Why not!
S/K get HIGHER PCS than B/L!!
They also edged out B/L at Nats. Not by much but clearly enough to alarm that judges are leaning towards them now. I just hope V/T don't get out of the scene after their OGM. At least stay for a season or two. From the way it looks Russian pairs really need them.S/K get HIGHER PCS than B/L!!

stolbova/klimov and bazarova/larinov interpretation higher berton /hotarek is ridiculous!: Think:
I'd have prefered if S/K had finished ahead of B/L because of their commitment to interpreting the musical theme. I'd have given them a bigger PCS lead than 0.31 points.
But 0.80 points behind is OK, they can overtake them with a good FS...
There wer a lot of good performances in those last 2 groups, after all the mistakes we saw earlier!
Stupid question maybe, but why is it important to be the number two or three Russian pair, when they are so close. Russia has three spots for Sochi, right? And Kavaguti/Smirnov are out?

Because skaters should receive GOE for each element, based on the quality of execution of that specific element and each PC score should be based on how well the criteria for that specific PC were fulfilled instead of getting high (or low) marks for everything just because they have made a good (or bad) general impression.
That is BY FAR the best SBS jumps I've ever seen them do. I am literally shocked.
Pairs stacking, you'll get bigger support too from international judges
notice how S/K have higher PCS now than B/L after they won Nationals
