2015 Cup of China Short Dance

PAUSE
C/B getting 4! More points in PCS than I/Z and 9s almost everything but TR. What the heck?

 

[tulosai]

They probably missed KPs and levels. Definitely on the twizzles.

Fairly scored event methinks.

Yes overall I think the scoring here has been extremely fair so far. May it continue into the other disciplines!

 

[Sugarpova]

my crazy hopes for C/L to be below S/K @ Rostelecom start to fade a bit but i hope for some home advantage :dev3::yay:

Awfully high PCS for C/B. They go level 1 on twizzles. The placement is more or less ok, but I would put C/B closer to I/Z

I don't think Hawayek and Baker should be so far below I/Z, though. I agree w others that H/B have a gorgeous program and were a bit underscored here.

I simply do not understand why C/B got such high PCS

When I saw Chock/Bates at SA I thought that was a wonderful dance and liked the music but on my computer not so much. Why did they have to go bombastic? Would be so much better if they used the original artists. Tonight it just seemed fake fake fake. (Of course my viewing at SA wasn't 2:30 in the morning either so grain of salt I guess)

It is badly disguised. Just when they start the pattern this snare drum thingy comes in the background that clearly has a THUMP thump THUMP thump beat to it.

I actually really enjoyed C/L !!! Good to see them back with passion and purpose....at least in the short.

So Happy for Anna and luca, hope they will win :clapper:

I'm a big fan of C/B so sorry I can't go with the crowd here. I do think they have technical difficulties with this SD, but I also have faith that Igor, Mr Master Technician, will sort them out. A traditional ballroom style does suit them--I agree with Nicky and Simon about that.

C/L have always excelled in the SD, so another terrific SD is not a shocker. Good for them. And Anna's posture was better than usual, I thought. Good for them.

Totally digging the Watts Zap and Net clips!!! :dance2:

Kutien swoops in for the win

 

[MsLiinaLii]

I mean, I don't want to sound rude but
Do you guys agree with C/B PCS? I never considered C/B, especially Madison, having strong SS, especially compared to I/Z and C/L while they have 9.04 and I/Z have 8.13...
It was not their strongest skate yet they have quite a margin in PCS from others.

P.S. And yes, I love I/Z's Frida, hope they are clean tomorrow and go higher(though doesn's seem realistic unfortunatelly)

 

[Sam-Skwantch]

Haha...I slept thru I/Z and actually forgot they were here. I'm not a very good fan of my ID fav's

I can't speak much to PCS dramas and especially about C/B's because I kind of let my mind wander during their performance.

C/L has me glued to them the whole time.

 

[WeakAnkles]

The protocols are up and yes, C/B really got zapped. Like I thought, lost levels and didn't hit all their keypoints.

No one got a level 4 for the RW OR the partial.

Stickler panel. LOL.

 

[zebobes]

I tuned into the broadcast during the second group, and the commentators were talking about how there was a mild collision during the warm up between Hawayek and Baker and Capellini and Lanotte, so that probably contributed to Kaitlins pain during the SD.
