2016 NHK Trophy Pairs FS

[mrrice]

If I wanted to watch this much crashing I'd youtube the Challenger space shuttle disaster on a continuous loop.

You didn't!!!!:eeking:

I am sure you were the only one enjoying the Australians... cause they are Austrian

We are having identity issues!!! First Jin as Japanese and now Austrians as Austrialians..and I thought Jean-Luc was french Canadian.

I swear Meagan and Erics throw was a triple...

but the real thing that we want to know is " if everyone is clean.... will they still be only 3 points behind???) this is the worst competition by far i have seen from D/R.. they had at least two big mistakes on each program.... so i am glad their scores aren't as good as usually. However, it's IMHO irrelevant to compare scores with other teams, when they skate so poorly.

P/J showed a lot of promise, even with 2 falls their PCS is within 3 points of D/R. I think if they were clean they would have outscored D/R in PCS.

What beautiful kimonos the flower bearers have!

Only if. The -3 GOE is applied to the single jump, but overall, the pair does get negative marks overall because of the mandatory 1 point deduction.

Um, isn't the appropriate response always: "KABOOOOM!" ?

Errr, well maybe it's a bit too literal for this topic.

 

[NanaPat]

Lubov and Dylan?

Vartman and Blumental did it here. She single; he fell. I just didn't have time to ask the question after their skate.

Right? That's what I thought as well... huh. I guess I need to look back.

 

[4everchan]

it was a triple... it wouldn't change the results though...

If I was a pairs skater I think I'd want Erik as my partner. He's a rock and he never seems to get annoyed or angry. He's a gentleman.

Meagan's said that they know better at their age to dwell on the negatives. They always work on moving on together and doing better.

I would say D/R and P/J skated about equally as badly (P/J two falls while D/R had sloppy execution, botched combo, etc.). So yes, I would say if both went cleanly the gap would be around 3 points.

I really wish someone would skate to Muse's Starlight. Enough with the Exogenesis.

I am listening it now :agree:

 

[4everchan]

jean-luc's last name to be FC would need to be Boulanger.. not baker

I, for one, was terrified for Paris when I saw the Australians perform earlier this year.

We agreed that a girl could admire from afar.

Chang Peng is such a favorite of mine. Wish they would have won the gold but Silver still puts a smile on my face :yes:
