2017 U.S. Nationals Championship Free Dance

Oh gosh, another fall on a lift! What is going on? That's like a 3, maybe 4 point deduction.
 
I feel so sorry for them.... That second fall has done it for them. They will lose to P/B for sure.
 
And then falling into their lift. They just had to give up on it. Ouch.

In fairness I don't think they gave up on it. It was a total balance loss, with the small difference in body size between them there wasn't a path to save it.
 
Kaitlyn and Jean-Luc just had their Charlie White skate...with 2 falls. So sad because they were doing so well. Probably will never happen again.

Oh, I mean "gave up on it" in the sense that there was no way to try to redo it/improvise, like singles skaters can do with jump issues.

No credit for the twizzles or the aborted lift is painful enough.

3 points deduction too? Where'd the third deduction come from? (I keep forgetting if both of them fall, if it's 2 points)
 
I love the Shibs, but this free is kind of a snooze.
