Their transition dance lift move had been considered as a failed pair lift, and the actual lift they did later on was considered extra element and got zero point! costed them about 9 points in tes. What's the problem with the technical panel? the pair did exactly the same program as they did in the previous two competitions. No problem before but now they got this surprising call.

Too bad. I had predicted them for the bronze, and now the tech panel intends to ruin it for me! But seriosly, if the program was the exact the same as earlier in the season, then I feel really bad for them.

Perhaps the dance lift also had the required toe entrance?

The top two teams were so much better than the rest.

Yu/Jin had good technical skills and actually nice choreography, but man were they dull. Slow and no energy or presentation skills.

I don't think I've ever seen a Japanese team win a pairs event before.

They won a JGP last year.
