yup ... and you know, there is a reason why they removed the 3t from their LP since Nationals.... it was hurting Meagan's foot... so kudos to them, considering Eric cannot do the lutz with his hip, to bring up the 3Ts, even if Meagan is not really comfortable with it... They are fighting and they could easily have withdrawn (wouldn't be surprised if they did if Eric is worse tomorrow)
However, I hope they keep the fight so Canada survives and sends 3 teams next year. It would be heartbreaking not to be able to do so for not only one pair but two.
Even the 3T is a struggle.. seems the hip injury is causing him not to "check" his free leg on his jump landings, hence why he's leaning forward (saw it in practices too). That must bequite painful, and psychologically mess with you knowing that every landing could potentially hurt.
It's a good thing D/R didn't WD given how S/B skated. It'll be a fight tomorrow for Canada to maintain 3 spots, but that's a good goal for them in the current circumstances... the podium is likely out of reach given D/R's condition and S/H, S/M and T/M being so comfortably ahead.
