Denney / Frazier have to move up to Seniors, as Brandon is 20 now.
but inst the men age limit 21 ?
It is so depends when his birthday falls.
They are reducing the Men's age limit from next season though, aren't they? Or does that come into effect in the post-Olympic season?
A surprising result. I taught the Chinese were going to win this at a canter but it didn't work out that way. They had a rough time on the SBS jumps and got some lower levels, they were rightly marked down on PCS. Would never have said a US/Canada/Russia podium. F/M definitely threw away the gold with their subpar performance in the short, I feel they were a little marked down in the PCS they could maybe have sneaked the gold with their free programme.
It was a great performance by D/F to win the gold, two good strong performances but I feel they tend to rush everything. I like the Canadian couple, I'm not sure what is their long tem future as they are very close in height but they have a very mature style, they are nice to watch however I didn't think there lifts were the strongest. It was a better than expected performance from T/M, they had the highest base value (50.67) but after the GOE they dropped to 5th. Hopefully they will built on this for the future.
I think all those new rules will only be implemented post Olympics
bu I guess D/F could go Seniors next season to fill the gap in US Pairs Seniors skaters maybe try a shot for a team in the Olympics
I'm sure it would be a blast for both Haven & Caydee to be in the Olympics at the same time!
But if US just get two spots in the Worlds, they may not have a chance
Castelli and Shnapir are US champs, they are a good team but Denney and Frazier are nearly as good based on what we saw here, by next season they might be able to place ahead of C/S at Nationals and S/K, Z/B too. Plus with US pairs these days who knows who will still be together come Nationals next year
One never knows. Really, one would have expected a Russian, Chinese or Canadian team to win here. Pairs is the most unpredictable of disciplines.
I'm hoping C&S will land their quad salchow throw at Worlds & that they will have a super Worlds debut (helped by some slips among the usual teams ahead of them), and they'll finish sixth & seventh & earn 3 spots.
But I don't expect it.
OTOH, I really like C&S, particularly their choreo for their SP from Julie Marcotte, who also did a great job with Haven & Brandon's choreo. I'd love to see them at the Olympics, too.
And it's nice to have a team from FL (Denney & Frazier) and one from Boston (Castelli & Shnapir) for a change on the international scene rather than Colorado Springs, because all the Sappenfield choreo looks the same to me.
Surprising results! I must admit I kind of hoped F/M would have won but this is from a fan point of view. There is something very lovable about Lina. I didn't expect them to fight back as well as they did but they proved me wrong. I think it'a good result for them considering the pressure, the expectations and their age. All the couples who were considered favorites for the podium faltered a bit, the winners looked to have fun out there without any kind of expectation(maybe they had but they certainly didn't show any sign of pressure). I hope they keep the same spirit as they'll progress as a couple, pairs figure skating needs some level of excitement and there is plenty in this team.
The results were fair and the Americans were overall the best. I liked their SP the most. The Canadians are the most elegant junior pair out there on the ice. Felt that the Chinese pair and the German one (particularly them) were a bit underscored. I try to like Tarasova/Morozov but as amazing as their names are, the skating is very dull. Hope D/D and the other couple who got third in JGPF come back strong next year.
I agreee that Annabelle Prölß & Ruben Blommaert of Germany were underscored. Since both are very competent singles skaters, I'm hoping they will continue to do well.
I hope she doesn't grow any more.
Anabelle is only 13 right ? she still might grow like Vasilisa
She might. Or not.
I was as tall as I ever got as 12. Zhang Dan grew in her 20's.
All you can do is cross your fingers & wait.
