2013 US Nationals Sr Pairs LP

[cleopatra20042004]

the ice network backstage feed has someone calling the elements with the levels as well. there's no video feed for the program though.

Hysterical to hear Sandra Bezic comment that an element is huge when it barely leaves the ice.

I'm still not sold on Sister Denney.

OMG. When she said that and it turns out to be one of the lowest elements in the air I've seen I laughed. I was like who in the world is the commentator.

She was saying how the new pairs who probably won't stay together are exciting. Sorry I don't see it.

[museksk8r]

Sylvia Fontana and John Zimmerman are still as beautiful as ever!

[museksk8r]

Oh, Marissa, please hold it together . . . already stumbled out of the 3toe.

[Tonichelle]

Tentative/nervefilled skate so far for the leaders.

[museksk8r]

They are giving up the title. Simon completely aborted a spin. OMG!!

[bigsisjiejie]

OH NO. Schnapir completely missed his entrance to the SBS spins and is just standing there waiting for her to finish that element. Nightmare. This title just slipped away.

[Tonichelle]

If the partnership is as "volatile" as Sandra says - if this skate kills their chance at gold, do you see them sticking it out another season or two?

[museksk8r]

If anything saves them at this point, it is the PCS score. They are the only team in this group so far that has the look and skating ability of a senior team. Every other team looks really juniorish. The TES is going to kill them though.

[bigsisjiejie]

Surprised at that score for C/S.

[museksk8r]

They are still the leaders! Only at US Nationals with such a weak, shallow field could that EVER happen. WOW!

I agree. I know... it's not a good word but generic is the word that keeps coming to mind when I think of the others
