Caitlin YANKOWSKAS / John COUGHLIN USA

Nice Split 3 twist

Throw 3 Salchow- nice solid landing

SBS 3 toes- nice!

Off on SBS spins at first but then corrected at the end

I like the connection between these two. Nice job!

Score: 52.42

Caitlin YANKOWSKAS / John COUGHLIN USA
SP Music by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

She in pwincess pink, he in black
Another good skate
SBS 3T's landed
Throw 3S, odd setup, didn't flow
Lost unison in the SBS spins

3 Ksenia OZEROVA / Alexander ENBERT RUS

Not liking the costumes.

Split 2 twist

SBS 3 toes- she falls

Throw 3 flip?- she under-rotated and 2 footed landed, step out

Don't really feel any emotional connection between them. They seemed slow out there.

Score: 40.28

Ksenia OZEROVA / Alexander ENBERT RUS
SP Don Quixote by Leon Minkus

Dark ultramine practice costumes with huge gold ankhs on the front for them both.

Nice twist, a bit lateral
Off on the SBS 3T takeoff, she fell
DS 1 rev only, not very low, and no foot grabbing
Spins way out of synch
footwork, slow, to slow music
3F throw, turnout and two foot on the landing
PS may or may not count-she put the other foot down during the start of the spin.

40.28

Denney/Barret
Great to see the roller skating roots here. The chair lift was very good, and both Florida teams are doing it.

[maoyuna]

Caydee DENNEY / Jeremy BARRETT USA

Split 2 twist

SBS 3 toe- she hand down, he step out, almost went into boards

Nice throw 3 flip- landed right on beat of music

Good unison on SBS spins.

Wish she would stretch more on the lifts.

Giving the footwork lots of energy.

Awkward catch going into final pose, looked like they were going to trip, then Jeremy caught her.

Nice performance overall.

Score: 55.46 new SB currently 1st

End of group 1

Caydee DENNEY / Jeremy BARRETT USA
SP Firebird by Igor Stravinski
SP score at NHK 55.20 (Third at NHK)

She's in an orangy red feathery skirt costume. She's the bird, in case you didn't guess. There's a little feather pinned in her hair.

He has borrowed one of those black skating suits with the v neck chest baring look more typical of John Baldwin.

Tw OK
3T's-turnout, stumbly on landing
3Fth OK
Kind of empty here in the beginning
Death spiral nice, two revs
Spins went out of synch at the very end
nice complex lift
footwork off the music, off each other (may be IN problem though)
P/S awkward, particularly in the recentering

Score 55.46 (SB, just, into first)

On to the next warmup!

[HCOSurfer]

I don't care how many skaters are using it this season, I absolutely LOVE their Firebird.

Webcasting of roller worlds should start in some 5 minutes. (free dance!)
Time for skating multi tasking...

[Enthusiast]

Could SC not have chosen a more suitable arena to hold this event, the rink is so small..Anyways, can't wait for S/S, hope they destroy the field this time!

[beep_beep]

Speeeeeedy! :argh:

[MissIzzy]

Clean skate for L&H(I think).
Wonder what Speedy's doing here. Wasn't there supposed to be some speed skating event somewhere this weekend?

Anabelle LANGLOIS / Cody HAY CAN
SP Fascination

An SP with actual choreo!!
Well it's that schmalz waltz Fascination, but I still like it.
Nice use of the arms
3T, her landing not top shelf
Lovely twist beautiful catch, integral to the choreo
3Fth she lands it, again some diceyness in landing, not bad
spins mostly ok

Death spiral, skate caught in fabric on entry, neatly extracted, and a nice job
f/w some in waltz hold, nice, actual choreo
Lift into an ugly position, rotate out
Pair spin starts immediately.

Score 55.52, just into 1st

[HCOSurfer]

Go D/D

[snowflake]
