Maybe it's warm-up?

MT/M looked better than last year already. They seem to have a better connection, maybe better speed? No visible errors other than she put a hand down on the SBS jump. Lift looked more stable as well.

57.22 and into the lead...

Decent skate from M-T/M, the coaching change this summer was a good move, as to me they have improved quite a bit
score: 57.22

How were Kirsten & Michael? They seem to have scored pretty well.

Stephens/Dodds had a rough skate. Aborted death spiral, she fell on both the throw and SBS jump. They looked stiff and tentative throughout.

 

[tulosai]

I really liked Kayne/O'Shea actually, the program has a LOT of really nice choreographic flourishes and I think will be great once it's a bit more put together. I did not think the spin was appropriately placed choreographically/with the music... the music is basically building hardcore there and the spin is going nowhere. The death spiral does also need some improvement.

Many thanks!!!!!

The thanks should go to this Youtuber

C/T had a good international debut, even with him going down on the SBS. Of course, it helps that they've had this program for a year already, but it looked good. Great throw and the twist is noticeably higher than last year.

Marissa and Mervin had an OK skate, he fell on the SBS jump.

what did they score, that was as clear as mud

Mt/M a lot better than last season. Twist and lift still need LOTS of improvement- lift is better in that I no longer fear for her safety but his butt still sticks out so far you could balance something on it. I do think their connection and presence has improved A LOT though.

Had to visit the site that's advertised at this rink, USFigureSkatingVideos.com

Digital downloads of the US Classic can be yours for only $170 USD.

D/B do a really good job selling that sassy program. There were a couple small issues, hand down on the throw and the sync was off on the SBS, I couldn't tell if maybe she doubled it? But very energetic and spunky! I think the two are a good match.

 

[semosk8tfan]

Gretchan and Nate have a really cute program. Some bobbles by her though: turn out on the SBS jump and she put her hand down on the throw. The twist looks better than last year. I really like this team and hope they have a good year.
