What a lovely LP that was! K/S became so wonderful on ice.. I also respect them for their great exhibition programs, which are always packed with interesting elements

low score

 

[HR4]

The scorebis really low I think for what they've showed. I think they deserve higher components

Some mistakes, but their BV should be very high

 

[ImaginaryPogue]

D/R were blazing until the last lift, which won't count. Wow to what they did well though. Should score well anyway.

 

[sky_fly20]

K/S so underrated now

 

[Kinga]

Good effort from D/R. Just when I thought this will earn a lot of points, they botched the lift.
I also think that the commands from the coach during SBS spins should be forbidden.

Duhamel/Radford
122.89, total 187.09 and into 1st

 

[ImaginaryPogue]

Guathier + Marcotte + Radford + Duhamel = lovely commentators. Talking about the missed timing, confirming the lift won't count - love listening to them.

Duhamel is seriously an amazing analyst. ("-1 for the twist, -1 for the combo.... Still good"). Scored well because of their EPIC base value and solid GOEs on most of the elements. Guys, take this team seriously as a thread for bronze here and at Worlds.

I agree that commands from the coach should be forbidden, but couldn't it have been Eric giving the commands?

 

[Kinga]

I agree that commands from the coach should be forbidden, but couldn't it have been Eric giving the commands?

Maybe.. But that should be forbidden too, IMO. Its really distracting and the unison should come without saying anything

 

[ImaginaryPogue]

It was Eric. Don't worry, I made the same mistake during Canadian Nationals one year. Kirsten Moore Towers and Jessica Dube also give the spin commands.
