we in the US cant access any of the TV broadcasts and the live streaming doesn't include most of the Pairs - if anybody could post videos I would be eternally grateful ( and I am sure other Canadian skating fans I the US would too!) ThanksTop two pairs were AMAZING! A lot of things about this weekend are going to be bittersweet, including third place for pairs. I just hope that all teams can have really good skates that they are proud of.
What a pleasure it was, especially after watching the men's short program, to see our top two pairs lay it down. There is little to choose between these two teams - I preferred MT-M's chreography and refinement, but was impressed by D-R's inventiveness and technical difficulty.
I often am bothered by Meghan's lack of grace in her skating, but obviously she has other gifts. Who else is ballsy enough to put side-by-side triple lutzes in a short program? (Nobody else - that's who) This particular trick was executed as well as I've ever seen them do it, and the entry to their death spiral was a small miracle of creativity. I would have scored these performances just as the judges did - small edge to D-R, but oh so close.
Should be a great fight in the long program. This is a fun time to watch pairs in Canada.
