About Hawayek/Baker:
- Lift is their signature besti squat curve lift
- She fell when he grabbed her hand after the twizzles
- Need some more authority and smoldering for this SD to work (maybe the fall rattled them)
SD: 27.63/27.48-2.00 = 53.11, 3rd (out of 8)

I'm not their fan either, but I must say I like their SD more. It's different.

I loved that lift in last year's FD, but it didn't quite seem to fit the program here. It seemed like they found a place in the music that could fit the lift, as opposed to finding a lift that fit the music.
More than what? W/P's SD? Or their last season SD?

The audio is weird. Is it just me?
It's in sync., but it looks like separate from the danze. Like it was added to the dance from another source, not live.
The audio/video quality of the archived individual programs is far superior to the live stream -- at least for me.
And I am impressed that the archived video of each separate program has been posted so quickly. :yay:

About Zhiganshina/Gazsi:
- He looks so different: short hair, stubbles, and wearing a wifebeater
- She's an Italian hausfrau? I wonder what the story is...
- Twizzles off unison
- Rotational lift with him swinging her around his neck is clunky
SD: 30.73/29.94-2.00 = 58.67, 3rd

W&P's SD.
Still, it's too early and I have to see them again, with a proper audio if possible.

Nebelhorn SD PROTOCOLS -- which reflect the judging experiment in effect.
So this wraps up the SD, besides everyone almost wearing the same (laughs) a nice opener in my opinion. My favorite pair was from Canada but not Kaitlin and Andrew even though they were decent today.
A few couples struggled like the Koreans but also Weaver Poje.
Details later, the results for now are:
1 Kaitlyn WEAVER / Andrew POJE 65.59 1
2 Madison CHOCK / Evan BATES 62.80 2
3 Nelli ZHIGANSHINA / Alexander GAZSI 58.67 3
4 Kaitlin HAWAYEK / Jean-Luc BAKER 53.11 4
5 Elisabeth PARADIS / Francois-Xavier OUELLETTE 47.62 5
6 Allison REED / Vasili ROGOV 42.50 6
7 Cortney MANSOUR / Michal CESKA 40.15 7
8 Yura MIN / Timothy KOLETO 40.10 8
9 Lauri BONACORSI / Francesco FIORETTI 39.29 9
10 Rebeka KIM / Kirill MINOV 38.61 10
11 Carter Marie JONES / Richard SHARPE 36.35 11

Violation of choreography restrictions is?
I agree, I liked them more than W/P today. But I agree with final placing.
Edit: one of the judges gave C/B only 6.5 for skating skills. I bet he's (or she's) canadian
I enjoy Z/G programs as kind of the art house movie version of ice dance story telling. I don't always know what they are going for, but it is usually interesting. So is their vision of the bullfighter and his cape like Stanley and Stella in a Streetcar Named Desire? Only they know for sure.
