2014 Olympics Pairs Short Program

CanadianSkaterGuy · Feb 11, 2014

P/Z were superb! So nice to see them come on strong. A lot of people had written them off as an inferior version of Zhang/Zhang, and she's really proven herself. :clap:

A bit slow in some sections, but the elements were wonderful.

Tara and Johnny are so pretty in pink today! Tara is like a cute Polish princess with her blush pink wreath while Johnny... way too much blush!

Peng and Zhang's PCS seemed a bit low for me. I thought it was really a lovely performance.

It was 29.70 here, versus 30.04 at the team event. So they could have gotten higher PCS, though it may be due to a slightly different judging panel.

Johnny in hot pink blazer.
Tara has a maid's ruffled bandeau on her head under her head phones. What's with that?

DaveT · Feb 11, 2014

I think Tara's head thing is just Tara trying to keep up with Johnny. LOL.

Felicia and Nathan are just so darn adorable.

Israel first.

So far no one fell on a jump (yes, the Italians tripped but that was a fluke). :agree:

You're right sequinsgalore, if they don't get a PB for that I would be ticked. Great job from them.
