Yeah, this version of COP sucks! You can totally zamboni the ice with your bum and still win . . . how is that possibly any good for the sport?

Pang/Tong, lovely as usual :) I want her to get her jumps back!
Their PCS should fly out the window (but I should be the last person to judge that, since they are one of my favourites...)

P/T only 3rd in TES behind S/H and Y/C. Over-scored PCS saved them in every way in this event.

Would someone explain how S/H got such high technical scores with two falls? Since the quad was two-footed, can it be worth so much as to make up for two falls? This looks totally ridiculous.
Not sure I like the pair, well Sui specifically, her style is too juniorish and messy. Maybe she'll get better in the future...

^ I dunno, but one thing's for sure, China is getting a free pass from the wrath that Canada suffered just last week, though I'm not quite sure why that is. ;)

I don't really get why I/M were treated like garbage here. Maybe because of Sui/Han?

Protocol is out. And the answer is...stacking difficult elements after half way point. S/H and P/T both have 5 Jump/Lift elements after half way point while the I/M and Y/C has three. Also they have higher level lifts / Twist Lift / Death Spiral as well as the only team to do a throw quad 4S and 3F.

The PCS on the other hand is definitely too high since they fell on 2 jumps....massively distracting and threw their timing off for the remainder of the performance. The program also don't fit them nearly as well as the SP did. I would have them in 3rd place behind Y/C.

P/T's performance is beautiful but geez what happened to the SBS jumps? o_O

I think this is a very exciting team. Very expressive and they take a lot of risks!!!
