Pairs LP

holy WOW unbelievable! They have only been together 5 months; she's only 15 or 16 and never skated pairs????? whaaaaaaaaaaaat??? Sure, lot's to work on, but color me impressed. and brave. after that fall just while skating I thought, and now it unravels...but no, she kept it together and they smiled and emoted and skated very well. congrats!

Wow, wow, wow!

Nasty fluke fall part of the way through, but still. That was an amazing skate, especially considering that not only are they a new pair, but Mary Beth is brand new to pairs. A few synchronicity issues (like their side-by-side jumps, actually, more than the spins) but still - I would like to see more of them.

Respectable skate from Marley/Brubaker! Freak tracking fall from both of them, a throw 2flip instead of 3flip, an overall unsteady feeling throughout, but what impressed me most is that they evoke so much more emotion and skate with so much more speed than Denny/Barrett already, and they've only been together 5 months! I think they could possibly have a bright future! Her big smile is infectious and Rockne is a terrific pairs partner! They both have pleasing posture, but just need to clean up their technical elements. Well done!

Very impressed with Rockne and Marybeth. Can't believe they have only been together for 5 months. Nasty fall but they pushed thru the rest of the program very well I might add.

That zoom in on John's face at the beginning was a really nice camera shot.

I am sorry by the pairs team on right now with the white costumes, she has WAY too much black eyeliner on, and has spent too much time tanning she looks orange next to the white outfit.

Standing ovation for Caitlin and John!

And he started to break down in tears, it looked like. Loooooot of stuff thrown on the ice.

throw 3 sal very nice (or was it a loop.

two lifts
final pairs spin.

they are teary eyed. his dad is crying.

[museksk8r]

YES! Y/C didn't wilt! I am in tears! The crowd is giving them a very deserved SO! Only problems I saw were the over-rotated throw 3loop landing, but she held onto it wonderfully, and maybe a slight sync problem in one of their spins, but overall, very nice, and I think it should be enough to win the title so far, depending on what E/L can do. TERRIFIC!

That performance had me in tears. I am so happy for them. Loved it.

61.97 + 62.48 = 124.45 FS

188.45 total score, amazing skate and easily into first by Caitlin and John!

To skate after that by Amanda Evora and Mark Ladwig - could be rough after the crowd reaction.

[Chemistry66]

Lovely throw triple lutz from Amanda and Mark.

[demarinis5]

Amanda and Mark on on. We have a competition here.

One of the best U.S. pairs competitions with hardly any falls (especially on the elements). I'm proud of them all.
