2018 Europeans Pairs SP

[whatif]

s/k twist should never get 0 or + GOE. NEVER. that green bar lighting up in the upper left corner when they... uh... executed the element made me laugh out loud. even though it's really not funny.... oh dear

I believe it's only the level that goes down, which is what happened here.

 

[Anni234]

Maybe Z/E should do the Team event for Russia :think:

omg it just dawned on me, we might have to look at candyman twice

wow, could the commentators be anymore biased.

It makes me wonder if they would make these comments about lack of finesse if Vanessa was white and typical "ice princess" :/

They seemed rough around the edges if you compare this to some of their performances last year.

Vanessa is anything but an ice princess.

 

[Mista Ekko]

If J\C manage to win here and use the after press wisely

In three weeks time that 75.5 could be a 77.5

 

[whatif]

Nothing to do with "ice princess". J/C do suffer in comparison to top 3 here and it has more to do with ice coverage and speed and basic skating skills which should not detract from their strengths. Not everything is racism.

 

[Baron Vladimir]

What is the Eurosport commentator is trying to say? That J/C lacks finesse compared to T/M? In what world?

I agree. I think they lacked it today and they were a little bit over scored in PCS this time. It was not their best and they got point more in PCS comparing to previous competitions... But they definitely deserve to be in first after SP. So congrats eace:

??? The heck does it have to do with her not being white? They pointed out specifically what they meant by finesse- positions, extension, etc- then followed up by saying that they weren't trying to be that kind of team, that they have their own style, etc. please keep it about the skating.

So Z/E come out of SP as the nr 1 russians. One more surprise for today.

Twice the third ranked Russians came out on top today. Makes me nervous for tomorrow.

 

[whatif]

Sotskova's and S/B's odds have jumped.

 

[Anyasnake]

Sotskova's and S/B's odds have jumped.

Well if we have a path... Sotskova 2nd and Step/Bukin 2nd ?

 

[frida80]

If J\C manage to win here and use the after press wisely

Not if the French team makes the final. They’ll have to skate both and the pairs event is just after team event! If the French federation is smart, they rest P/C so J/C can have a great SP and time to rest for the individual event.

I know!...LOVE Tarasova and Morozov but Candy Man is cheesy and does not bring forth their strengths!

 

[frida80]

Sotskova's and S/B's odds have jumped.

I can see her leap frogging Alina, because her SP has been unclear all season. But Zhenia is a stretch.

I think I just threw up a little.

Do you think there will be start order for Free today? I need to know if I'll make it home for at least half of competition tomorrow....

I believe it should be soon, 15 min after the event, but I'm not sure how soon it'll be up on the site.

There is only one French pair in Korea. So they'll have to skate the LP if the French team qualifies... which I doubt. Possible but might be short on that.

shush, we need an Evgenia-Alina 1-2
and a Maria 3rd

 

[Mista Ekko]

Why? i think i missed something... ?
