[Tonichelle]

I always find it an odd choice when a skater/pair chooses a song with the word "fallin" or "fall" in the title. I think that just asks for jump trouble. LOL

 

[LadyB]

I can't even begin to describe how nervous I am already! :scard8:
Of course I want with all my heart that S/K win. I'll need a lot of positive thoughts knowing their little hiccups and bad luck sometimes. If everything goes well, this should not be a problem.
I do like T/M a lot and genuinely wish them well, but I think both their programmes are no match for the Besame Mucho & Carmen variations Ksenia & Fedor are able to show. If they sort out their weak spots, they could be back at their best, which is totally awesome.

A/R do deserve a bit of good luck, I like their SP. I looooooove M/H, hope they have great skates too. Welcome back S/B, about time!
Most of all: tape your bootlaces, Fedy my love! :luv17:

Update: Latest interview with Fedor. He says his health has been restored and that they'll go for the triple twist, no matter what!!!

[3T3T]

A bit of a dilemma for me here, I’m a big fan of both T/M and S/K. I expect them to go 1-2 but based on the Seniors B’s so far I think T/M are the favourites.

S/K didn’t have the best outing in Finlandia but despite the errors I liked both programmes and think they have great potential. A few weeks of extra training should hopefully stand them in good stead. I was slightly nervous watching T/M in Nebelhorn and the free was not near as bad as I expected (still not my favorite of theirs). TES wise everything was done well but PCS wise I think they have work to do.

One thing that was evident from both of them was that the quality of their skating is superior to all the other couples. I always knew that with S/K but it really struck with T/M when I watched them after S/M, I felt they were far superior to S/M.

It will be interesting to see who rounds out the podium. I assume it will be S/B but I think A/R or M/H could push them. I hope everyone skates well.

 

[whatif]

How are S/K looking in practice, any reports?

 

[Sugarpova]

Go AR!

 

[ruffledgrouse]

This is a cute opening ceremony! Who's the violinist? Is he famous in Russia?

 

[Sabrina]

Good luck Juliane and Charlie!:luv17:

Wasn't that Edvin Marton?

 

[StitchMonkey]

Did Russia just use NBCs intro... I think they did. Same music and pics and sequence.

Hope this helps.

I'm going to give the Pairs a miss, because I want to make sure I'm finished eating before the Ladies start.

ALL THE BEST EVERYBODY!!!

Hi, is there anybody who can provide me a link?

 

[ancientpeas]

I'm here for pairs. My favourite! Please let the board hold up.

No aborted lifts or crashy twists! I've stopped wishing for sbs jumps to be clean or sbs spins to be synched so I hold out for good lifts.

Good luck to T/M, S/K and of course my favourites Julianne and Charlie. *fingers crossed*

Go go go S/K

 

[ruffledgrouse]

Wasn't that Edvin Marton?

Wikipedia: Edvin Marton is a Ukrainian-born Hungarian composer and violinist. He became known as the violinist of the skaters, mainly because Evgeni Plushenko, Stéphane Lambiel, and other famous skaters often skated to his music.
