I/K: botched lift, and I think he fell. Lovely twizzles though. Don't like this program right now, a little too zombie dread for my taste.

49.14. PCS very close to P/I, but TES bigger. Makes sense - the screw-up on the step sequence was more deleterious than the lift error, score wise. Still don't know where the two of the three deductions for P/I came from though.

As to what happened to dance teams, they are not getting this SD.

For P/I and I/K they also have to learn the Golden, notoriously difficult.

Time to tone down the hype over P/I and I/K. These teams are very inexperienced in big competitions and can't live up to the expectations.
They should be here to learn how to compete on the senior tour

So much for Canadians not doing as well in Russia :rolleye:
I haven't seen their performance but can tell by the 3 deductions that they didn't perform as well as at SC, yet their PCS are only 0.09 lower? Interesting.

They didn't perform as well. She fell during the straight line step sequence, and presumably the two deductions were for overlong/illegal lifts.

M/Z got 57.24!!!

1 Sequential Twizzle Level3 twizzle problems for him still, may have got 4
2 Midline Not Touching Steps Level 3 did she put a foot down on that twizzle?
3 Golden Waltz Segment 1 Level 3 maybe 4
4 Golden Waltz Segment 2 Level 3 definitely not right in the cascade
5 Rotational Lift Level2 small lift problem, lost a level
6 Transitional Lift
About the same as CoC for me, maybe .5 better?

Cup of China, fourth in the SD 52.69
better look for Max

1 Midline Not Touching Steps Level 2 good unison would like deeper edges
2 Golden Waltz Segment 2 Level 2 like the start
3 Golden Waltz Segment 1 Level 4 Nora is great! Max not quite so much.
4 Sequential Twizzle Level ? first set OK then SCREEN FREEZE
5 Rotational Lift Level 3 from the replay, I think. Resetting madly I get back with their bows.

Looked good to me what I could see of it.

She is too blonde for Morticia.

2 Golden Waltz Segment 2 Level 2 where's the pivot? and the ever popular cascade
3 Golden Waltz Segment 1 Level? problem with a step

3 Golden Waltz Segment 2 Level 2 maybe
4 Straight Line Lift Level ?? it was fine, I'm just not sure. Probably level 4
