Not to mention the -1.00 point deduction for the fall. It's obvious, it cost them the victory. Ksenia could have been a bit classier about it (especially when she herself messed up), but oh well.

I'd have it 3T-3T > 3T-3T+SEQ > 3T-2T-2T. (A sequence can't be harder than an outright 3-3, right? Since you can rebalance if the landing of the first jump is bad.)
First, Stolbova has always been like this, so I don't really get the surprise. Second the pressure Russian figure skaters endure is phenomenal, how they do so well is a mystery in itself.

Well I didn't know she has always been like this, so I WAS unpleasantly surprised. And ALL figure skaters endure pressure. How can it only be Russians??

Agreed but in pairs a sequence IMO should be worth slightly more than in singles give the need to maintain unison.

I was afraid there was going to be another "death stare" moment from Stolbova after that unfortunate toe pick fall for her partner Klimov. I really felt bad for him.
Very happy for Kavaguti/Smirnov and the 3rd Russian team (looking very promising). So impressed with Valentina's pairs' partnership!
