2016 Worlds Pairs Short Program

[Chemistry66]

If only I could watch Tarah and Danny, but I don't have headphones and I'm in lab.

I'm gonna have to call them Aliona and Bruno because everytime I see S/M I do a doubletake

74 for that skate?! The only good element is the twist. I don't know what the judges are smoking

 

[Lota]

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...

That's not exactly the case. There was a test skate for the top 4 Chinese teams and Yu/Jin just weren't chosen for some ungodly reason :dev2:

They came in 4th. Jin said they were not refined in details but they are not giving up and will work harder to bring better programs.

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

Like Nam replacing Liam in the men's event...

They're not smoking. They're mesmerized by Aliona.

 

[Serious Business]

Good on Lola and Andrei for not actually fallin', despite a song that keeps telling them to. Love how they chained a lot of elements back to back.

Oh. Thanks for the info, i found an earlier forum discussing this. The Chinese Federation doesn't make sense sometimes...

Solid Worlds debut, she looks happy

SP: 28.92+23.86 = 52.78, 6/11

 

[Violet Bliss]

Well the French have lower TES than W/W.

 

[bartlebooth]

Skating to Fallin' is like an auto-jinx.

 

[Lota]

I somewhat liked that. The program was kinda generic, but they work together well :yes:

 

[matmuh]

W&W was named for world team at 1st, P&Z wasnt , so they werent replaced in place of another team
and after this pair they seem to have made it to FP

I agree. I'm not a fan of the music or program but I think they have potential and am glad they were sent.

How magnanimous of the French Fed, actually using spots.

 

[Bumdid]

Wang/Wang just qualify !

 

[ruffledgrouse]

Is it just me or are other people kinda over Brad Griffes costumes?

 

[tulosai]

I REALLY hope this will be the year Ziegler and Kiefer FINALLY make the Free Skate....

 

[bartlebooth]

Bjork Time! :dance:
