you missed nothing good

So it would seem, poor kids

Tough skate for Walsh / Michaud...many mistakes, even the landings of their lifts were rough :sad21:

It's Walsh and Michaud right now.

What is going on with Evelyn's jumps now? She just doesn't seem to be able to land anything.

I wonder about it too... She seems so wonky on landings and finishing of other elements... There is no stability put on the landing leg, no support...

Her falls are very weird. I think it's a mental thing; she almost seems to be giving up on the landing. But the falls are so atypical that I think it's actually a good sign? Seems like she's not used to falling like that. As unfortunate as this competition has been for them, I think the experience will do her good. Toughen her up.

Digerness and Neudecker love their costumes

I don’t know what’s going on with Evelyn. She didn’t seem to have jump issues last year.

Eurovision does not work right now...hopefully CBC will be OK

 

[NoNameFace]

Ah, Adam's music...

 

[anonymoose_au]

Wow go Nica and Danny!

Aww and as I type that they fall on the combos.

 

[Colonel Green]

Yay, cleanly landed SBS jumps!

EDIT: And then they both mess up the second set. Sigh.

 

[ruffledgrouse]

Oh no! It was going so well until that combo.

Love those lift positions, nice recovery

Might still be growing, she's quite young still. And it's senior debut, obviously a nervous experience.

I think I'm going to be mildly obsessed with her. This is like my fifth comment about her. But she definitely looks tough; not happy with with skate, but she wasn't distraught by it. I think she'll persevere.

 

[twirlingblades]

shame about the combo, they were doing so well.

 

[penniavaswen]

Someone check the ice >.<
Maybe it's nerves, but the number of trips feel like they've been high.

 

[ruffledgrouse]

Was she trying to catch her blade on that lift? Will that lose them a level that she didn't?

 

[NoNameFace]

Nica has similar fairyness to her like Tarasova has, she appears delicate, but she is hella strong!

 

[s_parks]

Messy on the supposed-to-be combo and a few other bobbles, but commendable effort.

 

[ancientpeas]

Well done. Nice forward inside death spiral.

I hope so. Since they are at Sr GP level I wish she would stop competing in singles and just focus on pairs.
