Euros 2024 Pairs FS: "We Want More Wedgies"

[Rukia]

2 things at base level and then a good throw triple I mean I guess

 

[Karen-W]

His footwork in these lifts is Michael Marinaro level skary.

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

We want more skary lifts.

I think Lydia would have done much better on her own. There's nothing Smart about skating with a guy who has such footwork on lifts....

 

[airgelaal]

Oh, no

 

[TAHbKA]

Think several heart attacks happened during their lifts

 

[Hedwig]

Lydia SMART / Harry MATTICK

3twist
sbs 3toe
sbs 2a 1a1a nice
ohhh dear, he stumbled during the lift but did not put her down.
I am too old for this
please put her down next time
throw 3loop
these lifts age me before my time
throw 3 sal

sorry, I have to go unexpectatly for a while, will be back in about half an hour

 

[Rukia]

Negative goe on every lift should tell you what you need to know about those

 

[airgelaal]

At least everyone is alive.

 

[rfisher]

I cannot believe he maintained any of those lifts. They aren't getting an positive GOEs, but they aren't skating badly under the circumstances. But, she's one brave woman is all I can say.

 

[Lizziebeth]

she's very smiley in the lifts for a girl who is in peril

 

[Citlali]

Now this is the level of scary one should expect from the first groups on the European Championships

 

[Karen-W]

Negative goe on every lift should tell you what you need to know about those

Even Chris is admitting those lifts were iffy...

 

[Rukia]

Not even the replay operator wanted to hear the light on song again

 

[miffy]

All 3 lifts were skary as hell.

I know he'll likely never commentate skating again but I kind of miss Simon Reed saying 'Well they made it to the end'...

 

[Aceon6]

Mr. Mattick, I sentence you to one leg, 100 lb. clean and jerks with 15+ second holds.

 

[airgelaal]

Kovalevs music

 

[skatingguy]

Lydia Smart/Harry Mattick
Coach: Christopher Boyadji, Zoe Jones, Lloyd Jones
Music: Leave a Light On by Tom Walker

Triple Twist Lift 1 - poor catch
3T - stiff landings, different timing
2A+1A+1A+SEQ
Step-in Lasso Lift B - wow, that was scary
Back Outside Death Spiral B
Throw 3Lo - nicely timed to the music
Choreo Sequence
Reverse Lasso Lift 4
Throw 3S - fall
Hand/Hand Lift 3
Pair Combo Spin 2 - struggling to keep his balance at the end (2V after review)

There were some dicey moments in that program, and they happened every time he lifted her. Oh dear.

88.86 = 3rd Place
140.46 = 3rd Place

 

[susieB129]

That program was the epitome of "labored."

 

[Sally1214]

Mistakes aside, I enjoyed that program by Lydia and Harry. Shame about the fall on the last throw 3sal ... I really thought she had that one. Pretty shade of blue for their costmes.

 

[MacMadame]

leave the poor guy alone. He is not even commentating

OMG, that explains EVERYTHING.

 

[Kateri]

Mr. Mattick, I sentence you to one leg, 100 lb. clean and jerks with 15+ second holds.

He lists "deadlifts" as his hobby, so one would hope he's on it!

 

[rfisher]

she's very smiley in the lifts for a girl who is in peril

Either that or she'd be screaming in terror.

 

[Rukia]

He lists "deadlifts" as his hobby, so one would hope he's on it!

maybe he's just watching youtube videos about deadlifting or something time to turn that hobby into actual training

 

[Wyliefan]

At least when KMT used to look terrified, we were all on the same page about those lifts.

 

[victorskid]

Sadly, his training leaves him no time for his hobbies...

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

Does anyone else think they should can the combo/sequence requirement in pairs? Most of them are kind of nasty and unison seems to be too much to ask for.

Loving the name Océane, in spanish Océano is masculine, and you would never name a child that, there is the name Mar (sea) but Océane is more chévere

 

[Wyliefan]

I just heard Chris go "Ooh!" What happened?
