2023 Grand Prix Espoo Pairs Free Skate

[Ares]

This was much weaker than in Angers. Kovalevs were struggling. I think Camille is sick.

 

[labgoat]

I still haven't had time to watch pairs SP yet

 

[CellarDweller]

Why does this program start off with what sounds like an obscene phone call?

 

[labgoat]

Oh no now Danny is falling

 

[CellarDweller]

God, this is a nightmare skate

 

[Jumping_Bean]

Ooof, three falls And an aborted lift...

Ellie, once again, looks fantastic. This team is really good except when they do jumps... it's a bit hard to watch sometimes. Wishing them all the best, hopefully they can stay healthy.

 

[CellarDweller]

Oh God, now an aborted lift

 

[4everchan]

that was uncanny... i expect K O'S to mess up the SBS jumps and throws but not the lift

 

[elektra blue]

poor Ellie and Danny...this was very hard to watch

 

[Ares]

This was a bad skate from Kam/O'Shea unfortunately. I loved their 4 lift4 with that impressive entry from another lift.

They have great lines, but three falls and one lift that didn't happen.

 

[labgoat]

Ooof, three falls

At this point, I kind of hope they can take some time to let her heal and slowly rebuild their problem elements. Hoping for the health of Emily & Spencer.

 

[Jumping_Bean]

Ellie didn't even have her feet under her for either of the throws, maybe just do double throws for the time being? Or at least take out on of the triple throws.

OK, decided to wind it back and do an as-live post.

Mmmm. Camille's leg holster is still Missing In Action. BRING IT BACK!!!

Camille nearly fell just after the opening pose!

Opening element, the Triple Twist, good.

Double Salchow good

Not the best landings for Camille on either part of combination

Next lift good. So were the spins that they did next.

I thought Camille had a good landing on Throw Triple Lutz, but Mark says it was double-footed.

Aborted lift. Pave tried to lift Camille, and she slipped down his back.

Made up for it in Throw Triple Salchow.

No problems with next lift. It was great.

A real mixed bag of a performance.

I think I may have jinxed them after saying in the Fan Fest report that it would take a disaster skate for them to drop.

But, they don't. Into the lead of the FS and overall.

I'm sure they will be better the next time we see them.

OMG!!!! WTH

 

[CellarDweller]

Geez......that was bad

 

[4everchan]

why did i decide to watch this

 

[labgoat]

Oh my gosh that lift fall was so scary. I can't believe they are mostly safe. Thank you God!

 

[Jumping_Bean]

The gasp I just let out, dear god. And I just wanted to write that Brooke and Ben looked so much better here

 

[CellarDweller]

why did i decide to watch this

Don't go to sleep now, after seeing this, you may end up with nightmares
