^^^ thanks for the explanation... if I understand correctly they held a lift too long?

Now tell me about Ms Pechelat's fall. Which was worse between the two errors in question - an extended in time lift or a fall? Just wanting to know.

Joe, Nathalie Pechalat suffered no miscues in the OD. It was Federica Faiella who fell, and since it was not on an element, F/S did not take a big hit because of it (rather like what happened with the Zhangs at CoR).
While on the topic of Faiella, why does she always look startled when she skates? It's her standard expression, eyes wide and mouth open regardless of what they're skating to.

it's the "dramatic effect" that so many skaters (especially the pairs skaters that come out of CO) have... it's ANNOYING. Just because your mouth is WIDE OPEN it doesn't mean you are feeling the music or are being *dramatic*

sorry; Colorado... I'm lazy this morning and didn't want to write it out. 
it's really just one coach who had a lot of pairs qualify for nationals last year, and it didn't matter what piece of music they were skating to all the girls had that "dramatic look" with their mouth as wide open as possible (Keana is no exception). I personally think it looks rediculous, and when you sit through one pair after the other with the SAME LOOK but different music it grates on the nerves.

And yes, it seems to be a strange habit.

It's not dramatic. It's just ugly. One day one of these unfortunate skaters will end up swallowing an insect, which could definitely lead to messed-up twizzles

of course it was Ms Faiella. My stupid mistake. It did look like she hit an edge.

What were Weaver/Poje like? I'd love to see their new program, but I can't find it anywhere online.
