So glad you started this thread, icemusings, because I noticed they switched the hours (thank goodness I checked earlier) from 11AM PST to 12PST. This worried me at first because I thought "oh no", I won't be able to watch it because it will last 3-4 hrs. like the mens & ladies did, HOWEVER THANK GOODNESS there are *only* 10 pairs competing (YEAH!) so that means it will be over in a hour at most, right? :confused:

Perfect timing, but now I'm worried about the ladies, which start at 6PM PST (I won't be here until around 7-7:30PM). I don't mind missing the first two groups, but when will the last two groups begin for ladies tonight? There are 24 competitors all together. Hmm...

ALL RIGHT, THERE ARE THE AMERICANS!!!! :clap: :yay: :rock: :love:

Both Americans look FAB per usual, but OMG another very very low turnout. :( Please, USFSA, do what Papa Henie used to do when Sonja Henie was competing in "figures", buy all the tickets and give them away for free to fill the house. :cool:

Looks like it's scheduled to end at 4:45pm with three groups and an ice resurfacing.

Today I learned Jessica Dubé is actually older than her pairs partner Sebastien Wolfe. I didn't know that was even possible or allowed in modern pairs skating. Jessica, you cougar!

Whoever edited Denney and Coughlin's cut of East of Eden is a sadist and butcher. Just awful unmusical cuts. Rachael Flatt's skating career must be rolling in its grave.

YESSSS, they never miss! :party2: She's the best lady pair skater out there when it comes to the jumps and so is he, when it comes to the USA, incomparable! :bow: :bow: :bow:

And the music of "East of Eden" fits them both so well; their smiles tell the story. :)

Nice skate by Caydee and John. High 3tw, SBS triples very good, lift nice, 3lzor f throw a tad scratchy on the landing; only really weak thing the pair spin.

They should go to the ice dancers to lean how to do pairs spins ;)

63.35 new S B

ps: I seriously think they could easily put in a quad twist like that, their 3twist is already HUGE !!!! :eek:

Good job from the Canadian pair but their 3twist isn't as huge as D&S, also D&S lifts are a tad more difficult, John lifts Caydee straight up from his hip with no assistance. :eek: :cool:

However, the female in this pair has been competing for a looooooooooooong loooong time so the international panel is used to seeing her, and she has more rep points. Jmho...

Dube & Wolf
All elements completed. Twist a little low and crashy, the 3S's lookecd very nice, the throw had smooth runout. I think they skated a little slower than John & Caydee. Better pair spin though. A good outing.

57.68 SB
