I agree! My husband was asking me if I was sick to death of watching their RC short dance lol.

Mine too. When Mura started skating today he said: again with Carmen?

WHAT? It has started already? I hope the stream works in my iPad :hopeless:

Does this mean that they (S/K) must do a senior B at some point to earn the technical minimum? Which ones could they do?

Zagreb?

Nelli and Alex's program looked like a rebellion against the SD format to me.

If Coomes and Buckland get 2nd here, they're through to the GPF, right?

Yes they should be the 6th qualifier I believe.

Yes, they have to get second. Two bronzes wouldn't work, I/Z would get in by having a higher finish overall.

But it looks like Penny and Nick brought it! They were full of fire today, very intense. I like them a lot, even with the height difference :biggrin:

Impressed with C/B! Saw their FP for the first time the other day and was quite impressed too. Hope they make it through.

Now the Canadians!

For now. They are scoring well for only being together 6/7 months. I am sure they have buckled down since RC. They can only get better and seem to be consistent so far.

Maybe it can happen for I/z as long as the Russian federation learns about how to combine the tech levels with goe

Alba said:
They are a new team. Hardly a surprise. I would say the same about S&K.
I actually was surprised to see I&Z at this level so soon. Did you expect them to challenge the top couples so soon? Give them time.

Ch/ba are a 2 or 3 year old team but also don't have the strangling russian federation around not knowing about high tech levels and goe in ice dance.

Yeah, I'm happy for them!

Good luck to W&P.

ETA: Thanks for answering my question, guys!

C&B (USA) got also some "generous" levels.

Anyway, as I already explained I&Z got the levels and levels is not always about understanding them.
S&K didn't worked with russian officials before CoR and they didn't got the levels What about that?
Many of us here do understand levels, but it's quite different knowing them and going out there and skate to it.

I agree Alba. I always found Evan to have the stronger skating skills. Madison still has some catching up to do. I don't think C/B won a Grand Prix medal their first season out.

Twizzles slightly out of sync. I think Kaitlyn was about half a beat behind during them.

But in terms of presentation... Wow! She sold that program! They really embody the 'matador and his cape' paso, which I like a lot. He's improved on emoting a lot. :cheer2:

I also like her dress. But what blows in the wind more... his hair or her skirt? :biggrin:

W/P should win the short by a mile.

fleeting · Nov 28, 2014

67.51 for WeaPo, in first place by about half a mile.

caitie · Nov 28, 2014

67.51... quick, how does that compare to the other top teams' scores this season?

Alba · Nov 28, 2014

So C&B have better scores than W&P, right?

charmblade · Nov 28, 2014

Hmm, Hawayek and Baker are in good position for a possible medal with their gorgeous Romeo and Juliet free dance.

And they did. Well this was fun. Except for the first two teams my predictions are a shambles.

MalAssada · Nov 28, 2014

Victoria and Nikita... WHY? :bang:
