Sooo excited for M/B

B&H -- such a beautiful team, but her jumps were off today. And she could use a little more gynecological coverage. Technical q: if she doesn't rotate her throw jump, can it be his fault as well? People always seem to talk about throw jump issues as the ladies' mistake.

Haha it is true about the gynecological coverage.

Strange popping of throw jumps.

Berton/Hotarak put me to sleep. Such plodding, monotonous music coupled with listless skating.

I adore Berton/Hotarek and Universal Sports better televise their performance or I'll be one unhappy camper!

Not too bad, a couple of mistakes

**tulosai** · 03-30-2012, 02:31 PM

That whole skate was so frantic. I was worried for them during parts. Overall not bad. She really fought for the last throw jump. Unfortunate mistake on the 2A. I DO think MB has come a long way in her interpretation of the first part; though maybe they were just really that frantic it was hard to tell.
