From watching S/K in the grand prix, I thought there was no way they would get out of Russian nationals let alone get on the european podium.
Was very impressed with J/C and V/VC. Spins seemed to cause a lot of problems tonight.
It almost happened again! Tatiana had a balancing check problem during a foot change on the SBS spin, and almost completely lost momentum. But she trooped on and kept the spin going, however slowly.
Awkward exit on their last lift. On the replay, it seems Trankov had a bit of footing issue. But like the champs they are, they absolutely refused to let gravity and physics get the better of them, and covered up the errors admirably.
It seems to me V/T are always overscored. If S/S or K/S made these little errors across their program they would be punished more. This is just my impression.

With the same mistakes as V/T, S/S would probably get 139 or 140 so NO, S/S are the ones way overscored.
