Omg that quad twist (that looked almost a quint on the replay). It was a delightful program from the Chinese, Lori did it again. But for whatever reason I can't shake that image of a pedophile uncle dancing with his young niece. I'm so sorry Zhang Hao. ><

Well, I'm not going to argue on something about which I know very little. I'll just watch and listen to you experts talk.

If it helps, you can think of it less like a "throw", but more as an assisted jump. So the girl is doing a normal jump entry, such as a salchow or a flip, and the guy is supposed to assist her, rather than just chucking her up there. So the difficulty and technique depends on the entry.

I see that Aliona and Robin are not planning a throw 3A...but someone could explain me what if they'll go for it in program? Are some penalty/consequences for changing planned elements/jumps?

No; unless you repeat a jump more than twice, repeat more than two jumps, or don't do combinations on the repeated jumps (then you get a sequence penalty). Can't think of much else -- in singles, if you don't have an axel (happened to Murakami once).

No consequences. They technical panel will simply call it and the judges will score accordingly.

Okay I want them to medal.

emma · Feb 12, 2014

now way this doesn't medal...that was a great score!

Meli_Huber · Feb 12, 2014

That must medal ... don´t believe the Chinese can beat that.

Chemistry66 · Feb 12, 2014

143.47 for a total of 218.68. New PB total score by 11 points, DAMN.

CanadianSkaterGuy · Feb 12, 2014

Wow, amazing skate by S/K! Should take the lead by tons!

FlattFan · Feb 12, 2014

That was impressive!!!!!

I think they might get the silver, too.

Meli_Huber · Feb 12, 2014

I think, that was already enough for Gold ...

Considering they were already 9 points back on V/T and V/T have a personal best higher much than S/K, it's not likely.

Did Trankov steal Hotarek's SP pants and roll around in the dirt?
