That was a lovely performance from P/T. It's too bad his single jump skills have deteriorated.

I think he has serious knee issues.

I think he has serious knee issues.

yes Tong had knee injury at Skate America
I think he needed operation but postponed it

Interesting to see that Ksenia and Fedor had the highest TES
S&K = 58.14
K&S = 57.09
P&T = 53.74

That explains a lot. Yet, they are lovely to watch.

and their PCS are now ahead of Canadians MT/M
I prefer Stolbova/Klimov than to Bazarova/Larionov, they could become Russian No.3 soon if they keep this up
