140.24 for Wang & Zhang into first.

Duhamel & Radford
Canada

3Tw good
they are skating to music quite well
3t?F?2t2t (didn't catch the opening edge) Looked like it might be a flip????

sloppiness in first jump by Megan
3S Megan down

death spiral weak position

he picks her up out of a spiral, down, into spins
nice spins, mostly in unison

pair spiral-he can't quite get his leg up to match

lift with chang of positions, lets her down and she goes through his legs
quickly into throw 3loop

nice section

lift
throw 3f/3lz weak landing

nice lift decent exit

pair spin they're having trouble with it. It's much the same spin as the SP.

Poor D/R. I think she told him sorry when it was over but he is being a good sport. Just a really rough skate for them. Lifts exquisite as always though. I hope they come out strong at Worlds.

I loved their speed at the very beginning, but overall just a blah program, but good job. :)

I would suggest, since they're more of an athletic pair, to use some peppy energetic music to get not only the crowd going but themselves as well.

Why? Why do Canadian pairs love skating to muzak versions of Coldplay songs so much? Where does this sickness come from?

I was hoping Duhamel and Radford could redeem themselves better than this, but I guess every competition can't be good for everyone.

She never gave up on the performance and smiled throughout. They did not look in sync to me in some parts. I think that their height difference makes them look awkward skating together at times. I really like this couple and hope they continue to improve; they seem like lovely people.

She would benefit from some different styling, I think--like softer hair, perhaps. He's also so much bigger than she is that it makes it more difficult for them to look like a cohesive team. Nice score, though.

THey seem decently pleased. She keeps saying she can't believe they got that high. I kind of can't either but that is nice for them :)

The score was still decent. I don't think they'll be on the podium, but might move up a few spots. It was still a nice program despite the mistakes.

Universal Sports finally came on with it... but now we're just talking about the SPs... and how Andrea Joyce would rather just talk American pairs apparently...

Oh, there's the warmup group! GO AMANDA AND MARK!

I sometimes wonder why I even bother to watch the early groups, but I suppose it's like at the movies, one doesn't wish to miss anything, leastways me. :biggrin:

GOOOOOOOOOOOOO EVORA & LADWIG!!!!! :rock: :love: :party:

Btw, I have to hand it to Dube & Wolfe yesterday, I have to say when they did their sbs jumps right *on* time to the music, it was exquisite, perfectly timed, never seen anything quite like that, impressed. :bow:
