I will say, that I love Jessica’s leg and arm positions in that death spiral. So elegant!

oops, botched dismount

 

[anonymoose_au]

Oh noooo the dreaded combo!

Love that death spiral though.

 

[CellarDweller]

oh damn

Chris and the cat!

Giant score!

First Ross and now Chris!

Does this mean that American skaters are cat people?

 

[CellarDweller]

You can see it in their faces......they are disappointed.

 

[anonymoose_au]

That choreo sequence is amazing! And they got huge GOE for it too!

 

[Lamente Ariane]

That might drop them behind Cain-Gribble/Leduc? Then again, they had an SP lead.

 

[Jammers]

C/J really have topnotch skating skills with power and speed but they can't land the damn jumps!!

First Ross and now Chris!

Does this mean that American skaters are cat people?

Chris and Alexa have both cats and dogs. I believe she is more the cat person and he is more the dog person.

Aw, rough skate for Brian and Jessica but I think (hope) they'll still end up with silver.

 

[Arriba627]

Stunning lifts -- oops, little bobble on that last dismount. I hope they're not getting a mental block on their jumps! Still, a very nice skate. Met him at Sk Amer 2019. Super nice guy.

 

[anonymoose_au]

Well the Gecko is giving them a standing O at least

 

[Colonel Green]

And so it was foretold, and so it was written, there shall always be an American pairs team that could contend for World medals if they could only land their side-by-side jumps.

EDIT: That lift dismount could have been as bad as Ashley Cain in Zagreb.

 

[CellarDweller]

If they get the silver, I'll be surprised.

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Brian calling his dad out for not smiling!

 

[anonymoose_au]

Aww I was thinking this was gonna be an amazing uplifting ad, but then it turned out to be about getting a home loan.

 

[CellarDweller]

Color me surprised. I thought that CG/L would take the silver after those errors, specifically the disaster on that dismount.
