Marcoux/Buntin, L'Amour

3T+2T
2Tw, ok, but low
SpSt
2A
PCoSp
5ALi
Th3R
5SLi
Th3S, wobble on landing
FCCoSp, loss of unison, but rather minor
4Li
SlSt
BoDs

I found this program rather boring, they did athe elements, but i just isn't truly competitive with the restof the field here.

Petrova/Tikhonov, Moonlight Sonata

3Tw, ok
3T, he doubles
2A+2A he turnout from the first landing
Th3R
5ALi
5SLi
FiDs
Th3S, I really want to see protocol here, because I think she *landed* it and then got a blade caught and fell, it would be itneresting to see what the callers said
did not complete the 3Li
StSp, slowly
FCCoSp, she was "hopping" all the way through the first position and travelled badly on the other ones
SlSt, ok
and she slipped on doing nothing and fell
PCoSp

Ironically, I loved this performance more than I loved the two previous ones... I am finally able to see the glimpses of the program behind all those elements.

Savchenko/Szolkowy, The Mission

Th3F, high
3T+3T, I think clean
3Tw, high
5TLi, very slow carry
SpSt
5ALi
Th3S
2A she singled and two footed hers
FCCoSp, out of unison
SlSt
3Li laboured
BoDs, change of hold, change of position, exit to dance lift
PCoSp

Well done after bad SP, but she was cautious and they did not really attack it.

Inoue/Baldwin, Puccini Medley

3T, he doubles
2Tw, very low
BoDs, change of hold
3Li 1 hand up
CCoSp, out of unison
5SLi
PCoSp
Th3A, step out, but at least she did not fall
SpSt, slow
Th3r... something werid happened on take off, looked like he "forgot" to throw her and she did not really leave the ice
2A+2T
SlSt
5ALi

Rather empty, but they did most of their elements. They don't really belong to the top of world Pairs, but they did their job (well, mostly) and should be proud of it.

Zhang/Zhang, Offsprings of Dragon

3Tw, huge
3T she fell her went on to complete the second one
Th3S, huge
5TLi, very slow carry
PCoSp
BoDs, she slipped from the edge on entry and it did not happen
Th3R
3S
SpSt, hooray they finally learned to raise their leg to the same height
5ALi
CiSt, ok
FCCoSp, very far away and way out of unison
3Li

She was very slow in the second half, like she is struggling to just go on.

Shen/Zhao, Meditation

3T2T
2A
3Tw, high
5ALi
FoDs, change of hold
FCCoSp
3Li
SlSt, nice interaction
Th3R
Th3S
SpSt, slow, but directly to
PCoSp
5SLi

Once again just perfect. Even the best of the runners up, like Savchenko&Szolkowy have years ahead of them to learn this kind of unison...

Thanks so much for the report. It's too bad that Pet/Tik and I/B didn't medal - this was one venue for them to possibly be on the podium. I really like Pet/Tik's moonlight sonata, it is lovely.

So glad to hear that S/Z skated well, it makes me really, really happy!!! Congrats to them!

S/S have so much potential - I love their line, positions and choreography - I hope they continue to grow and develop.
