2016 NHK Trophy Pairs FS

[Mista Ekko]

Wipeout by P/J. D/R barely wins.

And think of the promise we had,

With all the first 4 Pairs getting PBs ^_^

 

[ruffledgrouse]

Every time I see them written as Peng/Jin, I think "penguin." So, they shall henceforth be Team Penguin.

(It's too late for my brain to work properly. You should probably ignore everything I say from here on out.)

Eek, what was that fall? And ANOTHER one? Nuuuuu

Ignore? That's a great suggestion! TEAM PENGUIN!

Peng's dress is gorgeous, her wipeout into the boards was not hwell:

Another lousy pop-n-splats event for the 2016 GP. It's almost as if the skaters are making them mandatory at least once for every competition.

 

[ancientpeas]

Ack. I think she also missed her foot grab in the lift.

Peng / Jin: Still don't get the choreography being so far apart for the SBS 2A, with Peng taking a bad step-out. Another fall from Peng on the SBS 3T (shame). Good recovery with the triple twist and death spiral. Nice run-out on the throw 3Lo and a very solid throw 3S. Missed the leg grab on the lasso lift, though, and the spin was average. Really lost the opportunity to capture gold here. Strange to say but I think Kayne and O'Shea had the best performance of the night?!

If I wanted to watch this much crashing I'd put on Canada's Worst Driver.

 

[Mista Ekko]

Well, they had a shot at winning, Shame

 

[mrrice]

That was kind of an anticlimactic ending to the pairs event. :confused2:

And whenever they announce her full name, I always hear "Sean Penn" instead of Cheng Peng.

Duhamel and Radford win............. yay?

Haha, thanks! I'm very tired (even though it's 10:47...I usually go to sleep earlier), so I figured anything I posted would probably make as much sense as the decision to use the English lyrics to Umbrellas of Cherbourg in your program. (Pet peeve of mine. Keep it in French! It's pretttier.)

KABOOOOOOOOM. :dance2:

The skating universe can't handle too much of a good thing.

 

[Lindacrow]

That was underwelming...lets hope the men and ladies have their mojo back?

 

[Tastetherainbow]

Seems like NHK always has a messy Pairs LP.

My prediction was right! Overperforming Group 1, underperforming Group 2. Equilibrium wins once more.

 

[solar]

At least they made the GPF.

 

[Mista Ekko]

Duhamel and Radford win............. yay?

Well they keep their winning streak,

But they'll probably want to forget this one

 

[ancientpeas]

So D/R and Peng and Jin go to the GPF, right? And S/B is in?

 

[ruffledgrouse]

Oh man I can't WAIT to see Meagan's winner's interview

I wonder what Maxim's saying
