2024 Canadian Championships Sr Pairs SP - Extreme Cold Warning

[overedge]

Saskatchewan bringing the pairs power

 

[pat c]

Caidence Derenisky / Raine Eberl - Love on the Brain (Rihanna)

 

[JoannaLouise]

Derenisky/Eberl really struggling today.

I remember them skating a great SP at nationals last year.

 

[skategal]

Didn’t KMT skate to this music one year?

 

[Rukia]

Good sbs sals but twist, lift, and throw were all rough

 

[JoannaLouise]

Didn’t KMT skate to this music one year?

Yes, but I think she and Mike used a cover version.

 

[danafan]

They skated much better at nationals last year and also at Autumn Classic.

 

[overedge]

Ugh, it sucks to have an off day when you know you have a good program

 

[pat c]

I remember them from last year, they were good, one of the highlights of the pair comp.

 

[danafan]

I love seeing Garrett Gosselin in the kiss and cry.

 

[Wyliefan]

Twist disaster. At least she was safely down before she fell.

 

[pat c]

Fiona Bombardier / Gabriel Farand - Oh Darling - Hailey Reinhart (Postmodern jukebox?)

(Her dad and Michelle Menzies skated to a wonderful big band sp back in the day).

 

[Rukia]

ugh I thought they had that twist for a hot second

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

Twist disaster. At least she was safely down before she fell.

I’m going to need a lot of for the rest of this competition.

 

[Wyliefan]

Aw, they're so cute and that's such a nice program, but it was a mess.

 

[Rukia]

She seems a lot stronger of a skater than him. Maybe he was just shaken up by the twist mistake?

 

[JoannaLouise]

Considering that Fiona is new to pairs, they actually got pretty good height on the twist. I'm sure it will take them a while to find their timing on the big elements.

 

[overedge]

I liked that program, but it looks like they had more time to work on the elements than they did on the steps between the elements. I'd like to see them continue and develop.

 

[skategal]

Messy but big potential.

Need more time together.

Looking forward to more in the future.

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

Fluff piece on Farand from a couple of years ago.

 

[pat c]

Émy Carignan / Bryan Pierro - Ophelia (The Lumineers)

 

[Rukia]

You shouldn't get to skate to this if you aren't going to land your throw then wink at the judges rip peng/jin

 

[overedge]

Do the Lumineers have any songs without that stomping beat?

 

[Desperado]

I hate the lifts with a split, they always look ugly and scary.

 

[Wyliefan]

That was great! Good speed, good elements, lots of confidence.

 

[overedge]

Now if it wasn't for @pat c I would have thought that song was saying "Beady Eye".

 

[JoannaLouise]

Another team that broke up and got back together recently. I thought they looked great, especially considering they probably lost a considerable amount of training time.

 

[Alilou]

I hate the lifts with a split, they always look ugly and scary.

I was just having the same thought - almost always clunky and unattractive

 

[Desperado]

They split and got back together too? It’s popular.
