Canadian pair Desrochers and Thrasher in 7th place at Cup of China

Well, 12 months ago, this team were medallists on the Grand Prix stage, but at the junior category, now fully embedded in the senior ranks, the world junior silver medallists, Jasmine Desrochers and Kieran Thrasher, competing in their first senior Grand Prix, using the program that they used last season, the music Meet Me Halfway. Missing you, they miss, I'm really missing, missing you, and all those things. Incoming double axles. Hey girl, what's up, girl, what's up? Done with a back twizzle. to follow. And they land the throw triple loop. We are one and we are only. Gotta get that. Gotta get it. Gotta get it. Gotta get dip, dip, dip, dip. There's a sense of relief at the end of the performance. Jasmine Desrochers and Kieran Thrasher from Canada in their senior Grand Prix debut. Great to see this program again. The Black Eyed Peas, a team that is so, so unique. As I mentioned in warm up, he a former hockey player. She later to the seriousness of elite competitive skating. And so comparatively they're still earlier on their journey when you put them up against the likes of Mishina Galimov who have such a long experience as established senior pair skaters as there's a solid handshake from their coach Bruno. Gotta get that Gotta get that Gotta get that Good to see them bringing freshness and having confidence to have originality of music choice. Just a level one on that opening element it's only five points comparative Two more from others, but the double axles, which have in the past been the nemesis for Jasmine in particular, successfully and cleanly done, good choice to go for the axle perhaps as opposed to the more difficult Salchow on this occasion, as we see the change of position in the lift, the dismount from the lift was quite brilliant, and again, having seen the I've seen the development of the team, seeing them land the triple loop. And executing fantastic. They need to increase the speed, the flow, the ice coverage, of course. And having seen them on the junior ranks, it's great to see them nailing the elements that have caused them problems previously. So you see the conclusion of the choreography done by Julie Marcotte. And interestingly for the judges on the second mark, they've got three scores to give, composition, presentation and skating skills. Judges going with the composition and the presentation. Judges appreciating the Black Eyed Peas and their interpretation of it, but recognizing that their speed and flow and glide not as strong comparatively. I can't believe it. So 59.24. For the... Actually it's the pairs combo spin which has a V beside it. So the technical panel recognizing that not all the basic positions perhaps fulfilled.
