hahaha British Eurosport guys: "I really don't like this shot of the couple who've been surpassed. How are they expected to look?"

Future world champions S/B

With that consistency, yeah. Their programs bore me though, but I like them.

 

[nolangoh]

Meagan saying something to Eric...? wonder what that is

 

[Giselle]

D/R lots of talking before their program

 

[ruffledgrouse]

praise
praise
heaps of praise!

Thank you! I don't speak Russian, so you are my lifeline to the fount of amazingness that is TAT's commentary

 

[cheerknithanson]

And if my calculations are right, then at least one Canadian team is going to medal.

 

[MIM]

S/b is a young team... Thank you for bringing the joy back to the ice... I needed it so much...

 

[invisiblespiral]

Okay.... yay S/B for going over 200!

 

[Alchamei]

First succesful quad of the night!

 

[ruffledgrouse]

OMG I almost cracked laughing (I can't cuz its like 4 am here at my place) when they show the perfectly anti-sync spin LOL

I was wondering if it was deliberately mirrored or an actual mistake, it was so perfect

 

[nolangoh]

that lutz was off axis thank god she just stepped out

 

[Sugarpova]

this will come 1st no matter how ours will do

 

[Giselle]

D/R putting the throw 3L later in the program, seems that they've given up the 4L for now

 

[Sackie]

S/B really seem to be moving in the right direction! That is a great score to have considering they had a fall! Canadian Nationals are going to be a fight in the Pairs.

 

[sunnystars]

I love that mini-spiral moment

 

[Tastetherainbow]

TBH, this is such a meteoric rise to the top... while I did think S/B skated well, part of me wants to say that it's a little bit unfair to skaters such as S/H who crawled their way to the top. Maybe a tad too high, but nevertheless a fine skate.

 

[lyndichee]

That tech score is still climbing, gonna be really high...

 

[Jammers]

D/R look so deliberate out there. They telegraph their throws from a mile away.

 

[nolangoh]

finally one clean skate for the day

One stepout, otherwise strong skate. They seem happy. Probably enough for gold unless the Russians are clean?
