I think the twist almost looked planned??

Stay calm, stay calm....

 

[flanker]

Ouch, not a good start for Stellato-Dudek/Deschamps

 

[Ichatdelune]

I think the twist almost looked planned??

If it was a double then I'd think maybe so, but a single...

 

[lariko]

Loved the ending!

 

[labgoat]

Love the softer look on Deanna - she no longer has that tense look on her face.

 

[Karoltyna]

camera tricks during lifts... please, fire cameraman before tomorrow

 

[FlossieH]

I'm sorry, but that was poor from Max and Deanna compared to what we know they can do. Hopefully it is just a blip.

 

[norwegianfairytale]

They should be ahead in PCS and have a small margin, but oh boy... what happen

 

[museksk8r]

Throw 3loop with -GOE and they look very tentative and cautious throughout. Definitely not the start they needed or wanted.

Well, that was a really strange mistake, not sure what happened on the twist. I like the idea of this program, but the first 2/3rds are pretty bland while they get the elements done, and there was a long set up into the throw during the crescendo of the music. I wonder if they got off the music or something, or if there's some sort of injury, something just seemed a little off throughout this program. Hopefully they'll come back stronger in their next event.

apparently the long wait is due to a judge asking for a review of the sequence call because Max's foot down wasn't weight-bearing, ergo the third 2A should still be valid.

Okay.. I am worried. The twist didn't go up. The lifts were difficult. I fear an injury. They fought for the SBS and throws otherwise they would have lost a ton of points... So kudos to them. This program has so much promise but I cannot help being worried.

I will translate if they speak French in the KNC

 

[Arriba627]

Tough start. Uh oh. They don't look like they have their usual speed and attack.

 

[bartlebooth]

I was scared all the program. Is he injured? It was all very tentative, I'm happy they avoided major disasters.

 

[Lamente Ariane]

So rare to see a popped twist... a lot of nervy little mistakes after that, just felt like Max was a bit off his game or something. Well, this is the kind of skate you learn from, I think, and they'll still go into first for now I should think.

 

[cocteautwin]

Wow, the mistake on te twist was unexpected, I wonder what happened. They were a bit off today but nothing disatrous, should stay in 2nd (if M/K won't completely flop)

 

[Ichatdelune]

Overall rough, would love to know what just happened...

 

[Ares]

If it was a double then I'd think maybe so, but a single...

Probably a very rare kind of error.

 

[Jeanie19]

Deanna/Maxime/ Great outfits and program. A couple mistakes, but still a good skate.
