2018 US Championships Sr. Pairs SP

Rohene! No wonder I liked this program

Go Liu/Johnson!

 

[skylark]

Well, another Wow ... Brian Johnson is a Performer. And Chelsea/Brian's elements, skating, musical commitment, are all so in synch! Great program.

Not working for me, literally won’t start. Just keeps jumping and freezing.

The performance is not good for me, either. I just try to reload the page when it freezes.

 

[cleo2070]

I'm confused... are there five pairs in a group?

 

[Lissy]

Wow Tarah and Danny have improved so much since the year they won. I love them!

I wish her underskirt wasn't grey/silver. It takes away from her dress.

 

[charmblade]

It's SOOOO good to see Tarah and Danny back. I'll even forgive the program to POTO (for the second time, no less).

 

[TMC]

Ooh I managed to get the NBC stream working via VPN! Now I’m afraid to even leave the page hahaha

Was that Jim Peterson with a SUPER loud YEAH after the throw

 

[Nathan13]

I took a risk and put Tarah and Danny as my gold medalists in my predictions...doesn't seem so far fetched now...

 

[semosk8tfan]

Tarah and Danny! So beautiful, yep. I have tears.

 

[mice]

I love Tarah and Danny. Did they get their SBS jumps? I think my feed froze.

 

[labgoat]

Very happy for Tarah & Danny, there's the skaters I've missed. Love the smiles during the skate. Great sbs jumps. Was not a fan of POTO but liked their version since they seemed to enjoy it so much. Welcome back!

 

[Heleng]

Way to go Tarah and Danny! Love their program and costumes.

4. There are 5 in dance.

Yes landed cleanly

 

[TMC]

Wow there sure are a lot of commercials on US tv!!

Kayne and O Shea are wonderful; I hope the judges stay open minded before they assume Knerim's; Chris was a bit lucky today with the salchow. I do admit the Knerims have more fire and polish. O Shea needs a new shirt - that blouse does not work well at all; it looks like an after thought - like he was in a rush and grabbed whatever he could from Kayne's closet lol. They just need more presence. Great job by them and Knerims.

Thank you. I guess I need sleep, because I'm still confused. Is this Group 2 then? When was the warm-up? :scratch:

 

[labgoat]

interesting that the guys are the ones missing their sbs jumps today

 

[Skater Boy]

I know it is early but I sense the Knerims are favored for the Oly and adding Kayne O Shea for world's. Both are capable of beating the no. 2 and 3 Canadians.

Please, Kayne & O'Shea have one of the weakest triple twists on the Sr pairs circuit. And they watered down their throw here to a 3STh, which they did relatively poorly. It was small, low and 2-footed. I truly have no idea how they are even within 3 points of Scimeca & Knierim. There would be a more significant gap in an international competition. You would have thought they had been doing well in international competitions with the way they were held up here.
