I agree. And I just want to say that I so miss Evora/Ladwig! I cannot help but think of them and I hope that the pairs that placed 1-2-3 at US nationals makes marked progress this olympic season.

Agree, I could understand/forgive the mistakes, but they seem to barely tolerate each other. Hope this is a mistaken impression and they're just having a bad day at the office.

Nice lifts from L/S. I get where her frozen smile is coming from for the character, but I don't agree with the choice. Sends her straight into the uncanny valley for me.

If D/F don't break up they're the American team to watch for the next quad. Far exceeded my expectations at this competition.

I like them a whole lot - and I really do not think they understand the Notre Dame de Paris at all. The costumes, cut of the music and interpretation have nothing to do with the actual musical. It is strange but they are going to be my D/W in pairs, I can sense it!!!

It is too bad that they were off, right - or was it my stream? I think they were not in sync with the music.

D/F had some awkward moments where one of them seemed to be waiting for the other, and then they had some moments that were just lovely. I thought their opening 3Tw looked great.

P/M have no future in the sport. He has to find a shorter partner and she has to find a taller one.

Sport 2 commentator said she is 168cm now. There aren't any partners tall enough for her. I'm sorry to say that but she just doesn't have a future in pairs skating.

D/F's 3twist had a strong catch and was solid otherwise but it was two-footed on the landing.

Yeah I also didn't see much of a story in their interpretation of Notre Dame but like you, I like them anyway. They are definitely not soup yet but I do see potential. Her lines and expression are much better than her sister's.

No, then, probably she has to be done. He looks like his a hunchback when he lifts her.

Really too bad for V/VC. They never seem able to quite pull it together in competition.
