SBS falls for T/T. Better than separate falls though.

Kind of unraveling.

Rough skate today for Takahashi/Tran, with their usual gorgeousness elsewhere in the program.

[FlattFan]

Poor girl didn't even land a single triple cleanly in both phases of the competition.

[DobrinFan]

Well this was a hot mess. Only D/C clean, I would have had them higher...ugly lifts and all

Me too, although they were only a point away from winning the free skate. Caydee needs to stretch all day, every day, and they should try out new positions. And they need to work on their death spiral so that they aren't throwing away points by only going for a Level 1. Their twist and throws were really lovely though today, I have to say.

[DobrinFan]

Yes, and better costumes and programs. He looks like a truck driver of the worse sort. He should do ballet or something.

[StellaCampo]

B/L and T/T back to their normal selves.

[FlattFan]

B/L and T/T back to their normal selves.

Yup. Oh well. Can't wait for next season.

D/C already got the highest TES here but were hurt by their awful program. They desperately need better programs and better music choices. However, I heard they’ll skate to POTO next season—another old warhorse just won’t really help them….
