[labgoat]

I like R & R for the win

 

[CrazyKittenLady]

I'm happy that I was wrong!

 

[maofan]

Very close, indeed!

 

[tsuyoboogie]

 

[bartlebooth]

Happy tears!

 

[Dawn825]

They won on PCS, tech was slightly behind K/F

 

[Lamente Ariane]

They're crying, I'm crying, good end to a tough event!

 

[GGFan]

I cannot wait for the Worlds rematch between these teams. M/K are so genuine and joyful.

 

[Ziotic]

Happy for the Japanese and Italians. Sad for the Canadians.

 

[TontoK]

Everyone seems a little nervous today but it's a big comp so I get it. I think this is going to be a very close decision. And I don't know how I'd judge it - I'm fine with either team winning.

Yep. Whatever team wins, the other will know they had their chance.

Update: One of them won, the other didn't.

[elektra blue]

[EdgeCall]

Yes, and it's Gold!

What is up with the camera shots - these up close blurry shots during lifts is annoying!

Those are annoying but better than the closeups of the ladies ‘lower torso’ during a lift. So DISRESPECTFUL to the athletes. Keep the skaters in the centre of the screen- always- period. A competition is not the time for ‘art’.

 

[moonvine]

Well that was depressing. Still no VPN. Going to go to sleep until it’s time to watch my babies get lowballed. Like they do every time they skate.

 

[Dreamer57]

Aww they said Grazie at the end!!

I'm going to watch a penalty shootout then ice dance!
Can't believe we have 2 sets of medallists already and then senior women haven't started yet!

Seemed like an accurate translation of their words, although Riku did mention that it was because of the crowd's warm support that they were able to do well. There's a sense of gratitude there.

first gp pair medal for Japan?

I believe so. I went to look up Marvin Trans results and they were 6th at the GPF. Well done to this team.

Alexa & Brandon were robbed! R&R did not skate with the joy and abandon of the short program. Slight loss of balance on the twist landing, doubled the triple toe, his hand down on the next jump, two hands down on one throw, and very low landing on the other. Sorry, just not buying this result.
