[Karen-W]

I'm here and awake, hopefully for the duration of this event! Who else is with us?

 

[airgelaal]

I'm here, but I have an important Zoom meeting in 2 hours

 

[Kateri]

I'm here and awake, hopefully for the duration of this event! Who else is with us?

I can't watch until later (haven't had time to watch any of JWC yet!), but I'll be crossing my fingers for Flores/Wang!

 

[Lizziebeth]

I am here. This is the only event that I can be home and awake to see live. I am not a night person!

Aliyah Ackermann (15), Tobija Harms (21)
Coach: Florian Just
Music: Halo Theme Song (Halo soundtrack) - William Joseph & Lindsey Stirling - Martin O'Donnell; A Mother's Heart by Williams Joseph; Piano Fantasy by William Joseph

Junior Eligible Next Season: No
Senior Eligible Next Season: No

 

[skatingguy]

Aliyah Ackermann/Tobija Harms
Coach: Florian Just
Music: Halo, A Mothers Heart, Piano Fantasy

Triple Twist 2 - poor catch
Step in Lasso Lift 3
Throw 2S - fall
2F+2T+1A+SEQ
Throw 2Lo
Hand/Hip Lift 4
2Lz
Pair Combo Spin 4
Choreo Sequence - no value (must have been a data entry error - sequence was counted)
Forward Inside Death Spiral 1 (B after review)

-1.00 = Falls (1)

Better than the short, but still a struggle. They did a surprisingly good job with the transitions on the pair combo spin given their other elements, and that those often give other teams a great deal of trouble.

71.11 = 1st Place
113.08 = 1st Place

 

[Karen-W]

AckHarms - what's the point of the one-sleeved dress when your designer adds a shoulder strap to the other side?

Three red blobs to start including a fall on the throw 3s - inauspicious. Their SBS combo was nice though. Oh, this first lift is slow again like yesterday. Nice SBS 2z. They have some passion and energy in the choreo sequence which is nice too.

I just realized she reminds me of this girl I used to know. I hope she's not a spoiled whiney try-hard kid like that girl was at the same age. That girl was something else.

Nikola Sitkova (16), Oliver Kubacak (19)
Coach: Rastislav Vrlak, Petra Vrlakova, Petr Bidar
Music: Exosuit by Epic North; Sweet Dreams by Eurythmics

Junior Eligible Next Season: Yes
Senior Eligible Next Season: No

 

[Lizziebeth]

those sequence jumps were not together but they were on the beat of the music!

 

[Karen-W]

SitKuc - he is very clearly opposed to sequins/sparkles and she is not.

Fall on the SBS 2a for her. And then he botches the SBS combo after they came back with a really nice 2tw. They have some nice speed as the music changes. They're pleasant in a rather unmemorable way.

 

[skatingguy]

Nikola Sitkova/Oliver Kubacak
Coach: Rastislav Vrlak, Petra Vrlakova, Petr Bidar
Music: Exosuit, Sweet Dreams

2A - she was forward
Double Twist 3
2S+1T+2T+SEQ - he stumbled out of the first jump
Reverse Lasso Lift 3
Throw 2Lo
Hand/Hip Lift 4
Choreo Sequence
Throw 2Lz
Forward Inside Death Spiral 3 (2 after review)
Pair Combo Spin 4

A mixed bag of a program - clearly lots of things to work on in the off season.

75.45 = 1st Place
120.39 = 1st Place

 

[Aceon6]

I’m here. I tried watching the men last night as I was up anyways due to the storm in the northeast US, but one belly shirt and popped jump dissuaded me. I liked GER, not so sure about SVK.

 

[airgelaal]

to make a mistake on SBS 2S. What a shame!

 

[Aceon6]

to make a mistake on SBS 2S. What a shame!

Just getting ready for senior.

 

[skatingguy]

Nora Marleen Rothenbuehler (16), Mozes Jozsef Berei (20)
Coach: Severin Kiefer, Miriam Ziegler
Music: Turning Page by Sleeping at Last

Junior Eligible Next Season: Yes
Senior Eligible Next Season: No

 

[Aceon6]

Is HUN not aware that the Eastern US just got up and that others may have been awake for 6 hours already? I must remember to add this “music” to my sleep routine.

 

[Lizziebeth]

this music is very Kiefer and Ziegler

 

[Karen-W]

RothenBerei - her left hand/wrist has some white tape wrapped around it - hope all is well.

SBS combo was a bit messy but stood up. Really nice lift! And they're part of the SBS 2S Club!

This music... straight outta the old Ziegler/Kiefer catalogue. They're clearly completing the trifecta of terrible CD collections along with our faves Julie Marcotte and TeamToddAndJenni.

 

[skatingguy]

Nora Marleen Rothenbuehler/Mozes Jozsef Berei
Coach: Severin Kiefer, Miriam Ziegler
Music: Turning Page by Sleeping at Last

Double Twist 2
2Lz!+2T+1A+SEQ - timing was off - a mess all around
Axel Lasso Lift 4
2S
Throw 2S
Hand/Hip Lift 4
Choreo Sequence
Throw 2Lo
Forward Inside Death Spiral 2
Pair Combo Spin 3 (3V after review)

The height difference made some things a bit awkward, but overall they did a lovely job.

78.51 = 1st Place
120.79 = 1st Place

 

[airgelaal]

I'm here, but I have an important Zoom meeting in 2 hours

we will discuss age restrictions for video content. Based on the number of frightening and intense scenes, juniors are now a 16+ category

 

[skatingguy]

Sae Shimizu (18), Lucas Tsuyoshi Honda (21)
Coach: Bruno Marcotte, Brian Shales, Mie Hamada, Cathy Reed
Music: West Side Story by Leonard Bernstein, David Newman

Junior Eligible Next Season: No
Senior Eligible Next Season: Yes

 

[Aceon6]

Let’s see how blind date fares. Fitting opening with a few notes of “I just met a girl”

 

[Karen-W]

ShiHonda - WSS - thank God Cathy Reed is doing their choreo. I couldn't handle a Julie Marcotte program immediately after RothenBerei.

Big SBS 3z+2a+ a messy 1a. Finally a green blob with the death spiral, followed by an iffy throw and a fall on the SBS 3lo. She has beautiful extension all the way through go her fingertips. I won't be surprised if this falls behind both RothenBerei and SitKuc overall.

 

[skatingguy]

Sae Shimizu/Lucas Tsuyoshi Honda J
Coach: B. Marcotte, B. Shales, M. Hamada, C. Reed
Music: West Side Story by Leonard Bernstein

Double Twist 1
3Lz+2A+A+SEQ - he was off balance landing the 2nd jump, and she skipped the 3rd jump as a result
Throw 3S< - fall
Reverse Lasso Lift 3
Forward Inside Death Spiral 2
Throw 2Lo
3Loq - he fell
Hand/Hip Lift 3
Choreo Sequence
Pair Combo Spin 4

-2.00 = Falls (2)

When your strength is the side-by-side jumps, and they don't work it's going to be a bad day at the office.

72.08 = 3rd Place
115.77 = 3rd Place

[Aceon6]

Not last = MASSIVE SUCCESS!

 

[Karen-W]

Not last = MASSIVE SUCCESS!

Look all of these teams have ensured their country gets 1 entry in all 4 of the JGP Pairs events next season just by making the FS. They should all consider that a win and then recruit a friend back home to give Pairs a try in order to continue building the field.

 

[airgelaal]

Not last = MASSIVE SUCCESS!

Everyone is safe and sound - a real success!
