I'm not trying to be rude but did you watch K/OS's program? It was horribly sloppy I am sorry. I actually felt their score was generous.
Yeah, I watched it.

yeah probably I just can't assess it objectively as an uber. To me in presentation they're above all pairs nowdays :At Euros 2010 they were highly overscored... but that is past.
I think her sporty skills seem to be a little low sometimes. She looses her body pressure and her grace in some movements.
But I really like their programs this year

2010 isnt the most latest undercoring tho Last Euros they clearly desrved the Gold but could actually get it only because S/K had a major mistake. S/K would have gotten the gold if clean (& undeservingly so)
anyway I'll try to be over it I promise Even bronze can get them into the GPF
While I agree with you that the score looks suspicious, considering that they were underscored in Skate America in the LP and lost on a medal (IMO they deserved the bronze, the Canadiens silver), I really want them to win here so that they can go to the GPF
Is that the best score of the season in the SP?
Protocol time, could someone please explain why K/S death spiral was only level 1? It looked just as good as P/Z to me, but I am no expert in levels. Thank you!
Sorry, they did NOT deserve a medal at Skate America, after the 3 errors in their SP (bad twist, fall on the throw, stumble in the footwork -- still got them 33 PCS somehow) and in their FS (throw salchow stepout, 3S<< fall, spin error). The Americans were a bit overscored on PCS (especially in the SP), but their quad twist justified them being on the podium.
I would have legit been furious if S/K beat out an essentially clean S/B.
This SP was much improved, but it's not their best artistically. Clearly that PCS was homecooked... but they still definitely deserve the lead, and that's a huge relief for them to finally throw that down.
They really are. Haha yeah super unstable tooI'm hoping to see them in the GPF as well! They can deliver a skate. They have such an interesting contrast with Kavaguti/Smirnov, too. Like passion and power vs. romantic, pristine beauty (when they skate clean, of course.)
Let's agree to disagree then on Skate America results. I thought the Americans were really of in the LP, with two major falls on the side-by-side jumps and error on the throw, which affected them and should have been more reflected in the PCS. Oh, and I thought S/B should have been second, not off the podium, with the Russians in third (yes, the Americans did a 4twist, but the Russians did 3T-3T-2T combo). I thought that at least on PCS, the Russians should have more than 1 point gap in the LP considering what the Americans did. Oh well, it doesn't matter now. Americans overscored in USA, Russians overscored in Russia. Same old story and we are still fighting about it
Yes:
Stolbova/Klimov: 40.05+35.40 = 75.45
Volosozhar/Trankov: 39.38+35.12 = 74.50
Sui/Han: 40.00+34.40 = 74.40
Duhamel/Radford: 38.27+34.19 = 72.46
Kavaguti/Smirnov: 39.35+33.10 = 72.45
MT/M just aren't my cup of tea but that did have good energy. Their lifts remain a disaster waiting to happen though- I honestly do feel scared for her at times.
I have to say ksenia is so on-point. She is top3 pair woman in the world imo. They are going to reign no mather what partner they are with; Tatiana,Aliona,and Ksenia. Ksenia is amazing and her team deservedly leads in the sp.
But imo, k/s has a better packaging and programs. Their fp is hands down the best and the sp is so charming. I love the lift where yuko crosses her ankles. That is so dreamy, justifies the cheesy music choice, and exhibits the pair's strong assets. Bravo K/S!
Peng and zang is perfect except peng is too young. I think this sp is the best program of the season but, her presence needs to be stronger, sharper,and more dominant. I want this pair to thrive. But how long can zang wait physically? They need a better strategy to achieve their goal. It is so close,so close.
Peng and Zang look like a daughter-father couple. Their SP is very innovative but Peng is just so young and mechanical and Zang tries hard to soften her effect with his broad smile but the chemistry just isn't there.

I disagree with you in thinking that Peng Cheng is mechanical, I thought she sold it quite well today. The age difference...I completely understand why some people just can't get into them because of it. I think this SP seems to magnify their age gap more than their Nutcracker SP last season.
