They are called S/K, not K/S. Just saying. If it hadn't been for the bootlace, they would have nailed it big time.
I don't see their PCS are affected at all. They got the highest PCS for God's sake. That program is stopped several times, are you seriously telling me it's worth 66 for PCS?
K/S missed THREE elements, had a fall, and stopped the program for 15 second to tie a freaking shoelace, yet they got the highest PCS! Let's talk about fair!

Dear Lord....there is really no middle ground with S/K. They are either spectacular or spectacularly disastrous. No average for sure.
It's hilarious how Ksenia has become super supportive compared to her Europeans 2015 shocked/angry reaction. I don't know if it's because she has gotten used to this kind of crazy performances (they are weirdly common for a couple like them), or life experience has taught her to cherish her partner, but it's quite a striking difference

Fedor explained what's happened during FP: during that first aborted lift the lace slipped off from the hook on his boot, so it was practically unlaced. He started to think frantically what to do next and fell because of that. So he stopped to fix it because it was impossible to finish the programm with unlaced boot. After that they did two last elements.
No mentions of injury or weak shoulder. Apparently, it was techincal mistakes from undertraining before the event and lace problems. He seems okay.
Well, I re-watched. They showed close up. He did rolled up his pants to tie the boot but actually did not really do anything. Just checked and the laces looked fine. The truth is the lifts were very laboured and it is visible that he is not recovered. So why make up this story?
