I'm a big fan of the difference between fashion and style. Fashion goes out of style; but style is always in fashion. Eventually we'll see classic elegance again. It's too good to go out of style.

Look at everyone's scores. The judges were all over the place with their GOE.
So many + and - GOE on the same elements! And the range is quite huge in some pairs' elements, as well. The judging in this competition (the FS at least) seemed sort of weird overall.

I'm surprised that people are calling Pang/Tong classically elegant when, frankly, their lines are just really sloppy. There's really nothing classical about their skating. Unless you consider 6.0 style skating classical, then I can understand.
I'm really annoyed by the judging today. P/T's PCS was really undeserved, IMO. Big caveat - I was never a fan to begin with and am annoyed that they are here instead of Yu/Jin. Their program was very empty and Pang's lines are just as terrible as they've always been. Their basics have never been the best. Compare her lift positions throughout the years to someone like Liubov or Sui - they are just not good. Plus, they has no jumps. It sucks about Sui/Han's spin, because their performance was the most enjoyable out of the top four here.
I like Liubov and Dylan the best of all teams, despite the shaky elements. SHe's got amazing lines and musicality, and skates with her heart on her sleeve. It's lovely to watch.

You remind me of Ziggy and his dislike for P/T
Miss him a lot! Certainly still valid points, though.

I miss Ziggy too :/ One of the classiest posters this board will ever see.
Ziggy and I talked about that more than once on Facebook. I still can't believe he's gone. :no:You remind me of Ziggy and his dislike for P/T
Compared to what D/R were receiving, P/T deserve every point of their PCS and then some. I actually don't agree with them medalling overall, but that was a breathtaking performance (to be fair--I missed the beginning and the jumps. Were they terribly disruptive? :scratch.

I know they have an intriguing entry into the first part of the spin, but what got it invalidated? I've rarely seen an invalidated Pair spin.

I've seen a pair spin invalidated because the lady was accidentally picked up in part of it, but I rewatched S/H and it didn't happen.

Nope, they weren't disruptive, and Pang recovered nicely on her second 2A in the sequence after singling the first one. They didn't disrupt the performance, but you can't just go out and do doubles and expect a near personal best PCS (regardless of their artistic superiority over D/R).

Oh... I thought she was doing a special variation or something
No, somewhere in the tech handbook if the woman isn't close enough to the ice, the death spiral cannot be higher than a level 1, even if the rest of it is perfect/difficult.

Pang and Tong were lovely and won the pcs in the LP! What a nice skate even with a few problems. D and R I think need to work on selling their programs more - a bit more smoothness would help regardless of the lack of lyricism.

I don't understand why S/H are penalized either, just don't get it.
P/T weren't the best but it's great to see how they love figure skating, they just can't bear to give it up and pour their hearts into every performance.
