2017 Four Continents Pairs SP

[skylark]

They got like 8 points from that twist alone, whereas C/LD got ~5 points from their twist. Also better throw by Peng. Coupled with Chinese prestige, the loss in the spin can be easily made up. (Plus, they had better programs)

thanks. I should look at the protocols before I go all :hpull:

And the lift. Theirs is way too simple. C/L need to up their technical content and not over sell things. It looks bad. Just skate and express without acting like you did 12 quads. IN the beginning I got it but now mature. With that they would do way better. Takes time.

Why is the CBC stream replaying the Korean pair?

because he is a harem wannabe

I see your "wink," but seriously, couldn't this be a result of the competition being at 11 am. on a work day Thursday? That's way worse, to me, than a comp starting at 4 p.m. At US nationals, attendance picked up for the evening session, after a dismal 4:00 showing.

Aren't the Olympics in 2018 going to have a similar morning schedule? Bodes well for attendance there too!

I did not know that Ashley Cain used to skate with Joshua Reagan. Interesting. Did they compete for Canada or the U.S.?

Couldn't they bus in some school children? Or fill it with civil servants? Think creatively!

If it's an apple, try chrome. Safari seems to have a lot of missing plus-ins. Including on the demo computer in the store!

It's a windows laptop, I just tried on my sisters too and no luck I'll see if there are other streams avaliable

Have you ever tried getting school children to sit down for hours?

 

[ancientpeas]

I'm going to say it..because I can: Cain and Leduc have crappy music this year. I put a spell on you and The Prayer? Next year will it be Phantom and Feeling Good?

Jackie Wong (@rockerskating on twitter) had some good points too. He said that program clean should be about low 70s, so the score made sense. And the PCs were 2 points lower than at GPF, as they should have been.

The US.

Just print out a few thousand cardboard cutouts of random people's faces and throw some background clapping noises. If they don't pan into the audience we'd never even know.

Hence why I suggested seniors. The worst they would do is nod off.

Just rotate them in and out. I'm a bit worried about the seniors. "Junior seniors" would be OK, but the seniors living in care homes , who would be easier to round up, might have trouble on the stairs.

I love Peng and Jin, and this cute program, but how come they're first after that botched spin? :ddevil: Can someone explain. I'm trying to be rational here.

Their twist is really good, and so is their throw. They are a strong team overall and probably would have scored in the 70s without the botched spin. A 66 is low for them.

How about giant heads of famous people so the tv audience thinks cool celebrities are there. Like Jay-Z and Beyonce for the SD?

Round up! Hehehe...sorry I'm actually laughing here.

FRANCIS is so delicious he and Mervin should come back to Canada... I hear Justine Brasseur needs a new partner

Ash has always represented the US, despite having multiple options (Canadian Mum, Aussie Dad)

For more about her partnership with Josh, see the Fan Fest I made for Ashley a few years ago (and which I badly need to update!):
