Cho seems to be the stronger skater here. I like her posture throughout the performance.

Ahh I'd forgotten about the Live Chat - I learned early on never to open it.

Protocols are up. The judge n°3 (AUS) gave -GOEs to almost all of the teams...

A little history on the Waddell brothers....both are strong freeskate competitors and do all triples except axel. Natalie is a fab singles skater as well. I used to train with their mom (Casey, who was a great skater and judge) and her sister Kitty who was a spitfire and wonderful show skater after her competitive career. Their father (the boys grandpa) is "Red" Kelly who was on 8 winning Stanley Cup teams in the late 40s and 50s and later became a successful NHL coach. He is 90 yrs young now! Wonderful and successful family! Skating is definitely in their blood!

Why? They hit their levels and made no major mistakes...

I fully agree with both comments!

A little history on the Waddell twins....both are strong freeskate competitors and do all triples except axel. Natalie is a fab singles skater as well. I used to train with their mom (Casey, who was a great skater and judge) and her sister Kitty who was a spitfire and wonderful show skater after her competitive career. Their father (the boys grandpa) is "Red" Kelly who was on 8 winning Stanley Cup teams in the late 40s and 50s and later became a successful NHL coach. He is 90 yrs young now!

except they are 3 years apart so they are not twins

except they are 3 years apart so they are not twins

Oh dear...I have never checked their bios as I just went by what I was told by a Cricket Club coach. Woopsie daisy! And thanks for the info Sir Chan!:confused2:

 

[peese]

TWINS?! I didn't even think of looking at the dates of birth. I just looked at the hometown.

This has suddently added a bit of extra spice to proceedings!

EDIT: Except, they're not (according to their ISU Bios anyway). George's DOB is 17.10.1998, while Bruce's is 28.11.2001.

Sorry CaroLiza....as 4everchan pointed out, they are brothers three years apart and not twins. Never bothered to check bios as I was told many times that they were. My bad...

I really liked this couple: Elizaveta KHUDAIBERDIEVA / Nikita NAZAROV.

Elizaveta is just 14! Except twizzles, their program was very nice and their skating skills are very good.
