I thin I/P can still a medal here.
P/I fell during the Non-midline sequence (she did, not him), and were VERY cautious throughout the GW section. And the twizzles weren't that great.
45.75. Three deductions.
not a good skate for them. they are young and have room to grow.
they seemed to me to be a bit out of synic
what is happening to dance teams this season?
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.
Replays confirmed he fell.
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.
Just tuned in.. missed Paul and Islam and Ilinykh and Katsalapov :(

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.
