Must be 51.12. They don't have the ability to score over 55 pts yet.

Duhamel/Buntin Canada- Score 58.66 into first. She has the best death spiral I have seen in a long time.

eta: Carac/Coia France= very nice program. I would put them in first but she had a fall I believe on her throw triple jump. Will have to see what the judges think.

eta: Score 47.54 into third place.

eta: Vise/Trent US still skating she had a fall on her throw triple jump. Other than the fall beautifully skated program. Let see what the judges say.. Score 46.48 4th place.

Is it just me or did she not get enough height? It also looked like he threw her kind of lopsided, but that might just be me.

Duhamel/Buntin were great IMO. I really like them.

thank you demarinis5 for the update. :thumbsup:

Your welcome.

I don't even have to wait for the scores on M/T- Russia. Best
skated program so far. Should go into first.

ETA: Score 64.84 into first, no suprise.

S/S are on fire. WOW!!!

eta: Score 68.18 well deserved into first. I have voiced my admiration for this program in other threads but this performance was the best so far this season for them. I love this SP.

Congrats to all.

 

[lmarie086]

Whoa!! S/S were like speedskaters out there; so fast! And if I'm not mistaken, totally clean?

I found myself enjoying this program much, much more than at SA, and they looked like they were enjoying themselves. (I still prefer M/T's SP though).

And they shoot into the lead.

 

[cloudkicker09]

To be quite honest, I do not like the Russian pair, I would have kept D/B in first, well perhaps second now after the German pair.

I think S/S's triple twist wasn't very clean, so the score can be slightly higher than this if the triple twist's completely clean! I see them getting maybe 70 later on of the season

 

[Ptichka]

M&T almost matched S&S on elements!

Of course, when it comes to those two, you can't say anything until the LP

 

[Buttercup]

S/S were great and deserve to lead, but I really don't like the program. Or the costumes. Or, to nitpick, Aliona's new hairstyle; it looks like she went to Plushenko's stylist.

But all credit to Ingo Steuer, Aliona and Robin. There aren't many pair teams who can skate that fast and that well, even if the program was too showy for my liking.
