The French are big on drama.
The French are big on drama.
Pechalat/Bourzat seemed a bit cautious, maybe they were nervous, but no major mistake. Will this be enough for bronze? Depends on levels...
I'd love to see P/B take the bronze, but honestly, W/P were better. The crowd was really carrying this program though.
So crazy! I've never seen them miss those EVER. As I said, I think Alex and Maia wanted so BAD to do well and prove their bronze was not a fluke I think their nerves got to them.
Oh by the way, Katelin is SO sweet. Love that she's hugging them both even though she's going to likely lose the bronze to them.
ah! seeing kaitlyn run towards nathalie to hug!
PB overscored, but we are in France. I don't mind their bronze though
great score it would have scored a bit higher like a 105.
but great job from p/b.
I have to say that Kaitlyn Weaver rushing to hug Nathalie and Fabian was just lovely. And that I am thrilled for P/B!
P/B gets a season's best with that cautious performance, while D/W is way off their SB with a spectacular one... Yeah, no, the judges aren't being tough across the board. Davis/White is getting lowballed for some reason.

So they get their home/sympathy medal. I'm only not disgusted because W/P did better at 4CCs. It's hard to tell how P/B skated, I'm too distracted by the bandaids and flying threads.
Kaitlyn seems like a really nice person. I never see anyone say that, people on forums seem to think she's some nasty diva. I guess it's a book-cover thing.
Surprising score for P/B for that workmanlike performance.
