2015 Nebelhorn Trophy Pairs SP and Free Skate

[Alex D]

Alex and Chris quad twist planned!

 

[tulosai]

I REALLY liked J/C, probably close to the best I've ever seen them skate!! I thought this program really worked for them!!

 

[Violet Bliss]

J/B - She fell on sbs but I really like they performance. Very nice lifts.

 

[tulosai]

Gosh Chris looks old on this stream...

Yes, this is the first program of theirs I've really liked! Definitely enjoyed that. Some daring lifts too.

OK, is it just me or is anybody else getting annoyed with all these monologues that have started to appear this season.

I am sure that is not what the ISU were thinking of when they decided to allow vocals.

(Which they shouldn't have allowed, anyway!)

Alexa and Chris now. Let's hope it's better than yesterday.

I thought S/K really did well actually I imagine this will put them comfortably into first for now.

 

[semosk8tfan]

For once S/K have a program I like, by the end of the season this could be amazing. But a Sappenfield team should never end with a spin.

I actually like both of their programs this year :shocked:

 

[lauravvv]

Well, now I have a feeling that Scimeca/Knierim are going to win the free skate. Their short program fail certainly lit a fire under them. Not so sure about Volosozhar/Trankov.

 

[Violet Bliss]

S/K - Not perfect but they did great. Quad Twist! Jump problems but I was impressed how she pulled off the throws. Good program and coordinated effort. Bravo!

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

Yes. Much better than yesterday.

Not sure if it is enough to get ahead of Vanessa and Morgan overall, though.

Edit: They did.

Tatiana and Maxim next!!!

[Violet Bliss]

I'm not into the heavy dramatic music. They don't seem to be either.

eta - Well. That ending! But the executions were great.

 

[paircheck]

Drama trankov is done .-)

 

[Princessroja]

V/T...

 

[machin]

The three lifts at the ends makes the program ugly. Music is beautiful, sadly, they almost never interpret it.
