2016 Worlds Pairs Short Program

[bobbob]

Very nice! But long term, they have to do something about the two-foots. They two foot 80% of throws...

But expecting something around 75

 

[TatiMax]

What was tech score?

 

[Serious Business]

Yay, I didn't see any hand switching during the death spiral yet! I hate that so much, since it forces the man to round his back in the most grotesque way.

I think that in Switzerland they went with the French transliteration, which doesn't help English speakers.

Shitnina? :shocked:

 

[bobbob]

39.98 + 34.24

 

[whatif]

did not really care for S/M, except for the twist.

 

[blue_idealist]

For some reason in the K&C, Aliona really resembled Viktoria Sinitsina.

 

[TatiMax]

74
Very good

 

[blue_idealist]

It would be too bad if, after being chosen over Yu/Jin, Wang/Wang didn't make the free skate.

 

[Layback11]

I wanted a shot of S/M's twist so I videoed it and took a screenshot.

 

[bartlebooth]

Guarise's surname was botched, too. The more the merrier.

 

[ramurphy2005]

CBC and NBCSN TV coverage starts now.

 

[Lota]

With Wang/Wang still not through to the FS, I feel really sad for Yu/Jin, just thinking of what could have been

 

[TatiMax]

Will order pizza because if Tatiana and Maxim do bad will go anorexic for two days

 

[bobbob]

I like how NBC makes it sound like Duhamel and Radford are the favorites...

 

[Bonnie F]

10 Aliona SAVCHENKO / Bruno MASSOT (GER)

Music: Creature de Siam (Cirque du Soleil)

White strapless dress / grey vest, white shirt, black pants

3Tw - HUGE!
3FTh - big, maybe twofoot?
3T - he bit forward
4Li
PCoSp3p
StSq
BoDs

Some iffy landings, but overall strong skate. That twist is surreal

Just wanted to say thanks for your posts, I have trouble telling what jumps are being performed so even though I'm sitting in the arena, I look at your posts between skaters to help me understand the scoring!

From what I gather, Yu and Jin withdrew and Peng/Zhang replaced them. As to why, I have no idea. Peng/Zhang should have been among the 3 to begin with...

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

Refresh my memory is it CHTC or CHTCH that is the odd transliteration?

Don't know. I was just writing that from what I remembered from the Pronounciations thread.

Here is the link to the first reply to my question about it:

If you read on, this develops into a conversation between Snow63 and myself.

Hope this helps

KABOOM. That was funny...........

 

[NanaPat]

Looking at the results so far, we need one more pair to go down so Wang and Wang will make the free. Not that I wish bad luck on anybody in particular......

Note that there's one more pair before we reach the top half, where the draw is within each flight. For the first half, the draw is random within the first half. Which explains why the start order was so ... random.
