Another strong skate, she fist pump! The seem pleased, though hesitant. TES ~4 pts higher than P/T, so they should keep the lead.
Score: 74.36+73.21 = 147.57 (PB), 227.03 (PB), 1st for now
By far the best they've been in a good long while, and magical, yes! He barely squeaked out a couple of the side by side jumps, but otherwise it was secure, romantic, sweeping, and grand!
I think I might be the only person to have predicted Peng/Zhang in 4th (lol). Stupid livestream keeps lagging, so I keep missing parts of the performances :'(
147. What a great score for them. Still a distance from the Russians PB but I feel like they are FINALLY moving in the right direction. And making some good ground at it too.
Nicely done, very happy to see they've moved on from the axel.
Wow, I can't believe it. S/S might just win this. Very unfortunate mistakes. The performance seem to deflate. Aww...poor Tatiana. She clearly feels bad about the mistakes. Nice to see the Japanese fans so supportive.

3Tw - very high!
3S - she falls
3T+2T - she has hand down on 3T, no combo
FiDs
FCCoSp - unison solid
3LoTh - good height
ChSq
3STh - also nice
RLi
PCoSp
BLi
Li - better on the one-foot than usual
Unusual mistakes from her on sbs jumps. TES is ~5 lower than S/S, so they might fall to 2nd
The ending of that was just... flat for me. They don't take off with the music, AT ALL. (Also, those pants are SOOOO distracting... that bulge, JEBUS!)
Well this is going to be close now! I think S/S should definitely take the free, but the PCS and lead in the short might be enough...
I hate to say this, but I'm not entirely sure I care enough. I like both teams equally and will be happy to see either won win. Although I guess it could make for something of a good story if the Germans take it.
