Perini is injured (as per the USFS) and Takai/Johnson got the required scores at Challenge Cup over the weekend.

Evgenia TARASOVA / Vladimir MOROZOV (RUS)

Music: El Tango de Roxanne (from "Moulin Rouge" soundtrack)

Both in black sheer costumes with pink/orange-ish details.

2Tw - good height
2A - solid, hers bit tilted
3TTh
Li
BiDs
PCoSp
StSq

Solid skate, they hug. I do feel the tango overwelms them

SP: 33.10+26.26 = 59.46 (PB), in 1st (out of 10)

sequinsgalore · Mar 12, 2014

Xiaoyu YU / Yang JIN (CHN)

Music: Meditation (from Thais) by Jules Massenet

Both in blue ombre costumes, his with striped fabric details

2A - bit long entry, but nice and clean
2Tw - good height
3TTh
Li - nice, difficult entry
BiDs
StSq
PCoSp

Strong skate, he fist pump. Still could use more extrovert expression

SP: 35.51+27.07 = 62.58 (PB), in 1st (out of 11)

sequinsgalore · Mar 12, 2014

Maria VIGALOVA / Egor ZAKROEV (RUS)

Music: Capone by Ronan Hardiman

Both in purple and pink costumes (old)

2Tw - great height
2A - solid, hers bit wild in air
3TTh - maybe iffy take-off, but solid landing
Li
StSq
BiDs
PCoSp

Solid skate, they're good performers. They did seem rushed and behind music at the end.

SP: 31.24+24.08 = 55.32, in 3rd (out of 12)

sequinsgalore · Mar 12, 2014

Vasilisa DAVANKOVA / Andrei DEPUTAT (RUS)

She's in blue drop-waist dress. He's in white shirt, black vest.

2A
3TTh - good height
2Tw
Li
BiDs
PCoSp
StSq

Solid skate, she fist pumps. They still have a bit gangly appearance on ice, that needs to be adressed.

SP: 33.18+25.17 = 58.35, in 3rd (out of 13)

sequinsgalore · Mar 12, 2014

Madeline AARON / Max SETTLAGE (USA)

She's in lavender dress. He's in purple "japanese" suit

2Tw
2A
2TTh - planned
Li
BiDs
StSq
PCoSp

Solid skate, but their elements aren't as big or difficult as the others which will hurt them.

SP: 28.12+23.83 = 51.95 (PB), in 5th (out of 14)

sequinsgalore · Mar 12, 2014

Kaitlin BUDD / Nikita CHEBAN (USA)

2Tw
2A - she stepout, falls, looked < in replay
3TTh
Li
PCoSp
StSq - small stumble from him at start, she falls midway
BiDs

They look disappointed, understandably. All their elements are quite small and messy, and she fell twice...

Aaron/Settlage did not have the technical goods to compete with the top teams but I would have given them the highest PCS. They skated with good flow, on quite deep edges and their upper body movement was elegant, refined and very waltz-like, reflecting the character of the music very well. Julie Marcotte once again proved that she's the best pairs choreographer out there.

They are a stunning team but I am worried about them transitioning to the Seniors next season given they don't even have a clean 2twist. :/

Davankova / Deputat: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbM5PqIW-ZM

huge throws but its really frustrating and heartbreaking she grew so tall :bang:

her talent will be wasted once they split up soon, who could partner with her ? she is a Volosozhar in rough diamonds
just needs a taller partner

They need some character in their skating. They are technically strong but boring. And I do not want to see them compete on the junior level anymore:no:

Davankova/Deputat were impressive technically but just stroked from one element to the next. They really need to get packaged better.

Her in particular. It's Zhang Kexin's level of non-performance. They are really well synchronised though, basics are pretty decent by now and choreography also. So presentation-wise they are slowly getting there and technically they are already really impressive. I think that in 4 years, they might be challenging for an Olympic podium.
