[SarahSynchro]

Apparently I am soooo extremely far out of the loop: are Alexa and Chris not competing here? Is she still injured?

 

[topaz emerald]

go mervin and marissa!

 

[Crossover]

Go Marissa and Mervin!

 

[Tastetherainbow]

The curse of the triple sals strikes once again! C/T, what will I do with you...

Not still injured, just not enough time to train after she had stomach surgery. They're training in full again, but just didn't start soon enough to get to the level they needed to.

Out of all of the US teams, I think Marissa and Mervin have the most potential but they just can't seem to get there. It's frustrating.

 

[Chemistry66]

Oof, lots of items under review for Marissa and Mervin.

 

[StitchMonkey]

Remind me what a red square means?

Yellow is review i believe.

Does Tara ever watch C/T? I like Marissa but a hugely consistent skater???? During the past two years?????

Mervin/Marissa

She's in a similar dress to Ashley's SP, except her open back just...keeps...going... all the way to the front of the hip and splits the skirt He's in a matching shirt sans open back and split side

G*****m, if only they'd stop falling they would be amazing. So much yellow in the tech graphic...

Negative GOE.

 

[skatemouse]

Ya she is not liking him at the moment. 4 Items under review. They are just not getting there. After she didn't even look at him. That totally effects things. Hmm.
I read in the practice area he dropped her in practice while here yesterday I think maybe something is up? She hung onto the throw though! Good.

 

[Jammers]

C/T have the best skating skills among the top US teams but they can't land those jumps.

Negative GOE I assume?

God, stop breaking my heart Marissa and Mervin. Just stop. This pair will always make me sad.

Red = Negative GOE

I love them both separately, but I don't feel like Marissa and Mervin have gelled as a team.

Red means STOP THESE STUPID TRAFFIC LIGHT SYMBOLS THEY ARE BAD

(I don't like them if you can't tell )

Liike she's been so awesome lately? She can't land a SBS jump ever.

 

[Plisskin]

As usual, I'm pissed off watching all of that potential in Marissa and Mervin wasted yet again.

Castelli / Tran: Solid 3Twist to open. Unfortunate fall for Castelli on the sbs 3S. Not a lot of height on the throw 3S but very strong run-out. Nice rotational entry into the final death spiral. Very strong transitions and positions, so they should still score rather high on artistry.
