It's extremely, extremely frustrating how Volosozhar/Trankov can skate an empty program where they mostly stroke from one element to another and not really pay much attention to the music and get 9s whilst Savchenko/Szolkowy show an extremely complex routine where pretty much everything is connected with transitions to get almost 2 points less on the PCS. Seriously, this is just ridiculous. Why even bother?
PAH. And Canadians will be better technically but V/T will get better marks anyway.Getting them ready for their coronation in Sochi..

Agreed. I found the program lackluster, particularly near the end of the program where it seems like Trankov just ran out of steam and didn't care anymore. I just found the program uninteresting compared to S/S.
My congrats, too. Italy about to become a major figure skating power?I agree! I really liked S/S... But this is the first medal ever for Italy in Pairs!! :yay::yes:

everybody sticks to their opinion I guess)
I found S/S fp weird
it's really worse than the last year's fp
Extremely boring, empty program of V/T, poor choreography, much overscored! Even with the fall S/S are much better as choreography of the program, as well as skating! Actually, the most attractive program as choreography at the Euros is the B/H's program.
It's your opinion and it seems in the minority. V/T started their program OK but then it got booooring. S/S program was great and costumes reflected the music - Spanish Bolero.
I disagree re: European ice dance, otherwise agree.Sadly, you are correct. B/H had the better program vs. either the Gold or Silver medalists. It feels as though ranking in pairs nowadays are more deeply entrenched than ice dance.
V/T is overrated for the reason that they can always manage to land their sbs triples. In pairs these days so few can do that...but their LP is awfully boring, and let's face it, they are going to be olympic champions with no memorable program.
