2023 Skate America Pairs Short Program

Ugh, Johnny saying the Italians missed an opportunity...seriously? They were a bit slow at the end, but I'd say I'm glad they survived after that collision.

C/M. I love their matching red outfits. So happy they had a good skate.

Four programs into the GP series, we are already in the A.W. (after Woodkid) era of 2023.

What opportunity is he referring to?

 

[labgoat]

Nice opportunity for the Brits.

 

[labgoat]

Annnnd we have a PaulE sighting!

where...

 

[CellarDweller]

and the cover versions start already! LOL

What opportunity is he referring to?

MTE. They weren’t considered podium contenders here surely. That’s like saying I missed the opportunity to attend this event — technically true but completely ignoring a number of relevant factors.

 

[labgoat]

Too bad about the throw, they were off to a decent start.

 

[Carol1]

What opportunity is he referring to?

The only logical answer to that question is "to finish third in the short instead of fourth," but since we're talking about Johnny he might have been referring to an opportunity to wear feathers, jewels, and makeup applied with a trowel.

Great finish, that sbs spin was excellent.

 

[Mariiiiskate]

That fall on the throw looked painful they did recover really nicely from it.

 

[labgoat]

Overall I like how the British skaters in general have stepped up their own performances.
Perhaps it is a result of having a GP last year and the success of Lilah & Lewis.

 

[Lamente Ariane]

They (Brits) were fairly last minute replacements, right? So getting to compete is still a victory even if the score isn’t what they might have hoped.

 

[momrk]

Glad they were able to finish strong after the fall

Hello lovelies.

So last year I accidentally paid $$$ for ExpressVPN as I forgot to cancel the free trial in time. Decided to use that VPN to go to the Netherlands, yet somehow the ISU stream was still not showing.... switched to the free ProtonVPN and the stream showed up straightaway Go figure.

Thanks to ExpressVPN I missed the first pair, but I tuned in just in time for Liu/Nagy. I like them a lot!

Shame of the fall for the British team, but I think they're the first one to get +GOE on the spin!

 

[yuumagical]

What opportunity is he referring to?

I believe that opportunity was a chance to make a good impression on the judges...they'll have other chances...

Beautiful costumes

 

[labgoat]

Oh I love the magenta color of those outfits.
