2014-2015 GPF Pairs Short Program 12/11

[Krunchii]

Sorry to fans, but I don't like the system "you don't need great interpretation and original choreography just do lutz and you will be on first by far" . Yes Meagan and Eric deserved the first, but S/H didn't deserve 8 point difference between 1st and 2nd. Personally I like S/H much more.

Blame the judges, PCS is just a reputation mark now

D/R don't match at all, sometimes I do wish Eric had a more artistic partner and I guess they work with what they have

Brasil is very slow for me. I'm using Australia and it's fine.

Hi, Australia's good, but it keeps switching to Brazil when I go to read GoldenSkate (I use two screens, same computer). Any ideas?

STOLBOVA/KLIMOV 2nd place 72.33

I think the twist might have dinged them!

 

[MalAssada]

Perfect score? Who said anything about a perfect score?

 

[Florencito]

Hate seeing Yuko and Alex so down but I'd be ok if the podium stays like this.

 

[blue_idealist]

I think I'm just going to watch the videos... none of the streams are working properly for me.

 

[Scovies]

I'd have had S/K with higher PCS than that (at least compared to D/R), but otherwise I agree with the placements. Aside from K/S, that was a really enjoyable set of short programs.

 

[cebi26]

Really hope that S/K get that gold in the FS :yay:

 

[Icey]

D/R were also very close to each other when they did their jump. One couple was so far apart they were at the ends of my computer screen.

 

[MalAssada]

sequinsgalore, disable Hola in GoldenSkate. If that doesn't work, try choosing Australia for GS too

 

[xabia]

I much preferred S/K to D/R to be honest. Just personal preference I guess.

I agree - there's no comparison. D/R don't look right together - the height difference is too much and she isn't elegant compared to Stolbova.

 

[Icey]

I hope the streaming improves for the ladies

I do think the results were what they should have been. Hoping for gold for the Canadians!

Any Russian speakers listening to Trankov on Eurosport? I would love to know what he had to say.

He said D/R were very good, but it was their maximum. S/K have new elements they didn't include this season, so they're gonna beating them effortlessly in the future :dance: He's very happy with scores S/K got. And still he doesn't understand how D/R got higher TR.

 

[Jammers]

I just can't get into D/R. S/K have much better skating skills and should get higher PCS by far.

 

[lyndichee]

I've always like Stolbova way more than Klimov.

D/R are odd but I think that's the best pair you can get in Canada. I love how they push on the technical but I hope to see something more artistic by 2018. They almost didn't want to continue competing but then they tried the quad sal and thought there was more to achieve. I hope their next goal isn't a new technical element but cohensiveness.

Trankov is so brash :thumbsup:

I'm watching it in my computer and checking the forum on my cellphone . Or use another computer to check the forum.

I loooooooooove S&K. Great program and great skaters. BRAVO!

I didn't really notice the height difference as much, but S/K just seem to really work together and ..not balance each other out, but lift each other to bigger heights? Sounds cheesy but you know. I see two individuals skating together in D/R, not more. Technically they're great but that's all in my opinion, and it's not enough.
