Loved M-T/M's program, it was amazing, I would have given the best mark on Choreography!
I might be in minority but while I appreciate to see side by side jumps other than 3S or 3T, I hate D/R side by side 3Lz, they are far apart and her's always looks short on rotation. It's a bit annoying that the judges usually overlook this aspect. If she landed that lutz in singles she would most likely be hit with Ur or even Dg. Still, a very ambitious program, very difficult and full of transitions.

Meg and Eric, and M-T/M are clearly the class of this field, and have the most international experience (outside of Hao Zhang). Lawrence/ Swiegers, obviously are not clearly above all the rest, nor do they have the int'l experience that their compatriots have.
I think both American teams were a bit dunned in the marks and could/ should have scored slightly higher (54.50 to 56.00 range). If things stay fairly the same in the long programs, it will be the two American teams battling for bronze, but they both need to skate clean.
Politically, it might be difficult for a Canadian sweep, even if Lawrence/ Swiegers were to perform better in the free skate. And, in any case, the rest of the teams are competitive with L/S.

well D/R arent the only taht have far apart SBS, B/L comes to mind
and if B/L get +GOE's especially for Vera's jumps, then D/R surely can,
though D/R twist aren't that great yet, P/T and B/L still beat them for that
ITA. It just doesn't look effortless. Their SBS lutz, although extremely difficult, lacks the elegance and beauty.
Here's a well done SBS 3Toe.

I completely agree with all of this
It doesn't get better than this, simply gorgeous
. No team currently competing have the same unison, grace and elegance.

Like I said I would expect at least one American team to podium but what is interesting with two huge mistakes L and S aren't out of a bronze.
