[LadyB]

More or less. Still at work, but happy for any reporting/comments anyone makes.
I personally shout for Z/E, but I'm pleased that A/R did so well. They deserve a bit of success.

 

[nimi]

Oh dear...

Such a promising start for AJ & Erika (landed the 3S they screw up in the SP) and then those axels... and that fluke fall... and those falls on throws... :shame:

 

[coldblueeyes]

Erika and AJ opened the first group. Didn't catch everything, but the throws were all over the place. Just, sigh...

 

[nimi]

134.25(? I think) deductions -6...

 

[nimi]

Relatively clean skate from Pfund/Santillan!

 

[coldblueeyes]

Jessica and Joshua need to work on the levels - same thing I said on the SP. They landed four triples - two jumps, two throws.

 

[nimi]

Pfund/Santillan 51.82+49.28=101.10

total 158.10

 

[nimi]

Some nice moments from Purich/Portz.

If they were to skate this program with a lot more command and power I think it could be pretty effective.

ETA: scores not shown on screen... 45.76+4?.?? =95.2(?) , total 147.84

 

[coldblueeyes]

I think Z/E have a bigger chance of winning this because they usually are much more secure in the FP. I wouldn't mind burning my tongue to see A/R winning, though.

 

[nimi]

Next up Efimova/Korovin -- fingers crossed! (I like them)

ETA oh no sbs jumps again...

 

[NoNameFace]

I think Z/E have a bigger chance of winning this because they usually are much more secure in the FP. I wouldn't mind burning my tongue to see A/R winning, though.

I don't mind A/R winning either - for me probably the only Russian pair with quirk I really like, just wish they would be more recognized and consistent

 

[nimi]

Alisa struggling with sbs jumps (again) and some rough/scary moments during lifts (again) but they got through it. Not bad!

ETA: 55.68+54.72=109.40 (ded -1)

total 171.22

 

[coldblueeyes]

GAH! The SBS were almost there, but this program is just the best! The choreography is fantastic.

I don't want to get my hopes up, but it feels like they are finally getting it together.

 

[nimi]

It wasn't perfect but it was pretty good!

Z/E can't afford that many mistakes after this...


ETA: 64.18+59.76=123.94

A/R total score 191.12

 

[WeakAnkles]

Ok, A/R, it's early days and the tech was just plain rough. But this program is so uhm conventional, and they've made more of a splash when they have emphasized their quirkiness. Here the quirks seem bland and forced. The deadpan faces aren't helping. It's a personality program without much in the way of personality so far. I know I'm "supposed" to be charmed, but mostly what I was was, well, sorta bored. But again, early days.

 

[coldblueeyes]

Camera guy was yawning through Z/E - but it wasn't so bad. I think they are probably going to win this.

 

[nimi]

That was probably good enough from Z/E to win?

ETA: 67.58+60.48=128.06

total score 192.58 into 1st

 

[coldblueeyes]

That was probably good enough from Z/E to win?

Just about. A 1.5 points over A/R.
