Do you have an ID?
Registration is free, but I'm not sure if you can do it without a Korean residence registration number.

Love Story
He doesn't have the super-tight bodysuit anymore!

Throw 4S with little speed, fully rotated but step-out
SBS 3T-3T sequence...not sure if it'll be ratified as a sequence, both jumps clean
3twist, very nice
Lasso lift
Another lift, difficult dismount but not very smooth
Death spiral, slowing
Spirals into Throw 3R, clean
Right into 2As, nice
Star lift (I think) with difficult carry variation
SBS spins, out of sync at end
Spiral sequence, extensions do not match and very slow
SBS steps, a tad slow, but probably the most emotional part so far
Pairs spin, slowing towards end

Almost clean, but it just doesn't feel like a cohesive program. Also, much slower throughout than their SP. They seem happy in KnC.

118.77 - big PB for 1st and 1st overall with 181.74

Mukhortova/Trankov
Rachmaninov Elegy
Red and black outfits

Superior speed from the getgo
SBS 3T, she had problems
3twist, nice
SBS 3S, she was low on landing bu clean
Spiral into lasso lift
Throw 3R, clean
Spiral sequence, slowing as it goes but extensions are well-matched
Throw 3S, clean!
Lasso lift into spread eagle carry
Pairs spin, good speed
SBS spins difficult and good sync
SBS steps musical but simpler
Star lift with catchfoot
Death spiral, relatively nice

Good performance! They missed the combo but this is something they've been working for. Even she seems very happy.

116.72 - 2nd and 2nd overall with 179.82
They're not happy they're behind K/S. She's playing with the stuffed animals.

Savchenko/Szolkowy
Cirque du Soleil music
Pink/purple costumes

Huge throw 3F
SBS 3T-2A sequence, he singled the axel
Nice 3twist with difficult entry
Lasso lift with interesting position & very long carry afterwards
SBS 3S, he had a bad fall
SBS spins, fast, good positions and synchro
Pairs spin in both directions
Spiral sequence, smooth
Lasso lift with catchfoot throughout and on exit
Death spiral, ugly at end
SBS steps, right with music. Their SBS twizzles are better than most dance teams.
Star lift
Besti squats into Throw 3S, nice

She had a great day, he had a really bad one. Too bad...the program's growing on me, too. Looks like the Zhangs will win this...really too bad that he was having an off jumping day. Ingo looks very angry with Robin.

119.17 - 1st and 1st overall with 185.95. The crowd is whistling.

The Myth (soundtrack)
Red & black costumes

They are very choppy...
2A-3T, she doubled 3T
3twist, huge as always
Lasso lift into star lift
Difficult entry into lasso/star lift
Pairs spin, rather unattractive overall
Throw 3S, big
SBS steps, rather slow and simple
SBS 3S, he saved the landing big time
SBS spins, good synchro but not fast
Throw 3R, not a perfect landing but clean I guess
Spiral sequence, slow
Star lift
Death spiral.

They got this. The Germans can beat them clean, I think, but that's not a really frequent occurrence.

122.72 - 1st and 1st overall with 192.68. S/S did beat them on PCS, and K/S beat them on TES.

Zhangs overmarked as usual, and a win by default thanks to the Germans mistakes. Ho hum forgettable in every way at the top. The only highlight was seeing the two Russian teams skate so well at home.

I have to say you're really annoying and unpolite with strange taste.
keeping saying harsh words, all in all, you're a very mean person.

I have to say you have only had 3 posts here and they are all complaining that I dare to not like your heroes the Zhangs. All in all I would say you are quite a useless poster. :biggrin:

And I would say you're both throwing unnecessary personal remarks and making this thread unpleasant to read.:frown2:
Is this actually enough for K&S to make the finale? Obviously it wouldn't be in one of the other three disciplines, but with the third events getting thrown about I could see it happening. But how certain is it right now anyway?*needs to go examine NHK lineup*
