2021 Gran Premio d'Italia: Pairs Free Skate

[Silvia451]

This program makes me very emotional.

I'm probably in the minority here but I hate that death spiral position, she and Sui both do it and it just does not look good.

Shen Xue did that same move forever ago as well, and hers was the best (still not the prettiest).

Then maybe you could honor her with that emoji as well. Jin Yang does not do all the work alone.

Some people forget frequently to mention the boys in the equation, so I think it's only fair if some of us sometimes focus on the male in a particular context.
You're right, it always take two to tango -even in pair skating. But it's different parts of the team that catches our eyes at times.

I need them to skate this program clean in Beijing so I can cry like a baby.

Should be another pretty easy win, that last lift was scary though.

Must been exhausting going from Canada to Italy in less than a week. Great job considering, with a clean 3s too.

and especially when the camera people also seem to focus on the male skaters...

Some smaller mistakes (throw jump on two legs) but overally nothing to doubt about.

Someday I would like to see a detailed interview with a leading choreographer where they explain why they choose the covers they do.

Here, for example. Why suddenly change to the different cover, with the male vocal? To my ear it’s kind of similar, so it’s not a mood change or something. To me it is just jarring, and doesn’t add to what they are doing, at all.

 

[skylark]

Really scary how that lift slipped, but was saved beautifully. Bridge doesn't give me chills yet, but it probably will

TES went down, I wonder what got reviewed

 

[s_parks]

Lost levels i guess
Fraction higher pcs than in canada

 

[3T3T]

I thought Sui was coming down on the last lift but they both saved it. I don’t think they have there two best programmes this year. The vocals are a bit dreary. Her jumps look good this year. A clear victory.

My guess is spin? The last lift was already marked as level 3 when the counter was up.

 

[Seven Sisters]

back just in time to see Sui/han

And you missed DM/G, so your timing is impeccable

 

[LadyB]

Yeah, good, happy with that. I'll shout extra loud for DM/G in Sochi!

 

[4everchan]

do i have the courage to watch the men or not?

do i have the courage to watch the men or not?

if i have it i don't see why you shouldn't

 

[labgoat]

Dear ISU, we need a bigger break after two events...

 

[EdgeCall]

ermm... my comment had nothing to do with the work being done on the ice

But that work is why the skaters are here and what they put all their efforts in. And this is what they accept getting "judged" for. Nothing else.

Judges may want to paint the picture that S/H pcs are close to the Russian teams. But you cant delude us S/H are just so much more supreme
