2013 Europeans Pairs LP

[Icey]

I agree Ziggy

[tulosai]

I agree too.

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?

I agree! I really liked S/S... But this is the first medal ever for Italy in Pairs!!

However, there is no denying the judges have somehow fallen in love with V/T.

Getting them ready for their coronation in Sochi..

Ziggy - agree.
Congratulation Italy. :-)

[koatcue]

I'm happy that V/T won...Maksim's father would be proud of him(
Either way, the germans just skated from element to element. and you call it a cool program?????????????????????
V/T fp was with mistakes, but they lived that program

are u serious?

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.

PAH. And Canadians will be better technically but V/T will get better marks anyway.

[snejina]

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.

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.

YUP. he is and I am too.

Yes, exactly. I even preferred James/Cipres' program over V/T. I actually really liked V/T when they first emerged, but over the last couple of years their programs have been boring and they've been overscored this year for subpar performances.

My congrats, too. Italy about to become a major figure skating power?

everybody sticks to their opinion I guess)
I found S/S fp weird
it's really worse than the last year's fp
