No, today it's pairs.Keeping my fingers crossed for the Kerrs!
And with that, I am now off to class. The men are later today right? I'm going to go crazy wondering about it.
Caro must have had a really bad practice?
No, today it's pairs.
Men are on tomorrow.
But isn't the CD normally the Kerrs' least strong segement? They might be able to keep the placement - and Pechelat&Bourzat often lose lots of points with their freedance.They'll have to fend off not only Pechelat & Bourzat, but Domnina and Shabalin, only a point and a half behind them. The top two seem clear enough.
Yeah, what do you know ??!!!The Kerrs can't do CDs to save their lives and yet are awarded third place.
DomShab skated like shadow and are in fifth.
I love ice dance:chorus:

I don't understand how you can end up with such an opinion with the other Italian team's placement.
Pechalat/Bourzat beat Faeilla/Scalli on both the OD and the FD at NHK, so there's hope yet for the 3rd and 4th place teams.But isn't the CD normally the Kerrs' least strong segement? They might be able to keep the placement - and Pechelat&Bourzat often lose lots of points with their freedance.
I'm not sure that you can say that Kerrs can't do CDs to save their lives . The CD is usually their weakest segment of the competition but that isn't to say that they can't do them at all. They have consistently improved their CDs both under their previous coaches and now under Platov.
Did you miss the part in DomShabs skate where he fell? The -1 for the fall coupled with the effect the fall must have had on the PCS means if he hadn't fallen they would likely have been ahead of the Kerrs.
Ant
I am saying they can't do CD and never will be.
I'm not sure that i understand your first sentence, but they certainly have put in an awful lot of work into their CDs to improve and they have consistently improved them. I agree that John is the weaker of the two, however, there is no hiding in the ODs or FDs in the twizzle sequences where John frequently does make mistakes.They don't get the "it" to learn it nor have the power to do it, because John is very weak compared to Sinead. A fact they hide very well in ODs and FDs.
The judges held the PCS for ALL teams because of DomShab fall. That is so wrong when they just don't skate. Come on, they were not on the ice this afternoon. 7's for SS all right, but the rest was barely worth 6s.
The only team saluted by Rakkhamo/Kokko were BTW sixth place team of Pernelle CARRON / Matthieu JOST.
he almost fell towards the end, didn't he?, :scratch:

The judges have a strange habit of disregarding mistakes from F/S - wobbles, falls and near-falls. I thought they were very lucky to come away with the NHK win and if they made mistakes today, I really don't see why they are second. Of course, that Dom/Shab can be in 5th with a fall - and that close to the top teams - is far more questionnaible.
