhite]

I like Alexa's dress, but I'm not digging the turtleneck for Chris. It looks like it has extra fabric around the neck/chest area or something.

I bet she's thinking, "What the hell have I gotten myself into?"

 

[ancientpeas]

Alexa has great hair.

The Russians come from way behind to win... good for them.

Not great pair skating tonight.

 

[Mrs. P]

Nah, Aljona's never been one to shy away from a challenge or growth opportunity. She picked out Massot and helped him (and he did the work too) go from mid-range European skater to OGM.
