I'm already nervous for the long!
NBC so messed up the flags.
NBC so messed up the flags.
So...what does everyone think of the judging?
I speak as one who never liked Kavaguti/Smirnov, I hate hate hate her flexed feet. Still do. Needs to take that door-stopper out of her hamstring. However, their SP performance just now was inspired, beautiful and incredibly difficult. I think their score is accurate. Still, she needs to fix her feet.
If anything, I think Shen/Zhao got slightly lower scores than they deserved, especially in the PCS.
The only score I have a huge problem with is Dube/Davison. That was a horrible skate even if you ignore the fall. Minor bobbles all over. Slow and tentative. I am befuddled by those marks. No way did they deserve to be over their compatriots, or even M/T and V/M.
For me, S&S were crisp, but mechanical; I felt completely unmoved by their program. Perhaps I am just a little tired now, but this is how it impressed me. I notice that many pairs cannot get the catchfoot death spiral low enough, and I consider them in this category. I thought that S&Z did that move much better. The S&S thrown jump was very big, however.
The top 3 is about right.So...what does everyone think of the judging?
Like most of the ice dance teams, for instance
Final thoughts....
Btw for those who watched the NBC broadcast... did you noticed the epic fail? When did Shen & Zhao became Canadian and when did Dube & Davison became Chinese?
