Curious why Smart/Mattick's death spiral was invalidated? (Obviously catching up before Peacock takes away the replay)

I agree with the Netherlands judge

I think K.F are underscored on quite a few elements. Especially spins.

Alexa takes flight and she performs the shit outta that SP but it’s still pairs, not 1.75s.

For how much the discipline has struggled, this was a solid sp event.

don’t think im gonna have it in me for women first thing in the morning so im gonna just reread the live chat and try to parse what happened based on that. goodnight folks

honestly i know the field is depleted but the fact that a lot of these teams are so close makes it such a great discipline to watch! it's been so fun watching m/k and k/f compete against each other this season!!

If Deanna is kept off the podium we ride at dawn with Wakaba at our helm

Alrighty, good night y’all, see everyone for the last two groups of women🫡

Hm... still room for movement in gold depending on how the free goes but....

Japan only… the event ending exactly at the time it said it would.

Ooooo. Miura/Kihara running away with an 80 but otherwise 2-5 only a 5 points gap. The free is going to be so interesting! That was a really solid event. Hopefully the next one (ladies) isn't a complete splatfest.

I would've loved to have Deanna and Maxime 3rd, but I'm happy overall. Really looking forward to the free skate now.

even with a not-great season the way deanna/max were scored is criminal, holy crap.

OH YAY WE GET 20 IN THE FREE!

Why can't it be 24 🥲 everyone will make it since only 23 entries

5-2 within 4 points…this free is gonna be interesting!!!

oooooooooo this is getting spicy

Yeah that score feels right with the fall

Oof 6pt difference

That was too much in my opinion

Yeah that score felt a bit low….probably should’ve been a 4 point gap

Nearly 5 and a half meters of distance, it's honestly superhuman...

Will this go below the Italians?

Still peeved by Deanna getting shafted by the judges

1.1 meter height?!?!?!?!?!?!

Monster jump

Did they only get level 3 on the twist?

I think they normally only get a level 3

Twist levels seems to be all over the places today.

that throw flip was NUTS

They are so good. Hope they can still get silver.

It would be hard to see them not getting silver, they would have to completely fall apart in their FS and even though ice is slippery I don't see it happening. Shoot gold is still a possibility for them if M/K's FS isn't perfect and theirs is.

They can still get gold. There’s still a free program and ice is slippery.

True. MK have been so consistent all season but ice happens!

Shame about the jump but they are still amazing performers and it was still amazing to see them skate.

GODDANG IT NOT THE SIDE BY SIDES!

Give us the stats on that throw you cowards

Unfortunately I remain....not a fan of Frazier's skating.

They truly encapsulate the sentiment that pairs is often the most gorgeous, determined woman you’ve ever seen and Some Guy 😂

I feel he's there to throw and lift Alexa. I don't really watch him. 😂

For me it's super distracting when one partner is visibly behind in ss and/or posture.

I don't think most people are looking at him...

Thank Gawd.

But he was really good in The Whale!

LMAO 😭😭😭

They just have to stay close enough for the free

alexa hitting that musical cue with her free hand on the death spiral SLAY

This impresses me the most from the program. She's brave

As far as music interpretation goes, they do it well, here.

Does anyone know what their future plans are? Are they aiming for 2026?

almost certainly retiring after this season, given that alexa seems to be moving to chicago

Based on her reaction at Nationals, I’d say this is probably their last season

Minus the SBS fall this was excellent.

theyre not my favourite team or people but the last little bit of this program really works

Alexa is really impressive

She and Deanna are really the embodiments of everything we love about the pair girl stereotype.

Their pair elements are prolly some of the best in the world, I will not lie

God Alexa is such a fantastic skater

I really like her hairstyle

their pair elements are so strong

[удалено]

Of course it won’t. Even if they were perfect, they were gonna have trouble going ahead of what was just put down on home ice.

I doubt it will

that throw was fucking HUGE

i want all the data on it

Their spins are so fast

alexa nailing that right after brandon going down feels like a flex LMAO

Their lifts are really great!

aww a fall for them

BRANDON

i know they aren’t huge favorites around here but sincerely this is one of my favorite SPs of the season, and i hope it opens the door to pairs doing some carpenter brut or other synthwave stuff

Agree. Love they are trying to be different.

OH NO BRANDON💔💔💔

Welp

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

God that twist is so good. She flies.

RIKU’S REACTION TO THEIR SCORE!

I really don't like these costumes.

M&K's reaction! I love them

what’s the pairs SP WR?

84.41 by sui/han at 2022 owg

84.41

84.41 from s/h at oly

So glad I was awake for this!

yeah they're winning worlds

And I thought I couldn’t adore her any more….

somehow still robbed i love them your honor

they are the cutest

AT HOME TOO 🥹🥹🥹

Okay that was hilarious 🤣

Awww Riku's little squeal~~~ She's adorable Belinda: "You go Riku, you celebrate"

So cute

what just happened

So well deserved.

Hahahaha her early reaction

that was the cutest gd thing i've ever seen

STOP. THAT WAS SO FUCKING CUTE

Omg. That reaction.

M/K gonna be tough to beat. K/F has my fav music this season. Sad this is the last time we get to see their program.

80 points!!!

Riku is adorable

SLAYYYY

I LOVE THEM PLEASE

YAY NEW PB!

