2015 Canadian Nationals Senior Pairs Free Skate, Jan. 24

The PCS was deserved, Lubov has great lines and Dylan looks way better on lifts and jumps.

I do not doubt it.

Now we are waiting for 160

Haha I expect a landslide as well. I expect them to win, let's just see how points-happy the judges get.

 

[Bumdid]

I'm curious to see if their quad throw is a stable element now...

 

[Skater Boy]

Yeah, Nam was there, so maybe the rule is invalid or I didn't memorize it correctly.

I think you can skate at junior worlds and senior world's as long as you have not skated in any Grand Prix senior events.

 

[Mista Ekko]

Anyone's seeing this live?

UPDATE!

 

[kresslia]

Yup another good job from D/R. Meagan had a bit of trouble with one of the SBS jumps but otherwise really good job. Another big score incoming.

 

[lyndichee]

How was the quad sal landing?

 

[Skater Boy]

Now how would you rank Canada's no. 2 and 3 or no. 4 for that matter against the Americans - can they compete with the quad twist???

 

[Mista Ekko]

How was the quad sal?

 

[Mista Ekko]

150.69

 

[LisaS]

The Quad Sal was very good.

 

[kresslia]

Reasonable score actually, 150ish.

I think if Luba/Dylan skate clean they can beat a clean S/K. S/K are rarely clean themselves though. Their PCS should be higher and other than the quad twist S/K have average tech content. Not sure at all about S/B and how they'd be ranked as seniors. MTM2 I think could not beat a clean S/K or probably a clean D/F either.

 

[LisaS]

They received 1.14 positive GOE on the QUAD Salchow

 

[Mista Ekko]

so 230 overall

 

[LittleLotte29]

150.69

Can I call it a reasonable national inflation? I mean, it's more reasonable than 136 of Scimeca/Knierim in USA. Their PB is 146, so it's only 4 points. OK for me.

 

[Violet Bliss]

Canada doesn't usually join US/Russia races, so they are staying out of the inflation race as well.

 

[Bumdid]

Idk about the free skate, but I think Luba/Dylan can beat S/K on the sp at the very least. They actually have pretty similar elements and their skating skills, interpretation, lines and choreography are way above S/K. At the same time, Luba/Dyland is a new pair and skating in an earlier group might hurt their PCS a little bit.
