Great skate by P/T!! (save for that one hand down) Loved it!

Now I hope the next three teams really bring it! :rock:

How are P/T worse in the expression department than Z/Z? They are no S/Z but they're pretty good.

Z/Z all season long have looked like they would rather be anywhere else than skating--especially Dan. Something is going on behind the scenes with this couple.

I feel like they always look like that. :laugh:


Pang and Tong are definitely well above them in the expression department.

Judging by that performance, P/T should be on the podium, and by a relatively big margin. Let's see.

Nice for M/T to have skated another almost clean lp

Really nice skate from M/T! Out of unison on the SBS spins, but the rest was very secure. Impressive! I just don't like that program though. There's not much choreography at all, and they do nothing with that music.

Really enjoyed S/S. This is much better than their previous lp. They had some minor problems though, and won't overtake a clean S/Z with this.

And they go behind Pang/Tong!

What a beautiful program from S/S... Too bad about the first 2 jumps.

Solid skate by M/T, but didn't quite have the emotional impact of P/T for me.

Ow, rough skate for S/S. 2nd behind P/T

Shen/Zhao::love: as usual. They are just legends. Wonder if they'll break 140 for this?
