Yes much more not just lifts difficult dismounts but Sappenfield is really good at gaining points on all pair elements. Also they had a lot of speed flow and she has really nice lines, style good expression and they are mature! Internationally they will do really well do to their mature look.

Well, tech-wise they were within a point, so pretty comparable difficulty. PCS was the dividing factor here. Oh well, Kopmar and Barrett are young; they'll catch up!

Really? I could have sworn she went down on both but maybe I was thinking of the team before them. And Mrs. P, I didn't think they did but I guess they must have!

Edit: I was right, down on both throws. Kopmar/Barrett got slammed on PCS. The tech scores were less than a point apart.
You were right. It also shows the problems with chore seq, spins and other tech items this team needs to work on. The levels got them even though close on tech. But yes PCs is important. They are both really strong teams though and once their levels up and her shoulders are down and stretch maturity is there they are super strong too. Just glad these teams are strong. We need them!! BOTH!

I was watching, and even though you could tell that the winners had superior skills, I was floored when they won despite the falls. She was on the ground three times.

It was pretty obvious why they won on PCS and also tech with levels etc. Just beautiful skaters and line! Second was much more bouncy and less mature but very good tech. So all the teams have maturing to do but good for Juniors! Thank goodness we have teams to move to Senior eventually.
Congrats to all the medalists!
