agree, we tend to forget that Cong fell on his 3T in SP which cost them about 5pts I think overall - I do think that this was an important moment for them to have this kind of experience under their belts, because they surely will prepare that 4Sth going forward just in case of emergency. We'll aslo see if Aliona/Bruno will successfully carry the consistency achieved and momentum.
Had Cong landed the 3T They probably could've scored 5-6 more points, which would have had them almost tied at this particular competition, so basically tied! It's definitely a close race, a part of me wish S/H skipped Shanghai Trophy to prepare their SP better but it's nice to see that they're consistently performing their FS and getting their 3S down.
Is this the last major interntional competition we're seeing from the 4CC teams? Are the others competing at Euros?
