If I registered, would I be able to watch replays and video clips, or only the live stream? Thanks. I'm in the US, so if the former, I'll register tout de suite.
Where are the people saying Shen/Zhao were overscored after the SP in SA?
compared to S/Z,,,, SS's SP in this event is really overscored,,,,,,,the jump, the spin........... and they lost speed at the second half of the program,,,especially the footwork....
Savchenko seems unhappy with the score.............. dunno what they expect........80?
they didn't skate as good as they did in TEB, especially the technical elements.. they look a bit stressed.......they should be happy about this score,,,,it would be much lower if the judges dont protect them too much
but SS are always SP experts, so LP is apparently more important to them.
Hope they do well,,, and make the final!
I really dont like the costumes, a bit over the top.....did savchenko design it by herself again?
DD's score surprised me a bit,,,,,I like their program more than MT's,,,they should get more PCS,,but I feel like what happened last year will happen again,,,,115 is not too high but not too low for them, the chance is still in their hands
good luck.
nevergonnadance, I think their short at the 2008 worlds was clean, if still tentative. They had a couple of errors in their long, but it was probably the best they've ever skated.
But then again, we're living in the era of Savchenko/Szolkowy, who won with a poorly executed long in 2008 and again in 2009 despite the fall.
S/S ; They did a very good job (though i hate the costume), they skated to the music and their elements were very clean, except for pair spin which traveled a little. But their score was very well deserved for that performance (Just my opinion).
M/T: had very good speed and gave a very good performance, they only had trouble on the landing of throw 3 loop. And i thought they connected better to each other than in the past.
D/D: They performance was ok until Jessica popped their intended sbs 3S, i believe program suits them a lot but Jessica looked very tensed through out the program.
As far as S/Z sp goes, i liked their sp a lot. I was only critical about their LP, which i thought was slow .
Nadine, where were you able to watch the pairs?
It's because of G&G that pairs are (potentially) my favorite discipline although S&Z were the only team holding my interest after B&S left. I do think B&S did some stuff even better than G&G - they were like G&G reloaded - but they had weaknesses in their game that G&G didn't have.
Robin (can't spell his last name just now) actually reminds me of Sergei Grinkov on the ice - his height, his build, his demeanor, his style of expression.
