Yes, I wonder why S/B level 4 twist score is lower than D/F level 3 twist...GOEEEEEEEE! Why -2 GOE?
Confused about the negative GOEs on the Canadian twist... Anyone know why that is?
If you watch it again she pikes bad at the top of the twist and it effected it. They were still better than D/F though and the French should have been in 2nd Canadians 3rd they both skate bigger and Stronger than the Americans.
I haven't seen a second of anything from the event yet because I'm out with friends tonight but I guarantee a Mao friendly corridor once I catch my bearings.Lol Sam's corridor?
She toes in. at the top of the twist she sticks her butt out real quick and her head is down piking at the top. Then gets over herself. Piking at the top like a jack knife. Watch it again you can see it...it is a confidence thing and tech thing. Maybe someone with better knowledge can explain it better. In gymnastics it is death. In the twist it slows it down and is actually dangerous to be doing but when it gets too high and a girl is not leaning back into it and over it she pikes. she fixed it right away but as it was on the way down which made her rotate so slow on the way down. I am using gymnastics to explain this so I am hoping someone with more experience on ice can explain it better but that is the only issue I saw. It was fast strong the catch was a little off but that was from the pike slowing it down a bit. Anyone? A twist whisperer maybe? Bueller? Bueller??What's 'piking'?
I came here looking for an answer for the absence of Judge 6 but I see you all are as confused as I am. Let's hope it is just a bathroom break gone bad.

the only thing we know about judges in the competition threads is that they were drinking
Btw John Couglin agree with you folks that Tarasova/Morozov were not really connecting to the audience with this program. Their focus appeared to be nailing the elements.

Have they ever connected to an audience with any program?
Maybe it's not a big deal in most performances but one that is upbeat like this one needs it. I thought their elements were wonderful. But having a bit of a déja-vu with Savchenko/Massot's dance-like SP. Is this the new direction of pairs?
Pairs could do a heckuva lot worse than to incorporate some of what makes ID so wonderful.
S/B's was a lot higher with more pop too? It doesn't look crashy to me either.

Good to see D/F back but the twist was the worst I have seen them do. He grabs her behind her back at catch..and she had some weird moments in it too almost like she rotated coming down too much? NOT a LV 3!! Then the step out on the Sal and Branden with always the two foot landing. He taps his left toe in at the same time he lands and always has , always and NEVER gets a two foot on the sal ugh wish he would just fix it! Rewatch it and someone please tell me why he gets credit??
The music was awful.
