That was a big score!
I'd say this should lead if it wasn't for the fall, but now I'm not sure, especially taking into account the judges' love of V/T.

Would have been 136 with no deduction, I still think that was a bit of a lowball compared to V/T's score. Tatiana did put her hand down on one of her throws.

Solid skate, some big mistakes, so I don't think it is enough to get gold.
I agree if not for the fall it should lead. They also have to REALLY work on getting their side by side spins together. They are just awful this competition, and really stand out because they are so bad compared to the rest of their skating.
I agree! I really liked S/S... But this is the first medal ever for Italy in Pairs!! :yay::yes:It's extremely, extremely frustrating how Volosozhar/Trankov can skate an empty program where they mostly stroke from one element to another and not really pay much attention to the music and get 9s whilst Savchenko/Szolkowy show an extremely complex routine where pretty much everything is connected with transitions to get almost 2 points less on the PCS. Seriously, this is just ridiculous. Why even bother?
However, there is no denying the judges have somehow fallen in love with V/T.
