Blowing virtual kisses to all who posted working streams! I'll take commercials as long as I get to watch all the pairs, because NBC will surely only show the final group.

Takeoff direction and edges, landing direction and edges.
Thanks. I'm still trying to wrap my head around this.

Why should takeoff matter, since the woman is being hoisted in the air by her partner? Unless the takeoff orientation and edge changes the difficulty of the throw, but again, I'm finding it hard to understand how that is so, if height, distance and air position are pretty much determined by the throw. :think:

I'm such as pairs ignoramus. :laugh:

No joke! Why the heck did they show the fifth place team but not the third place team?!

I know, right?! It was horrible coverage! After show 10 skates in one night from the team competition, I was expecting to see a lot more pairs last night.

DM/G were a bit rough. Still, he has definitely improved over the past couple of years. I would love to see more leg extension from him, though. And he scares me in the lifts a bit....

NOS.nl as always provides (geo-blocked) streams, HD quality, with the option to stream to television screens etc., but no commentary. They're probably too busy talking about all the medals Holland is winning in the speed skating. Meh. I don't mind speed skating, but would gladly trade all those medals for one figure skating medal. Heck, one figure skater even participating at the Olys would do! ;-/
By lack of any Dutchies to root for, I'm rooting for S/S today.

Oh. I was speaking in general terms, not pairs specific.

So far I'd give Israel the "overall pairs costumes" award. I just like both sets of their costumes a lot.
