[H.Y.]

Good skate for METELKINA and BERULAVA，but the program is boring(the reason of choreography)

 

[tsuyoboogie]

SHUT UP CHRIS!!!!!


I should be watching a Japanese broadcast...

Even with the glitches, I enjoyed Danny and Ellie's skate more than Anastasia and Luka's : complexity, performance and of course quintessential pairs guy Danny O'Shea.

 

[H.Y.]

oh no

 

[moonvine]

What is going on with them, I hope they are ok?

I really like this program for these two - it's such a fast tempo and so intense, and I love the construction of it, with the spin on the music change. Aside from the silly spin error, this was a great skate for them, and that end is just so thrilling and dynamic. Hopefully they will get something out of that spin after review. and they do! Their PCS should help.

 

[4everchan]

What the spin !

 

[Dawn825]

Oh God, please don't let them lose in front of the home crowd...

 

[el henry]

What happened with that spin?

Are the less than scintillating Georgians going to win gold?

 

[Ichatdelune]

Yee pair spin issue... oh lord invalidated?

I will forever want a bright bubbly program that shows Kihara Ryuichi's smile off but again, much better than what they used to have

 

[H.Y.]

so pity the spin

 

[readernick]

What happened with that spin?

Are the less than scintillating Georgians going to win gold?

Yes

 

[Flying Feijoa]

Generally the fewer music cuts the better for me, but I feel like Adios is a bit monotonous and could do with a second piece to break it up

 

[Dawn825]

Noooo

 

[4everchan]

damn it... and that spin broke my crystal ball.

 

[Dawn825]

That hurts

 

[Ichatdelune]

Yeah the pair spin did cost them the title... I mean I can't complain that Metelkina/Berulava won the competition when they had all the tech, but...
