S&B should be pleased with their OD performance - really happy for them!!!

 

[lcd]

S&B - Good energy. Complete package. Spin got a little slow. Great job for 1st worlds.

. So I live of figure skating and my meds (it's spring break at university).

And of Golden Skate

 

[icedancedevotee]

Her skates are black - I don't think they're covered in black...interesting.

Which female skater has black skates?

 

[amateur]

Samuelson/Bates USA

That was VERY good! opening was strong, expression very strong, I would have liked to see just a bit more pep all the way through, but difficult to do that with so many difficult sequences required, I guess. Were very very sharp on expression nonethelss.

Go into 2nd... debatable to have that behin the Italians, though the Italians were not bad by any means

 

[BBI*CEO]

Anna Zadorudzniuk I think it was, had the black skates - they looked like men's dance skates to me

 

[Dodhiyel]

The announcer just said "quick step" but the pace of a great deal of that program by M&N was *not* Quick-step.

Lucie took a bit of a tumble there toward the end, like she just needed to sit down ?

Result update

Lucie Mysliveckova / Matej Novak (CZE) 26.00 + 20.35 = 46.35
Overall 74.64 #8

Almost didn't complete their twizzles and she almost fell...

 

[lcd]

ahaha.... poor coach of the Czech team... the camera of course caught him JUST as he is flinching. I love this team, they have such 'dancer' quality but as competitors, oh, they always seem to make mistakes :scratch:

 

[Medusa]

Medusa i have asthma too but got through my first winter in Finland without getting ill. Last 2 i had to head to the hospital way to often.

It must be horrible with the weather in finland, always cold, rainy... This week it was really bad here too, I think I would feel a lot better if it would just be sunny and dry outside for a few days.

And of Golden Skate

Of course. :agree:

 

[BBI*CEO]

Reeds are looking a little slow and very tentative but my goodness they've improved!

 

[Eevun]

Reeds!! \o/ how I missed them!
Was it just me, or did it look like Chris was wearing make-up..?

 

[lcd]

The Reeds do a reasonably clean performance. Good to see them even out there considering what a raft of injuries he has had. They look very happy. Find the music completely unappealing "money money.. makes the world go around"

The best scenes are the camera close ups on the coaches. Morozov looks like he's going to have a stroke as they get through some stressful part of their program

 

[london_calling]

Seriously Cathy, lay off the eye makeup!

 

[sequinsgalore]

Result update

Cathy Reed / Chris Reed (USA) 27.60 + 21.98 = 49.58
Overall 76.82 #6

 

[Medusa]

Okay, did the German commentator just say that Americans are naturally impolite?

 

[london_calling]

That program from the Zaretski's seemed slow and sloppy to me. Hope they don't go ahead of Samuelson & Bates.

 

[sequinsgalore]

Result update

Alexandra Zaretski / Roman Zaretski (ISR) 30.20 + 23.99 = 54.19

Almost no speed in the spin...
