I totally forgot this pair was also in the mix. Very athletic and fresh!

 

[pangtongfan]

If Pang & Tong decide to do Worlds this year I expect the Chinese federation to send Sui & Han over the Zhangs as their 2nd team.

WOW, this performance just *may* beat Denney & Coughlin's, it's gonna be close, easy to see why they made the Olympic Team in 2010.

 

[sweetskates1]

Amanda Evora and Mark Ladwig yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It WAS better and I hope you improve your LP even more! I love the SP music arrangement

 

[dorispulaski]

Evora & Ladwig

Gorgeous
She double footed her triple jump but everything else totally special
Best death spiral in the event
3tw clean
Great lift
huge double loop great landing
Amanda says she feels good!

60.75 new PB
in 5th

 

[Serious Business]

The Sui/Han cowgirl cowboy hoedown program is old hat by now, but Colorado is the perfect place to perform it. It's not as exuberant and energetic as I've seen it before, but I blame that on the altitude/ventilation problems. They were still on like Donkey Kong. Two of the most entertaining people competing right now.

Amanda didn't fall on the SBS jump! I hope it didn't get an UR call. Classy pair.

 

[Nadine]

Wow, 5th, I'm shocked, seriously I thought at least 3rd place....

[blue_idealist]

I'm surprised about Evora/Ladwig being behind Takahashi/Tran, honestly.

Also, who would have thought Lawrence/Swiegers would be the top Canadian pair in this segment? Lol the Canadian pairs are pretty much in a dead heat, all three of them, though..

 

[dorispulaski]

Lawrence & Sweigers

my feed froze

I had to refresh and missed most all of it

E&L's PCS were 2nd highest, so yes, they must not have gotten levels on something or other or two something or others

 

[demarinis5]

Very nice skate from Amanda and Mark. Sui and Han beat Amanda and Mark in PC's (scratches head)

 

[Mao88]

Here are the protocols.
