2018 Rostelecom Cup Pairs Free Skate

Well at least they didn't mime answering the phone...

Great job by the Austrians, though must be a bit frustrating; if they could have done that in Helsinki they'd have made the podium (in fact, their score here would have gotten them silver there).

I was just talking to my husband last night about how incredibly uneven the events have been this year. It makes the GPF for me far less enjoyable.

This pair is getting some really generous GOE's for elements which are frankly very messy.

I thought he did during a crossover!

The curse of RosteleBOMB strikes again

 

[Weathergal]

Love how protective Denis seems of her.

This pair is getting some really generous GOE's for elements which are frankly very messy.

And a program that is frankly very Junior.

Agree. There first lift should have been -GOE, she was off balanced.

That being said, with a bit more maturity and the right packaging I think this team can be great.

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Seriously though, who cut this music? What were they thinking?

 

[readernick]

And a program that is frankly very Junior.

I am still hopeful that the PCS will be fair. (I am not holding my breath though). Moskvina's pairs are so much better.

 

[tabsy]

Could anyone tell on the replay what caused Daria to fall?

 

[kevinVchicago]

I like them both, just not on the same garment.

I think I like the surprise of two sides. Hopefully her performance will have as much personality as her dress. [emoji4]

Thankfully I must have been looking away.

We should start a list of Cornball Miming Moves.

I'd start with pretending to conduct an orchestra, "playing" a musical instrument. And yes, answering a phone.

I agree... The lifts looked tentative and scary yet got positive GOE.

 

[Ravyn Rant]

Ear-bleeding music, eye-blinding pink dress, voice-overs...I should have hated this, yet this team has potential and I'd love to see them with better programs.

Yup pretty generous. The lifts need work.

 

[readernick]

I agree that they have potential. I just want everyone to be judged fairly based on what they put out in a given competition. Their GOE and PCS were too high for what they put out today.

 

[pearly]

I am considering buying shares in that La Strada costume factory. It's the one thing that will never go out of business.

 

[DanseMacabre]

That seemed like a generous score for Daria and Denis...
