New PB! Yes! Though it was rough good for them! And those lifts were SO good!

cathlen · Mar 17, 2016

I see that unlike SP yesterday, there are a lot of falls today

If you mean China, then I think 2nd place at WC is great showing for me. It's normal that you don't win titles right after you shift to seniors. If you meant other, then sorry.

Yeah, Sui and Han did well. True. But looking through some of these names, seems like a bunch split or retired. Especially some of the young US and Russian teams seem to have a lot of partner switching.

Immediate success on the SEnior level is definitely rare, I agree.

I was just referring to pairs. Hadn't even looked at dance.

cathlen · Mar 17, 2016

You know, I wonder how Liu/Johnson got this monstrous PCS, they were better than others, yes, bu so much?

And there were two falls too.... Little weird the got their PB here.

EDIT: And they got lower PCS yesterday, and suddenly they improved in every aspect overnight? Well, good for them.

CaroLiza_fan · Mar 17, 2016

Arrived just in time to see Manacorda / Macii.

Not a bad couple to start my viewing with! They were good!

Season's Best, but not enough for the lead.

They seem absolutely delighted, though! :cheer:

Whoa!!! Just saw the results table. :jaw:

That's a pretty big lead!

Now for the moment of truth (and for the nerves to take over!)

The Italians got 2 spots for their country next year

Are there any other junior pairs there, though?

CaroLiza_fan · Mar 17, 2016

Awww!!!!

Anna looks completely lost skating around on her own!

Anybody want to play "Where's Martin"?

Irma Caldara/Edoardo Caputo placed second in the Italian Nationals at the junior level. She'll be 16 in July and he'll be 20 in August so they still have 2 Junior seasons.

Solid skate with good difficulty, could be enough for gold. Hope they get better programs next season, though

FS: 57.83+55.27 = 113.10 (PB), 172.60 (PB), 1/11

It would take a total bombfest from another team, but there's a chance the US pairs could get the three spots again...

(Liu/Johnson can place no lower than 5th and Weinstein/Simon no lower than 9th; one pair would have to place behind one of them.)

Got to keep them in the running to keep 3 pairs for the USA for next year!

CaroLiza_fan · Mar 17, 2016

Wow!!! Look at the difference in the TES box. Over 12 points ahead of the current leaders.

I think we have just seen a gauntlet thrown down.

Right, Anna and Martin. Just go out there and skate the best you can.

I really like this Russian pair. Might be my favourite tbh. (with Ustimkina/ Volodin too)

cathlen · Mar 17, 2016

Wow! Super high score for M/M :clap:
