Is it just me, or did Jessica look out of it/uncommitted even before they took their opening pose?

I have to hand it to Jessica, her many years on the international stage have given her polish as a pair skater, she calls the shots (literally during the sbs spins :biggrin: ), and is the one in charge, good to see. :cool:

Too bad about all the falls though. :cry:

l want to cry for D/D. Horrible skate. It's after 3 falls that I really worry about the lifts but they did OK there. His free arm on the last lift was waving ominously though. Well, I know she's tough and will regroup. Don't know anything about him.

I agree with Doris I loved their spiral. Side by side spins not bad either. THe rest was painful to watch. I hope the Canadians are just getting this out of their system before Worlds. Really sad.

Total 154.79 into second

Lawrence & Swiegers
Music: Man in the Iron Mask, Nouvelle France

good speed to start
into 3tw and moved out of it well

3t's too far apart to really check whether both hit them
lift with really neat pos with Paige facing the ceiling
2a 2a sequence bad unison

sbs spins start flying camel
nice spin speed and pretty good unison

Really cool death spiral entrance
rats he loses his pivot and his knee goes down

pair spirals nice edges

nice but not super throw 3 Lp

Now Mask swordfight music

lift- good ice coverage for this lift

throw 3f small but done

lift you can tell he's tiring and the dismount is rough

pair spin. Man is he spent. Get oxygen.

Done and both are still alive. Good job!

I think that was (for me) hands down the best so far. They were visibly tired/slowing down by the end though. I will never get over how awesome that first lift is. Audience seemed into it, though maybe that was helped by the disaster skates before them.

Holy Smokes, I give them props for making it through without incident! :bow:

He was literally trying to smile while catching gulps of air, and the look of fear on her face when they did that one pair lift was scary. :eek:

ps: this music always reminds me of Anissina & Peizerat "MITIM". :cool:

Well, they stepped up, for the most part. Good for them.

Two nitpicks: that is not only an ugly entrance to the DS, I think it was the ugliest DS I have ever seen. And they need to hit their ending pose with a bit of eclat. (Actually, given the history of the fight music, they need to 'attack' that whole section with eclat. They're pretty one-dimensional.)

^I noticed that look on her face in the lift too! Pairs is so scary.

Swiegers is so tall and handsome... I do not like the music. I loved Yagudin's 2002 LP but it just did not work for me with the pair's elements. They were not in sync with the music or at least it seemed off.

But there are so many to choose from in the COP era. I agree, though, that was pretty eye-blistering. She looked like one of the clocks from The Persistence of Memory.
