2012 Cup of China Short Dance

This will be interesting! I'm so surprised the stream works for me for a change

 

[Dots]

Me too.... It should be fun.

Team China not very good

 

[Mrs. P]

Oooh B/S look really good! Even better than at SA. What do you think Doris?!

 

[Mirunna]

Lovely program from B/S! They look so confident on the ice now

 

[Dots]

I like the first part of this SD, but the second part kind of dies... hwell:

 

[samson]

Nice effort by B/S. The way their music ends is so weird to me, it just dies out kind of like how it used to happen in Compulsories. Not much impact to me. But definitely growing from last year. Not surprisingly in first so far.

 

[Mirunna]

Nice skating from W/P. It should be close

 

[dorispulaski]

Mrs. P, I thought they skated that quite well; about the same as SA. From a personal test point of view I want them in different costumes.

 

[Mirunna]

Nervous for P/B, I want them in first

 

[auser]

Lovely program from B/S! They look so confident on the ice now

I think Sasha Z has been good for them, given their skating a cleaner, crisper look.

 

[Mrs. P]

Like Weaver's new dress. I would have had them behind B/S actually, but basically the scores are close, so I'm fine with them.

 

[Mrs. P]

is that flip move legal?

ETA: good program. 69.15. Hm....interesting.

 

[dorispulaski]

Can't say I like the can can as a choice for the YP. It makes the timing seem off when it isn't. But it does fit the story line they are using.

 

[Dots]

Well that was lovely from P/B. The ending needs to have more of a punch to it to have more impact, but a nice outing for sure.

 

[samson]

I would agree Mrs. P I thought B/S were a little stronger here tonight. But it looks like it was a really tight one. W/P won it in the TES B/S got the edge in PCS.

P/B gave a great debut! Head and shoulders above the rest for me.

 

[Mao88]

S/Z low score well I'm not expecting much until they leave Kustarova/Aleexa
horrible coaches !

hope they do better in FD

They seem to have gone backwards compared with last season. I agree, they need a coaching change.

 

[1795]

awkward lift....
im not enjoying the tempo alteration to fit the polka...
it got weird and sluggish. and i think a little fumble/glitch in the 3rd pass.

but overall charming

echoes of delobel/schoenfelder....

 

[Macassar88]

Hopefully videos are up soon, but from what I've seen in scores, Pechalat and Bourzat aren't going to get thrown under the bus after their "pity" medal at worlds.

 

[Mirunna]

YESSS what a score! Lovely program they look sharp, I was afraid that since this was their first international competition they will look a bit rusty. Great, great, great french program:yay:

B/S edge out W/P on the PCS score this time. Hmm
