Very happy for Deanna & Max becoming the world champions, and also glad for Riku & Ryuichi (good to hear they turned out to be okay after having to miss the medal ceremony) and Minerva & Nikita! Congrats to all of them, it was a great event.

Riku Miura and Ryuichi Kihara of Japan won their third straight medal, the silver. Minerva Fabienne Hase and Nikita Volodin of Germany won the bronze in their debut season together.

Favorite 2023/2024 Programs Pairs SP

Pairs event at Worlds was so fucking good even without the Russians. (You'll only see me saying this for pairs. This is the only discipline where Russians were legitimately above the rest). But this season did prove that the field can actually manage without them.

Have to say tho that most the programs aren't really good and we're desperately in need of some good Choreo which is too rare at this point (Cheng Peng save me!).

So here's list if my favourite programs from this season. Rankings are to be taken with a grain of salt.

Honorable mentions go to

Ghilardi/Ambrosini (The Ecstasy of Gold). Choreo did not left an imprint but I love the music choice the costumes and the general vibe. G/A had some great packaging this season.

Ariano Kent/Laliberté Laurent (500 miles). You just can't keep the Canadians away from Sadboi music and this baby pairs came out with the weepy ballad variant of 500 miles. It's an experience for sure.

7th - Yuna Nagaoka/Sumitada Moriguchi - Can’t Take My Eyes of You, by John Lloyd Young, choreo by Cathy Reed

Fun. Charming. Nice to watch. Nothing special but this is one of those feel good programs. The fact that YunaSumi for their first season together have better packaging than RikuRyu is nothing short of tragic.

6th - Anastasia Golubeva/Hektor Giotopoulos-Moore - Architect of the Mind, by Kerry Muzzey, choreo by Jonathan Guerreiro

Recycled from last year. I love the baby Australians so much and this routine show why. Ability to follow the relentless pace of the music. A sense of drama. Good unisson and well matched lines. I especially love the step sequence where their bodies unfurl to the swirls of the music a bit like an accordion. It scratches an itch. Love Nastya's lines and love Hektor's commitment to the performance.

5th - Minerva Fabienne Hase/Nikita Volodin - Stay, by Rihanna, choreo by Paul Bolle and Mark Pillay

Not the most original thing and Virtue/Moir did it better. But Hase/Volodin are not Tessa and Scott, nor do they need to be. It could be a bit bland and tbh if the team were only slightly less talented it would be.

But instead we have a nice, light, romantic program. It goes perfectly well with Minerva's softness. Volodin is very solid but non existent as a performer and that's ok ! They only have to move prettily to the music and it works for them.

4th - Ellie Kam/Danny O’Shea - East of Eden, choreo by Drew Meekins

What good skating skills does to a motherfucker !!!

Even with the tech shortcomings (that throw jump is not even close to ready), when I saw them live in Angers this seasons they blew everyone put of the water with this SP. Skating skills are so rare among pairs skaters and it's so good to see them being rewarded by the judges for it. The sheer ice coverage the breath the ease of their skating is wonderful to see live. And East of Eden, overused as it is, is a perfect match for their brand. The music is suitably intense. Definitely one of the highlights of the season.

3rd - Cheng Peng/Lei Wang - The Storm Driven Sea, by Christopher Tin, choreo by Lori Nichols

Definitely the best choreo of the bunch, gets bumped from first place because Peng/Wang are a new pair and it shows. We sadly did not get the performance that short program deserved. The drama the position, the intensity... Unmatched.

Deanna Stellato-Dudek/Maxime Deschamps - Oxygen, by Cirque du Soleil choreo by Julie Marcotte

I HATED the music at the start of the season. The loud breathing triggered my misophonia and the vocals were grating.

I love it ! It's unlike anything else in the current pairs' field. Cirque du Soleil doesn't get more Québécois than that. The step sequence is fun. The lift rocks.

1st - Annika Hocke/Robert Kunkel - I Love Rock and Roll, by Joan Jett, choreo by Luca Lanotte

Speaking of rock... Best short of the season hands down. Gorgeous lifts with hard and creative dismount? Check! Massive throw jump? Check! Big twist? Check! Great step sequence with loads of attitude? Check! Music that will make the audience loose it? You bet! Performance levels? Unmatched!

Of fucking course they judges hated it and they were robbed blind at worlds.

Pre-Rostelecom Cup rambling

I really don’t have that much to say this time. This competition doesn’t have that many skaters that interest me, and I’m not looking forward to the Russian homecooking. I’m half wondering if I should just not watch and check by how many points Trusova won afterwards.

Ladies

The one thing I really hope is that Evgenia has a great competition here. I did the math and she can theoretically still make the GPF, but she’d need nothing less than a gold here. And given that Alexandra Trusova is there, I sadly highly doubt that will happen. But I still hope that Evgenia will have a great competition and end this GP series on a less frustrating note than Skate Canada was for her.

Another thing I’m strongly rooting for is for Satoko Miyahara to make the GPF. (I wanted Young You in the final, but since that’s not happening anymore, I’d really rather have Satoko there than Bradie or Mariah.) She’d ideally need a medal for that - 4th place would still be enough if she gets a higher total score than Bradie. It also depends on how Mariah does here. But yeah, go Satoko!

I also want to wish good luck to Yuna Shiraiwa and Yuhana Yokoi.

Men

I was going to root for Shoma to redeem himself here, but given the stuff that he said recently (I’m sure you’ve all heard about it by now, so I don’t have to go into detail) I’m feeling disappointed in him at the moment. I think I’ll always be a fan of his skating in a “separate art from the artist” way, but hearing about what he said left me feeling conflicted and disappointed. And that’s all I want to say about this for now.

I hope Deniss Vasiljevs and Kazuki Tomono do well, and I’m looking forward to Dmitri Aliev as well.

Pairs

Rooting for Hase/Seegert to not fuck up as badly this time. Also if Boikova/Kozlovskii could win again that’d be cool.
