Pairs LP

[Nadine]

Just got here, shocked there's not a thread yet.

Anyhow, good luck to all the participants!

Thanks for starting the thread Nadine! Hope Kavaguti's shoulder is feeling better today. I'll be doing a live play by play at http://icemusings.blogspot.com/2011/...ree-skate.html for anyone without coverage.

Purich and Schultz are just about to kick us off!

The hahasport link is showing commercials. I'm not sure if it's actually going to show this.

[SkateFiguring]

I had the thread ready to go but Eurosport is running commercials. Isn't it supposed to have started?

first pair starting now

any online live stream without geo blocking?

[jcoates]

That was painful to watch. I feel quite bad for her. They just did not look ready to compete at all at this level.

I'm doing LIVE coverage right here for anybody who doesn't have a video feed http://backstagebarbie.blogspot.com/...kating_12.html

They still seem very junior-like, especially her. She needs to work on her skating skills and stretch.

Feel pretty sad for this young CAN pair - they popped their split triple twist and then she stood there rather embarrassingly while he finished his side by side spin (she attemtped hers then stopped and waited). Think they'll finish at the bottom.

Still, good exposure for them to compete on the international level, no matter they're not quite ready yet.

[Spun Silver]

Oh my gosh, I don't think I ever saw that before - a Rick Perry moment. She just froze - why? Well, it was a rough skate but she's a very pretty skater - lovely posture. It's okay, Natasha, you'll have better skates later on.
