They have a beautiful head of hair - they just haven't got it gelled to the ninths today,I don’t understand the back of Timothy’s hair, it distracted me throughout the skate, but—

Don't want to spoil the party, but we still need to be realistic about the circumstances...2nd.....I don't think I've ever seen the US in podium position after the short like this.
I’m just looking back to see what I missed and, wow! @skylark, you must tell me where you buy this! And lime curd, too. Signed, fellow lime loverSounds good. We've been getting lime marmalade ... from a local specialty provider, as is the ginger jam.
Well, nobody got/skated for 9 in components as what is we're used to with Russian and Chinese pairs competing, but given the circumstances it was still an enjoyable competition from the last two groupsDon't want to spoil the party, but we still need to be realistic about the circumstances...
A US team is going to win a small gold medal at worlds. I can't.
The Ukrainians have withdrawn from the FS, citing not enough preparation time.

LOL, I wonder why you're so 'unsure'? The Japanese team are fortunate to only be five points behind the top two teams. If the judges didn't regard Miura/Kihara highly, they could have scored a point or two less, based on the clean performance by the Georgian team, and the skilled, experienced performance by James/Radford, with just a few slight miscues (basically due to J/R being new partners in their first season together).Final placement is right, what I am not sure about is this gap between first two and Japanese and then Georgians
It’s happened. They’ve won the small gold medal.I think I’d fall over in shock were that to happen.
I've been mentioning for several years the historical aspects, coupled with the fact that U.S. teams have been very good and improving since way back in 2015 with the rise of the Knierims and Denney/Frazier. As everyone should realize by now, both teams lost huge momentum due to injury and illness in the following seasons. Therefore, both teams struggled to regain fitness, confidence, and respect from the judges. At the same time, other U.S. pairs teams stepped up and stepped in to make some impact competitively, which led to the U.S. pairs division growing. (For example, Ash/Timothy, partnered in 2016; Calalang/Johnson, partnered in 2018; the former Kayne/O'Shea, partnered in 2012; Lu/Mitrofanov, partnered in 2016; and for a short time Mervin Tran, with Marissa Castelli/ later with Olivia Serafini; as well as for three seasons, the former Stellato/Bartholomay, 2016 - 2019).I may be going out on a limb here, but the USA looks like it will earn three spots for Worlds 2023....which would be first time to qualify three pairs since 2003. Twenty years!
I'm a big fan of the Japanese team, but I would actually have put C-G/L ahead of them in PCS. Like you and the judges, I would put K/F behind both of them in PCS.Good, they're right in there! And pleased to see PCS went to Riku/Ryuichi, then Ash/Tim, then Alexa/Brandon in that order.
