2015 Golden Spin of Zagreb Pairs

Tastetherainbow · Dec 4, 2015

So great to see K/O skate to their fullest potential. Nationals is going to be a thriller with them vs C/T vs D/F.

I know K/O are training the quad sal, but I was hoping they can get a coach to teach Danny the twist. The twist is their weakest point, and it will not get them very far if they can't disguise the landing. That being said, they are improving, so can't wait to see them at Nationals!

Nationals is going to be a nailbiter for sure!

I thought this program was a bit boring the last time I saw it (which I think was the only time).

I liked it the one time I saw it when it was clean, but the other times I've been unimpressed. I think it is the kind of program that really demands that it be totally clean in order to prevent you from losing interest.

K/O actually won the free skate. Congrats to them for pulling up from sixth to third overall.

I agree they should concentrate on improving the twist.

HUGE CONGRATULATIONS to K/O for winning the FS! They've been looking really strong this season-I think they're probably the front runners for the second worlds spot if D/F aren't back in pre-injury shape. Really encouraging to see the American pairs doing so well! :cheer:

Except F/S, not sure what happened there. :shrug:

RE T/M: Why can't Evgenia land her throws properly? Is she injured or something?

Crossover · Dec 4, 2015

I'm surprised by the result :eeking: and sure that the pair at the U.S Nationals would be a thrilling event.

Oh!! They are the high-five team! Glad to see them do much better here than at the COR. Congratulation for the clean program and the win at the FP!
It is a very pleasant performance with nice interpretation and the chemistry between them! They look like ice dancers to me:luv17:. I look forward to seeing them at the Nationals, too!

Thank you for the link!
Sigh... they are not having a good season.
This is not a good program for them (including orchestra noise, conductor tapping the baton, and abrupt cuts in the middle) Adding the technical mistakes, it is a mess. They must be really disappointed...

3T3T · Dec 5, 2015

I was very impressed with T/M in the short (one of the top scores this season) and was hoping they were back to their best but the errors returned in the free. No combo and a shaky landing on the 3ThS, I'm not sure if this long is working for them. I would have them as a clear fourth in Russia this year, well behind the top 3 but clear of teams behind them. It's going to be very difficult for them to make the team Euros or Worlds.

Good to see that A/R are coming back into good form. They had a great skate at Nebelhorn but hard a poor Grand Prix series and now seem to be returning to form. I like the idea behind the free and they pull it off very well, it will be interesting to see how they do in Russian nationals. I don't ever remember K/O before this season but what I have seem of them this season I really like, they have a nice chemistry and style on the ice, I would have them as my favourite US couple, hopefully they can make the team for worlds.

I was a bit underwhelmed with Z/E in the COR but they were slightly better here but I still think the music in both programmes is to big for them. From looking at the protocols it was disappointing for the Italians, particularly after their great skate in the Warsaw cup where they got a SB and beat S/M on TES, maybe it was to soon to be competing again. I think they could challenge M/H in Italian nationals they really have improved this season.
