Maybe something extraordinary will happen in the free…?

 

[labgoat]

They all want to go, Some just want it too much

Yes this is it. No one wants to be the one that costs them the dream...it is a special kind of pressure

Do I want to protect my peace or comment on this score? I can't decide.

My scoreboard is frozen...

Ellie. Sigh. My hip hurts from that fall. Please Here's to perfect jumps and throws in the free.

You can tell me - I am probably thinking it...

My scoreboard is frozen...

Ditto

This is the part of Olympic season that is the hardest - watching dreams that took years crumble

I knew this was a possibility, but thought it couldn't happen again...maybe I just doom my skaters

I'm so sad for Chan/ Howe. That was all about nerves and based on their practices nothing to do with their preparation.

I really like Katie Mcbeath. They would likely be in second were it not for the obvious mistake on a lift. You don't want to get a level 2 lift.

Liu/ Bedard are impressive!

Basically, a great event with one glaring terrible skate from C/ H.

Can some miracle happen and Alisa get her passport please?

If they win, I have the feeling miracles might be possible.

 

[Arriba627]

Overall though, satisfying pairs event!!!

Japanese commentators hoping for everyone to have clean free skates.

You can tell me - I am probably thinking it...

I mean, I'm almost sure of it. I'll just say that standards felt inconsistent for certain teams, and leave it at that.

 

[CellarDweller]

See you all with the women's skates!

To be honest I think it's fair. Their basics are a lot better than the others here. They also nationally and internationally get level 4s on stepseq, death spirals, spins.. That matters a lot in TES score. My favorite team is Mcbeath and Parkman but their leveled elements cost them second place.

Just hours ago...from Emily & Spencer

So am I

 

[labgoat]

I remember when Spencer & Emily held the US pairs together after the previous big guns retired. Then everyone started over with new partners. They were the standard, and then injury took out Spencer and his Olympic hopes are dimming now unless others skate badly. Just hope they can do well enough to get one last shot to go out with dignity on their own terms.

Decent pairs. As previous stated , I hope clean free skates. Nice pairs
