Tulosai, I agree with you again!
I want to watch I/K again their skating skills are just
Agree. Their glide and knee action (especially his) on those edges in the step sequence were incredible to watch.
I was thinking the same

Just a reminder, D/W haven't broken their world record yet.
ETA: And they won't today. 73.70. The tech controller was clearly much stricter than in Skate America.
They went down 2.0 points from the SA performance. C/L also lost points from SA. Only the Shibs improved their scores. Interesting...

Not just that. Their elegance, the attention to detail in the upper body movement throughout. They have the whole package. Stunning performance.
It's a shame they continue to struggle to hit the levels.
I'll be interested to watch the video of this when it's available. Maybe it's just my feed quality but I thought Charlie made a minor error during the compulsory dance or maybe it was just the choreo looking awkward to me since no one else has mentioned it! The commentators are no help to me since I don't speak Russian, lol.
Anyway a nice skate. I'm disappointed in C/L's skate since I loved it so much at Skate America, they just didn't look as sharp/natural to me as they did there. I really liked IK's new program and am happy for the Shibs.
I second this advice. I always do this before I stream any skating competition, it makes the streams run noticeably better for me.

C/L got 36.50 in TES at Skate America. They were six points behind here. Overall their score went down by about five points.

Yep. Yep. Yep. I'm interested in seeing the protocols.
If (and it's a big "if") the FD shows this much improvement, I'm not sure how they can be beaten, barring catastrophe.
FWIW, I think I would have scored the Shibs 2nd in this dance, and I'm not a huge fan. I thought they skated that quite well.
Well, the judges off the home soil certainly don't think so. OGM worthy? Nobody can even tell they are skating to My Fair Lady.

I third that - just amazing edge quality and they also have good connection and expression.
Just curious, what exactly is "Interruption in excess"?

LOL--I corrected it when you posted this. Oops for me. LOL. But it does tell you the judging at SA was on the generous side.

It means it took them a long time to recover from that fall and get back into the program.
Which is pretty encouraging for the Shibs since their TES and overall score improved. It's clear to me the Shibs were focus on hitting the key points and perhaps sacrificed some speed. I think that proved to be a smart strategy.
