i have no idea how she landed that 3S...she didn't get much height nor was she anywhere near vertical...but i guess that's why she's the best female pairs skater int eh world...

Jesus, the PCS V/T are getting. That's D/W, V/M level.
Ok, mail them the Olympic gold now.

Was V that good? Suddenly her SS is 9+?
Was T that good? Suddnely his SS is 9+?

This non-sport is infuriating. What a joke! This is pure evil. What's the point of competition when one's cheated all the way to the top

V/T and B/L were the only elegant beauties on the ice. Sad that BazLar made a mistakes, she is probably still recovering.

All the rest were just either a set of elements more, or less or the clownish showcases.

I think that, actually what happened is they actually tried and succeeded in takeing off at the same time on the SBS jumps like we've all longed for all these years. Too bad it did not work out this time.

So other than the huge mistake on the SBS does anyone else think this is the best they've seen B/L skate too? I felt like they were actually connecting with the music for once.

Yes. Good elements, very strong choreography. They improved a lot.

Scoring aside: Duhamel/Radford were strong technically, but I found the choreography and overall "presentation" very poor.

D/R had one of the most complex and unusual element layouts seen in the history of skating. The program had a lot of transitions and whilst their postures and lines could be stronger (especially hers), they showed a lot of power, attack and expression throughout.

Maybe. She is also the ugliest-looking pair skater now and such not esthetic hopping doesn't add any beauty.

You are being a really nasty bully now. Please stop.

that was a joke right ?

No.

Yep, it's a done deal now. Whatever V/T show, they will be showered with 9s.

I bet that :slink: 3salchow got +2s as well. :p

S/S in third, the PCS gap between them and the Russians is getting bigger :slink:
I don't see Megan/Eric in second place, their LP is not as strong as their SP but we are in Canada, so who knows. Technically their program was amazing, I have no problems there. I just don't think they look good on the ice as a pair.

SO, if standings should stay the same after LP, the olympics spots will be:

RUS = 3
CAN = 3
GER = 2
CHN = 2
FRA = 2
ITA = 2
USA = 2

16 spots. Kemp/King would have to go To Nebelhorn next year.

whether they actually deserve PCS that high is one thing...but compared to all the other pairs, they are pretty much the only team that keeps my attention for the duration all their programs. they skate with so much more intensity, confidence expression that any other team...they just attack the elements and there's no hesitation and they don't try to do anything too abstract (cough S/S cough) and just skate their programs and they look comfortable on the ice...they really are distancing themselves for the rest of the world

if i were a judge, very few teams would crack the 7s on PCS, and then V/T would probably be in the 8s...

Right. Particularly M-T/M, right? So clownish, according to you?

I can understand why D/W and V/M are getting 9+ for PCS. Their programs are always impressive, new, exciting. They skate with abandonment.
I don't understand V/T 9+. Their programs are so crappy. Nothing new, nothing nice, mostly nasty stuff smashed together. Tackiness doesn't deserve 9+. Good grief!
