I enjoyed that program. Not the best technically, but enjoyable.

Ugh, you just reminded me that we won't see ice dance tonight, and this event is spread out to 3 days! I never planned adequately for rest periods this weekend...

Crashy twist, down on the lutz, down on the throw... I SO want them to do well because I think a pairs team from Austria is really hard to come by (even more so one that can do SBS lutzes!) though...

Poor Team Austria. :-( I've even grown to like the dirgy song and grey outfits.

Miriam ZIEGLER / Severin KIEFER

Everytime I see the AUT symbol I get confused and think it's the Australian pair and get scared again. Black and white ombre costumes. Very pretty stag position on that lift. He falls on the SBS jumps. She wipes out on the throw

52.19 1st

It is because all your good skaters go into long track.

That felt a tad slow to me in the setup for the thrown 3A... no wonder she fell

Meagan Duhamel/Eric Radford, Canada

Costumes: sparkly black sleeveless pantsuit on her, black pants and sparkly shredded black shirt on him

Elements:
3Tw
SBS 3Lz
3ATh-fall
Lift
SBS spins-nicely synchronized
StSq-very energetic

Technically strong except for the throw, and they got into the program. Could use a transition or seven. Should score high.

Score: 72.95

Is is just me or did that performance seem tentative compared to the one at SC?

My spirit beverage of choice would be a Bombay Sapphire gin & tonic, with lime! But I'm lazy and like to drink a lot, so it's usually beer most of the time.

Definitely not as good of a performance as in Skate Canada and should score deservedly below what they got there, but based on the TES it's probably going to lead by the end of the day unless P/J have a field day here.

It sounds like nine inch nails and not seal. This program seems like a bit of a :whack:

Yes. I think it's the arena, unless we have the same feed.
