2016 Worlds Pairs Short Program

[Violet Bliss]

Lol, I had to take a call while we were waiting for the scores. How was Meagan's reaction to finding out she was in 2nd? Do I need to add her to the list

Very happy.

Be7ng Canadian, I should be behind these 2 but it is so hard for me. I prefer lines, speed and flow.... but I always admire their tenacity and self belief. Happy for them to save their best for this competition. Well done.

No she was surprisingly thrilled, truly thrilled. Eric was a bit more... subdued.

Now that V/T is in third place, I hope we get some delicious, top notch, thread-worthy quotes from Trankov :dev2:

I can't wait to see all the +2/+3's for their two-footed throw.

 

[Ravyn Rant]

American men can't land their SBS jumps. And nothing else matters.

It's the curse of John Baldwin...he put a spell on them.

 

[andromache]

S/H should do quad twist in the LP but the quad throw is too risky. They can win without it.

Expecting Stolbova and Klimov to be clean and smooth and flawless in the LP, but I'm worried they'll pass V/T who I expect to make a mistake or two.

I don't expect D/R to be perfect in the LP either.

 

[WeakAnkles]

Eric not quite as happy as Megan with the score

There's something I really like about Megan. She seems to be quite genuine and wears all her heart on her sleeve. He on the other hand appears to have NO sense of humor. I mean like he appears completely humor-free. Sort of like being colorblind.

 

[CanadianSkaterGuy]

China's borderline holding onto 3 spots right now.

Yeah... to maintain 3 spots, P/Z and W/W should both withdraw (but not actually).

 

[FSGMT]

Overall, a fantastic competition again! It could very well be even the best SP competition at Worlds ever for Pairs I think. The only think that annoys me still is V/T's PCS :angry1:

 

[keasus]

Sui/Han were . I never realized that Han was such a fine skater. I usually can't take my eyes off of the Her Royal Divaness Sui. Just simply the best, and I love V/T and S/K as well. I am hoping for an epic free. BTW, was that Shen in the K&C? I recognized Zhou, but wasn't sure about the female. If that is Shen, all I can say is that the lady looks FAB! Whatever she's doing, I want to know what it is so I can copy it.

Max how can you dislike him

 

[lavoix]

The Canadian team really doesn't inspire me at all, their program is boring, their presentation is so below the other teams placed in the top 6.

I was very surprised by Stolbova/Klimov's mistake on the throw triple twist.

 

[Alchamei]

Calm down. Keep in mind that S/H did the easiest SBS triples, and D/R did the hardest. So if anyone deserves to be that close to them, it's D/R, with SBS triple lutzes.

Pair skating is not only about solo jumps.

 

[eta]

Just got out of class - missed almost everything, but sooooooo happy to see Sui/Han first!!! Now to find videos..

 

[bobbob]

Looking at PCS, Stolbova should have been ahead of Duhamel but the crowd was on Duhamel's side which is fine. Sui/Han's PCS (IMHO) should have been higher than V/T.

 

[robredo40]

the fs should be amazing D&R are totally capable of skating a clean fs with the quad throw nothing set in stone yet.

Why?

Agreed! I wonder what practice is like with them!

Meagan gets a lot of hate for not having the elegance of a typical pairs girl, and I understand that fans have preferences. But Meagan would be an awesome best friend.

I think he's more of the quiet introvert (certainly compared to Meagan). I understand why he was upset that they weren't in first in spite of their performance. That's as well as they've ever skated and that still wasn't good enough for the lead, so that disappointment is understandable. Had they seen S/H I'm sure they would have figured why they deserved to be 2nd -- same with the Shibs last night being unhappy with their placement, even though everyone knew if the French were clean the best they could manage was silver.

Still a personal best -- and compared to their SPs this year, a huge relief!

She was ecstatic! You would think they won from her reaction!
