2014-2015 GPF Pairs Free Skate 12/13

[rosacotton]

Jane Austen fans! You're not nuts. You have Good Taste (and don't let anyone tell you otherwise!).

It's like the Golden Skate Jane Austen Fan Club!!

He is! I adopted him and his brother, Darcy, at the same time. Thanks for 'getting it'... you'd be maybe surprised how few people do, even when they are together. My vet still has to be reminded every time that Darcy is NOT a girl... last time I was like no, it's like MR DARCY. His first name is actually Fitzwilliam but only his best friends call him that... and my vet looked at me like I was nuts... and now I also sound nuts here...oh well.

Cats named after Bingley and Darcy...super cool. Excellent taste. :dance: You are welcome! I admit to being more of a Bingley fangirl rather than a Darcy fangirl (Bingley doesn't get enough love and appreciation IMO), which is probably why I got it.

Sui/Han! Little mistake in the beginning, but beautiful overall. Best throws of the night so far.

Judging by the TES, I think they'll lose the free to Peng/Zhang, but it should be enough to keep them ahead overall.

Love Sui/Han They are so expressive. Unfortunate about the combo SBS jump.

Yes they are usually my favorite of the Chinese teams by far. I was so bummed they didn't get the Oly assignment last year. Though actually I MIGHT have preferred P/Z today... don't tell.

 

[Lota]

I agree with Trankov here, while they were absolutely great technically, I find that I enjoyed the 2 previous Chinese pairs more...

Wenjing SUI / Cong HAN (CHN)

4Tw
1T+1T - she does 1T+1T+2T, he does 3T+2T
3Li
3FTh

Big mistake on sbs 3T combo, but the other elements were solid. I also thought they seemed a bit hesitant, but still good overall

My impression was they thought their way through that program very very carefully. And that music just seemed too big for them today. Like you said, good overall, but...

Bingley is the sweet one I'd rather have a Bingley than a Darcy (nothing wrong with him, but he's just a little too broody for me).

 

[Sandpiper]

I'm surprised Sui/Han beat Peng/Zhang in PCS (when they couldn't do that in the short with a clean skate)... I guess it's second group magic at work.

 

[sabinfire]

Mistakes all over the place today.

Trankov just said that Pang/Tong were planning to return for Worlds this year and that they already have 2 programs ready!

WHAT?! He's trolling!

Totally OT, but perhaps we could orchestrate a Jane Austen book club in the Library section, going through each book every two weeks or something? Who else saw that Jane Austen Book Club movie?

I didn't see but did Ksenia mess up a little on the SBS jumps?

 

[sabinfire]

Yes.
