Kudos to Raffaella and Alexey taking the issues with smiles and laughter

 

[moonvine]

In my dreams.

But he certainly isn't contributing to the Shib hype, is he? LOL

I mean he threw shade at arranged teen marriages last year. …

What happened with the music? I didn't hear anything amiss.

Ben Agosto said there was a music overlap from somewhere else, so there were two pieces of music playing.

 

[elbkup]

They were really chill tho and the audience was great!!

 

[cocteautwin]

She really brought a party and made it look like those weird circumstances made her enjoy it even more

We need a bingo card for these things - music problem, costume malfunction, etc...

I like the ease with which Alexey lifts and moves with Raffaella during lifts and on one foot during rotational lift.

The wrong music was played.

 

[CellarDweller]

they'll get a deduction right? like -4 point. and it's not their fault

Ben said that if the stop was not due to a skater mistake, then there is no deduction.

What is the cause of a negative GOE on choreographic element?

 

[auser]

Maybe I should stop and get back to work because I'm technically on the clock

Hope you can come back soon.

2nd place?? BOOOOOOOO!

 

[labgoat]

Canned Heat is a nice candy apple performance

 

[museksk8r]

Maia and Alex really could not afford those mistakes. They need to be squeaky clean and hope for mistakes from other top teams to make the Olympic team.

 

[elektra blue]

is it just me or they looked tentative? and the judges didn't like what they saw?

 

[cocteautwin]

Why did they change quite a decent rhythm dance to sth so boring and generic? It was the least entertaining performance so far. Koncius/Shepetov brought more fun even with the huge pause.

 

[Karoltyna]

oh, well...

New programs need a lot of break-in time especially dance

 

[museksk8r]

They have the same expressions they had after disappointing mistakes during the Grand Prix. They both know that a score of 71 is not enough.
