Pairs SP 2014 European Championships

Because skaters should receive GOE for each element, based on the quality of execution of that specific element and each PC score should be based on how well the criteria for that specific PC were fulfilled instead of getting high (or low) marks for everything just because they have made a good (or bad) general impression.
Stolbova/Klimov higher on PCS but Bazarova/Larionov higher on TES seems like a fair result.
They also edged out B/L at Nats. Not by much but clearly enough to alarm that judges are leaning towards them now. I just hope V/T don't get out of the scene after their OGM. At least stay for a season or two. From the way it looks Russian pairs really need them.

B/H are boring, pls

even J/C are far more engaging than this two

I'd have prefered if S/K had finished ahead of B/L because of their commitment to interpreting the musical theme. I'd have given them a bigger PCS lead than 0.31 points.
But 0.80 points behind is OK, they can overtake them with a good FS...
There were a lot of good performances in those last 2 groups, after all the mistakes we saw earlier!

Pairs stacking, you'll get bigger support too from international judges
notice how S/K have higher PCS now than B/L after they won Nationals
Initially, they had plans to retire after Sochi from what I heard but I think they will stay. It makes total sense as they should be able to comfortably win every event for the next couple of years at least. There is nobody anywhere near their scores.
B/H don't have the basic skating of the Russian teams but they definitely had a more complete program in terms of CH and IN.
Yes Russia sends 3 pairs to Sochi. Kawaguti and Smirnov are out because Smirnov sustained serious injuries that required a surgery. AFAIK they are still on the fence on whether to continue or not. But Kawaguti recently remarked that she wants to continue so there's a hope.
You are right you know because objectively when judges do this they just take the interest out of a competition. But the onus is on S/S to consistently skate so well that they'll be disposed to give them those marks. They wasted too much time trying to go for that throw triple axle. Its unfortunate as many a time I sense that performance grades are based on reputation rather than the actual performance.
What can I say I was just excited for them!!

You and me both. It was nice the jumps were in the same time zone for once!

This. And if B/L ultimately beat S/K here it will flip the other way again in terms of PCS for Olys, but if S/K beat B/L here the gap will probably widen slightly more. Of course this is only assuming relatively clean programs... if either team bombs a program and the other team goes clean on that program, the clean team will have higher PCS.
