Senior Pairs FS

[Jammers]

An utter joke of a score for Marissa and Simon that helps them maintain their lead. These performances would be like 20 points lower in Sochi. It's hysterical!

Better them they D/C who were so overscored it's not funny. They won't get anywhere near 136 even clean internationally. USFS loves them as much as they loved hyping up Rachael Flatt.

 

[Tesla]

The scores are placeholders. I think Z/B should win the free and place second. That was amazing.

 

[museksk8r]

Will the judges do the right thing and drop Denney/Coughlin to 3rd and off the Olympic team? I dunno.

 

[museksk8r]

Denney/Coughlin drop to 3rd. WOW! The judges got that right at least.

 

[Gumdrops]

OMG, yes. Z&B 2nd!

I really hope they get sent to the Olympics. Please USFSA, give it to them.

 

[Chemistry66]

Denney/Coughlin drop to 3rd. WOW! The judges got that right at least.

Now watch them say there's no rules about having to send the gold AND silver medalists and send D/C anyway

 

[museksk8r]

Still, it wouldn't surprise me if USFSA name Denney/Coughlin to the Olympic team. They have to expose this championship for the absolute joke that it is!

Zhang/Bartholomay

71.40+135.22, 201.72, in 2nd

Only 0.29 points above Denney/Coughlin. Wow, the team selection for Olympics is to be hard

 

[Tesla]

I think Z/B should've won the free skate and placed second. I'm happy they placed second. They over scored D/C and had to over score everyone else. I think the placements are right.

 

[ice coverage]

Thrilled for Zhang/Bartholomay!! Hope they will get the 2nd set of tix to Sochi.

And happy for Castelli/Shnapir.

Respect to Leng/LeDuc and Scimeca/Knierim.

 

[Frenchie]

I was grinning like an idiot watching Z/B.
I had no doubt in my mind that they'd win.
Boy did that screw up my predictions, but I was happy for them.
I'm disgusted by the result. NO WAY they didn't win.
2nd by a narrow margin: he's doing a good job to "milk" it to increase their chances of making Sochi... but they shouldn't even have to bite their nails, they should have won. :no:

 

[museksk8r]

NBC commentators are even stirring this absurd propaganda that Denney/Coughlin have this superior scoring potential internationally. Why should USFSA do John and Caydee any favors when the best they would ever do is 8th or 9th in Sochi. What a hoax!

 

[Mathman]

Zhang and Bartholomay, what a performance!

 

[lavender]

They may not send them. GREAT SKATE...but their major elements come off small compared and probably wouldn't get that internationally. Anyone know how they did internationally?

 

[Jammers]

D/C are not medal contenders at the least and they just got beat fair and square.

 

[cornell08]

[Jammers]

Yes i wish we had medal contenders but right now we don't. S/K had a down year but still are the best hope in the next few years.

Z/B were 6th and 7th in this year's GP, while D/C were 3rd and 4th. With such a small margin here, I'm thinking USFSA are going to send D/C.

 

[Tesla]

Z/B's elements are not as explosive. I think D/C would score better internationally. Didn't they do well on the GP? I hope Z/B go to the Olympics. I won't rend garments, though, if D/C go.

 

[Whitneyskates]

I really want Z/B to go the Olympics. Yeah D/C have a couple GP medals, but their world placements are on par with the other U.S teams (lower end of the top 10) I don't see that changing at the Olympics.