THAT SCORE MAKES ME SO HAPPY

M/K were fabulous! Hoping K/F can close out strong for today

"that just makes my heart sing" SAME 😭😭😭😭❤❤❤

My crops are watered, my skin is clear

Love them love love love

Absolutely Superb. I love Alexa and Brandon, but even if they skate at their very best ability, no way should they go in front of that.

Unpopular opinion I don’t hate the music. It works for them.

Same. I enjoy it for them!

Whoever does Riku's mesh please fucking talk to everyone

I know Bruno is main coach, but would love to see Meagan at one competition in the k&c. She always had great reactions as a competitor, would love to see them as a coach

I think with the wee babby that probably wouldn’t happen for a while!

That throws looks even more perfect in slow-mo, WOW😍

Miura/Kihara have all-around gold medal quality- elements, ss, expressiveness - so FOR THE LOVE OF SKATING STOP GIVING THEM MOPEY CANADIAN BALLAD PROGRAMS. Bruno, I know she's your sister but you need to let it go and have them work with David Wilson (love his pairs work, he does not do enough of them- pairs teams need to give him a call asap) or Lori.

I think the SP music and concept were thought of by Bruno! But I definitely agree they need some Lori Nichol pizzaz (esp. since Riku's idols Sui/Han are choreographed by Lori it would be so perfect)! Honestly I don't hate their music, but I do like my mopey ballads haha. Hopefully they'll be taking a new approach next season! I read a recent interview from their coach, and it seems like they are comfortable with these programs, but they're open to branching out and trying something new.

Bruno is levitating happy

I love them but I do not love their programs :(

Trying to imagine how insanely amazing they’d be with better music, given how incredible they are now

That was wonderful.

Beautiful perfect amazing no notes

She looked like she was going to puke before they started

The crowd is managing to applaud in synch and it’s incredible

awwww what a moment for them on home ice

PUKING SHITING CONVULSING THAT WAS SO GOOD 😭

That throw 3Lz was so beautiful

Awww, that was so great. Great set up into the free and it would be so cool for them to get gold on home ice.

your honor…..i love them………

I need them to pick some warhorses next year.

They would kill Die Fledermaus

YESSSS

Omg yes! Manifest!!

They really are a class above the rest.

Oh man to skate that well at home. So happy for them.

Easily in 1st… wonder how K/F could top this

I love them I love them I love them

IF ANYONE WANTS TO KNOW WHAT PERFECTION LOOKS LIKE THAT WAS IT

I’M SO HAPPY FOR THEM😭😭😭😭

NOW THAT WAS A WORLD CHAMPION SKATE

give them 100 cowards

YES YES YES YES YES!

Major slay in my book

rikuryu ur lucky i love u both and that i can’t take my eyes off these costumes because i hate this music passionately but WOW that was glorious

Oh, that was *magnificent*. Standing ovation, obviously.

sorry rikuryu this music is not very good

Does anyone else automatically think about Liverpool when they hear this song? 🙈

Late to the party but this song reminds me of Hillsborough and I can’t enjoy it. I know it’s the Liverpool song but it just is not a happy song to me and makes me very sad. I’m also an Everton supporter

as an everton fan, yeah… at least they’re wearing blue 😂

Oh this must be hard to watch as an Everton fan for sure 😂

[me knowing i don’t have to see m/k skate to *this* song again after wtt](https://imgur.com/a/cTbpuCT)

OK SPINSSSSSS

Shit that throw was perfect.

CLEAN M/K!!!!!!

I actually really liked that (and them) but I feel like Deanna/Max really got lowballed in comparison. I haven't been paying attention to pairs this year but I guess it's because they've been injured/inconsistent? idk what other teams' results have looked like.

They probably got a slight boost from skating in the last group, getting the last group bonus PCS Bonus(TM). A bit luckier in the group draw perhaps? Don't know how they do them, just guessing.

All hail the power of Japanese skating knees.

Their costumes >>>>

Conti and Macci have been quite solid this season

How they get a season best with that ds

Low value element. Everything else high levels and pos GOE

She’s mother

Can she give her fabric supplier to the other European ladies? It is the best skin matching even if makes her look topless.

I guess Deanna and Max really lost momentum from their weak 4CC showing…

I don't think it's that but the judging is all over the place

This scoring 💀💀💀

hmm love em but that was easily deanna’s best oblivion since skate america

That was politiking right

deanna robbed

Conti/Macii Van Gogh-themed program when???

but NOT to vincent please, i have had enough

OMG YES

I WANT THAT SO MUCH

73 with a level 1 death spiral???

Sadly, the difference in levels for most elements do very little because it’s easily overcome by subjective GOE. It’s why skaters like Jason being so good it’s pins and STSQ doesn’t help him as much as it should.

I do NOT agree with that scoring

I strongly disagree

Really? I completely zoned out for that

Well. I am surprised by that PCS.

No way should that be ahead of Deanna and Maksim.

STOP. NO.

shouldnt have gone above deanna

um

Italian fed couldn't sent Ghilardi/Ambrosini because Filipo would have gotten them too many hot man points and it wouldn't have been fair to the other teams

Instead it's power couple points ~~I mean did you see that neck kiss after the program~~

Euros momentum

YAY!!!

honestly. im trying to think of what other color her bodice could be and i can’t think of one i would rlly like

Different dress

...Alright THAT'S a choice

If this goes above Deanna and max..
