I don't get I/K programm, it is strange.

Agree. It's unsettling and doesn't do anything to showcase their skating.

And dare I say it, I/K look undertrained.

I hate, hate, hate Ghost but seeing Nikita look so devastated in the kiss-and-cry is really sad.

51.81 for PCS?

Anybody knows what Tkachenko just said? I think he said that you're now going to be disqualified for taking breaks in the program? Or did I get that wrong?

I’m watching Latvian TV so I logged in on Russian forum to check it. He said "I heard, that..."

 

[bigsisjiejie]

Absolutely ridiculous PCS score. Another "Judges' Pet" team.

 

[Kissx3]

Oh that was Ghost? I didn't even hear one "you in danger gurl!" First problem right there.

B/S needs to stay 3rd now to keep 3 spots, I/K are headcases
well both are headcases so

 

[VIETgrlTerifa]

I think if the rest of this flight place higher than I/K then B/S will win bronze if they skate comparatively to P/B and the Italians.

 

[neraiselle]

Well done, the Shibutanis!

Poor Alex is white as a sheet. The arena air quality can't be helping him; doesn't he have stamina issues sometiems? I remember last 4CC's where he nearly passed out. Granted, it was high altitude, but poor guy. He is struggling.

Great news!

I thought more they looked under-trained. If they were really and truly headcases they never could've pulled it together after that beginning.

ROTFL - thank you for this!

I adore the Shibs program. It's the only one so far that's drawn me in completely.

 

[WeakAnkles]

Good for the Shibs. They've lost some of their speed, but they are definitely getting back on track. It will be very interesting next year.

maybe just send Stepanova/Bukin they are more stable
I know they are still juniors but they already are senior worthy for Olympics

 

[bigsisjiejie]

Beautiful skate from Shibs. Another one of those programs where I forgot I was watching a competition.

4th. I/K are still above the Germans overall, even though not in the FD. B/S have to be 4th so 4+9=13

Is there a rule that says every skater of Japanese descent has to skate to Memoirs of a Geisha? And a sibling team at that. #thatsracist #inappropriate
