Is it? Theres still 8 teams to go. They could end up 9th and 10th. Who have they beaten so far that you wouldnt expect?

Well I hope not.

 

[CrazyKittenLady]

Come on now, Miriam and Severin!

 

[moonvine]

lol Peng/Jin playing... what's that thing called? It's like a feathered version of hacky sack.

I thought it was hacky sack.

 

[SNAKSuyun]

S/H really should belong in a league of their own when it comes to performance and interpretation...

 

[Colonel Green]

Alright, Miriam & Severin, time to get qualifying; Miriam has already been to three Olympics, if we get to a fourth maybe she can make the free skate for the first time.

 

[Seven Sisters]

Han is such a great pair guy; I feel like he'd be the star in a lot of teams, but it's just impossible not to look at her.

The sheer drama she brings to every move—there’s nobody like her.

that said, this was not perfect, they can certainly be beaten with that

 

[flanker]

Ziegler/Kiefer, I miss their Sunshine on Leith

 

[BlissfulSynergy]

Sui/Han were surely getting the rep GOE points. Of course, they are sharp and exciting. Still, I often find it annoying that they can take so much time off to rest her injury and keep coming back at tail end of seasons and being given so much, sometimes when they are off and not necessarily deserving of some of the rep points. Not to take away from how exciting they can be to watch. But I'm being honest.

Welcome back S/H. I was wondering what shape they would be in but I didn’t have to worry. They are in it to win it. I was surprised the twist was so close to M/G but the PCS should give them the edge.

I remember seeing them as juniors as thought they wouldn’t last as they were so sloppy and unrefined but now they are one of my favourite Pairs.

Go Austria

 

[moonvine]

"Stop the count! Stop the count!"

Yes!!!

 

[icybear]

If I see judges giving the Russian higher pcs than Sui/Han I'm gonna **** them. They are the supremacy of pairs figure skating. They define quality.

 

[P44]

I know it's not really comparable but today Anna received higher pcs than Sui/Han

 

[saturdaysun]

God I've missed Sui and Han so much. Even clearly not in their peak form they are just head and shoulders above everyone else.

Yeah, M/G are really growing on me this year, vs last year. If you meant them in juniors

 

[GoneWithTheWind]

Beautiful from Miriam and Severin, so graceful and gentle

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Yay, Miriam and Severin! I don’t know about personal best but that was quality (except the twist)

 

[Ichatdelune]

The twist was a bit crashy but overall a good skate for Z/K

 

[cathlen]

Wow, Z/K did so well! This group is amazing so far!

 

[invisiblespiral]

Scary twist from Z/K, but the rest was nice.
