I'm trying to watch the JGP and the FEI Nations cup final (show jumping) and this event at the same time, which is a bit... difficult, but I'm glad I got to see Volosozhar/Trankov again. I agree, though, it looked a bit shaky. I really like the program, though, and hope to see it plenty more times this season!

I don't think they've EVER gotten a score like that! And some people are just so rude here...

 

[QuadThrow]

I actually think V/T looked better at the test skates.
She is a rock star. He throws her lick a sack of potatoes and almost falls down himself, she lands it like a champ.

Good speech

Well, Nebelhorn Trophy 2012, they got 65.24 for the short.

Agree, they haven´t competed since the Olympics so cut them some slack.

 

[gravy]

I can't wait to read all the anti-Russian conspiracies that will no doubt pop up.

This is not a tragedy honestly. That's what these early competitions for. They'll get better.

I wonder if anybody had told Ruben Blommaert in advance he'd end up less than four points behind them, if he would've believed it...

Exactly...did anyone here skate clean? That German team (I think) and...? Big deal...

yes .. and we have the free where they can do much better than today

Well, Nebelhorn Trophy 2012, they got 65.24 for the short.

And 57.91 at Nebelhorn Trophy 2011 - missed a lift, had a mistake on their 3 toe, and a smaller one on the 3 flip throw I believe. The Olympic seaon was the only one where they started the season in top form at Nebelhorn.

Max just came back from an injury and we all know how nervous he can be, can´t believe people are laughing here.

He probably would've fallen over and died on the spot.

Which would be very sad, as we'd have missed that awesome program! They were my favorites (of who I saw, which was only the first group). I think this will make for good conversation in the V/T vs Current field thread. If anything good comes of it, it'll be that.

 

[Snow63]

I think this is a positive expirience for them. They should work harder, no one is going to hand them gold medals for their past achievements. And sooner they will understand that, sooner they'll be on top again.

And it seems like everyone forgotten that Max had a surgery on his shoulder, he actually comes back after the difficult injury. I excpected higher score, but this is for the best. Their FP will be much better, they're not going to be this nervous for sure.

And 6.25 for Skating Skills. Like, seriously? They re NOT juniors.

 

[semosk8tfan]

V/T have excuse that they are coming back after a hiatus which is always difficult. But what is S/K's excuse for such an underwhelming performance?

 

[FSGMT]

My congratulations to these judges who finally had the courage to give V/T exactly the score they deserve (both technically and artistically), not more and not less :shocked: One of the best judging cases I've seen in the last competitions... *shocked*

 

[Sorrento]

My stream from dailymotion seems to be dead (after Pairs it went off). Where else do you watch guys?

 

[Alex D]

Its a pity that Julianne and Chris didn't come clean, they are such a charming pair. The mistake on the Sal cost them the podium.
