I'm shocked what happened with Stolbova/Klimov. Everything was going so well and they did all the jumps and throws, but then messed up multiple lifts and a spin, with him just stopping mid-ice for a long time to fiddle with his skate. I've never seen that before, it was so out-of-body. The program is pretty good for a Carmen, so I really hope they deliver on the Grand Prix.
Some really weird things happening across this pairs competition in general. Never would have expected Della Monica/Guarise to win the LP, but he's been one of the hottest guys in skating for some time now, so good on them if they are making a real improvement this year (but their performance was quite messy to me)!
