From this document, LEVELS OF DIFFICULTY, PAIR SKATING, SEASON 2016/17:
Makes sense. I watched in slow-mo and Aliona's left leg is no where near 45 degrees. :think: Might need to work on that stretching.

Oh yeah. I know. Sorry. But why didn't Aljona get this feature although she got it last year? The twist is the same.
Actually they are only planning level3. Steps, hands down and clear catch. That split is always a hit or miss to most pairs depending whose the caller. Im really wondering why not a lot of pairs are going for the tano though. I think its only Sui/Hancare attempting this.Makes sense.

Cheers to the czech audience! While the rows were rather empty for the ladies they seem to prefer the pairs discipline and the cheers were loud and uplifting. I take my criticism about the KnC pic and say that I like this arena more than the one for GPF in Marseille. This is what an engaging and supporting crowd (for every nation, pair) should look like. Well done!
I read on twitter.
TAT asked them about it .... they're going for big GOE not levels...
i think they prefer WOW effect for high. but couldn't do the same with difficult steps or the split.
I don't think the audience preference for Pairs was the reason why Ladies SP was so emoty.
My imagination is running wild with visions of fans miming and being all dramatic.

T/M were wonderful, but I think their PCS particularly CH/CO, IN, TR should have been considerably lower that S/M and S/K.
Everyone was great, but there clearly is massive score inflation each year. Last yr, 74 would almost certainly indicate a clean program, not one with a fall, time violation or throw double jump. 80.8 was the same score S/H's program at Worlds got... Even their scores seem to say so, I don't consider Tarasova and Morosov to be one of the top teams in terms of program components.
Anyways James and Cipres were the skate of the night for me. They were overscored too though, everyone should be probably 3-5 points lower.
They fell like 3 times in the free. There's another K&C where he's the drama queen and walks out before getting their scores while Vanessa is crying but I forget which competition. They are certainly one entertaining team!
I am thinking TAT is finally losing it. During M/H skate, she said that Valentina might be having an orgasm during one of the lifts as she closed her eyes. Then stating that it is not uncommon as she have seen it many times actually happen to some of her skaters she used to train.
