2015 Four Continents Pairs Free Skate Feb 13 Seoul Time

[CaroLiza_fan]

Come on, Chinese teams!

Didn't have time to post anything myself before Sui / Han, but can I just echo those sentiments!

The level of competition has really shot up during that interval. This is going to be an exciting group.

It may be a long shot after the SP, but I'm still rooting for Pang / Tong!

I just love Sui/Han. And even though he isn't as tall as other pair guys I find him to be one of the strongest male pairs skaters. They've worked so hard adjusted accordingly. I love them

Me too

What an opening lift! (What a terrible camera angle that didn't let us appreciate it...) What a 4Tw, what a skate! Sui just proved the key thing: the real champions land the jumps when it counts, even if they're struggling on the practice ice.

If there's any justice in the world... judges, let that be a massive score.

Well that's just par for the course here in Seoul, isn't it :scowl:

 

[Scovies]

I figured her 3S was UR, but how did their TES drop that much?

HOW does he throw her so high?! He looks even thinner and smaller than Marinaro.

I confess, Sui/Han is a team I've never felt the love for. Some good elements, but they remain just so....clunky. This program is a step artistically, for them and maturity-wise, but I'm not sure if it's one in the right direction. The lyrical thing seems kind of inorganic for them. It undermines the joy they previously exuded on the ice.

Rain, I couldn't agree more. Can't feel it for them. Especially not this program.

 

[Alchamei]

What's up with that score! I expected higher...

3STh
FCCoSp3p

Very strong skate, only mistake on sbs 3S. They fistpump! Maybe a bit slower than they're capable of

FS: 63.93+65.76 = 129.69, 198.88, 1st (out of 7) - maybe som UR and lost levels?

Look at that score for pcs -nicely done.

 

[gravy]

Very cool side shot to show the unison during those spins!

[sabinfire]

Not their best skate. And I don't like Muse.

I hate to say it, but me too. And not because of the late hour.

Another strong skate, just a small mistake on sbs 3Lz. But enough for gold and solidify them for WC gold faves

FS: 73.39+70.42 = 143.81, 219.48, 1st (out of 8)

HOW does he throw her so high?! He looks even thinner and smaller than Marinaro.

I always figured part of it is speed but it just looks SO effortless. Chinese magic!

 

[GF2445]

That was a great skate. Not their best but still they are oozing out world champion determination

 

[CanadianSkaterGuy]

Not their best performance. Shaky lutzes, but other elements were clean, including the quad throw. Should be enough to win.

 

[tulosai]

Very cool side shot to show the unison during those spins!

Yup it was unreal- I was like why are they only showing him??? Oh WAIT!

 

[pandatours]

Megan and Eric > Sale/Pelletier. Not their best skate but when they sell it, they are really good.

 

[ruffledgrouse]

Megan just said something about it being the 'hardest long skate they've done' to her coach as she came off the ice. I wonder what's going on.
