According to my TV schedule it's to begin in 15 minutes - that is, quarter past whatever the time is on your end.

Wow, I never realized they introduce the judges before the competition. The things you learn when you watch the ISU feed...

Kirsten MOORE-TOWERS / Dylan MOSCOVITCH (CAN)

Music: Fellini Medley by Nino Rota

She's in pink sparkly short-sleeved open back, bit "retro", dress. He's in black pants and vest over shirt (both new)


3Tw - bit low catch
3T - she stepout/hand down, both don't do SEQ
3S - he doubles
ChSq
BoDs
PCoSp
3LoTh - very nice length and flow
ALi
Li - good ice coverage
FCCoSp - fast, unison slight off in middle
3STh - bit tilted, but clean landing
Li - lunge entry

Unusual mistakes on sbs jumps. Other elements were strong. They seem a bit disappointed

Score: 57.80+62.44 = 120.34, 189.11, 1st for now

Cheng PENG / Hao ZHANG (CHN)

Music: Yellow River Concerto

4Tw - great height
3T+2T - solid unison
2A - she falls, maybe UR
FCCoSp - unison bit on/off
PCoSp
3LoTh - good height/length
ChSq
3STh - nice height too
Li
FiDs
Li
Li

One mistake, but otherwise solid. He looks pleased. TES is over 10 points higher than M-T/M, so they'll stay in 1st for now

Score: 67.62+61.88-1.00 = 128.50 (PB), 197.37 (PB), 1st out of 2

67+ is more than 5 points than their personal best in TES. i think we'll see a new PB from them!

Those two have a real father daughter thing going on. Nice quad twist.

Samson, I was thinking exactly the same thing!!! And although it kind of weirds me out, this time, they made it work. I thought this was a big improvement for them- much better connection between them, more elegance, confidence, and emotion.

^ So improved for them. Nice to see that. Also great to see Hongbo in the kiss and cry! He looks very dapper.

Meagan DUHAMEL / Eric RADFORD (CAN)

Music: Alice in Wonderland (soundtrack) by Danny Elfman; Everlasting by Two Steps from Hell

3Tw
3Lz - unison way off, she fell, looked <
RLi - bit labored take-off
BoDs
PCoSp
3S+2T - she has 3S-stepout+1T, no 3-jump combo from both
Li
3LoTh
3LzTh - solid
Li
ChSq
FCCoSp - unison off at the end

She fell out his catch on the ending pose!

Mistakes from her on sbs jumps. TES is about 6-7 pts both lower than P/Z, so they may have done enough to stay ahead due to SP lead

Score: 60.78+61.53-2.00 = 120.31, 193.38, 2nd out of 3
