2013 Worlds Ice Dance Short Dance SD

Definitely rolleyes. I would have had V/M more like 8.5 - 9.0 for this effort.

2.75 for Zoueva's uninspired, recycled, lazy CH. ;P

Pechalat and Bourzat were delightfully saucy. Loved all the skirt lifting. Wish they did more of it! And Nathalie seems to have her bust strapped down, which is pretty antithetical to the can can. :disapp:

That was way over-scored!

P&B ahead of W&P is simply disgusting. Shameful judging.

 

[bramweld]

P/B not in a good shape.

I predict both Russian teams are going to beat them.

I hope they do but they are going to have to skate lights out for it

Aaaaaand out goes the Canadian conspiracy theory.

Looks like Pasquale was kinda shocked by P/B's scores. Definitely way too high in my opinion. Must be hard for him considering he coaches both teams.

 

[jan]

In the slow motion replay they were way off, on the wrong edges...he should be shocked at the scores.

Nathalie's another cemented-to-the-ice skater tonight. This wasn't as bad as some are making it out to be, but it wasn't really crisp or sharp and just well...boring.

Not like W/P had a perfect performance. They made mistakes and their program was nicely presented but quite empty.

 

[aftertherain]

I want Anna's red bolero.

Yes, the slo mo shows more sins on this.

 

[Serious Business]

Skirt-lifting gets you all the scores!

 

[swurvestar]

LOVE the British commentators. CLEAN HER BOOTS!!!

 

[bigsisjiejie]

Looks like the panel/judges are desperate to keep P/B positioned for that bronze.

 

[bigsisjiejie]

I'm no dance expert, but C/L's dance looked much better than both W/P and P/B.

 

[jan]

I think they will need oxygen tanks to get through their long!

Why hasn't USFS retired Shibs, yet? Come on, there's so many interesting US teams and the judges seem to love H/D so why prolong our misery?

 

[A.H.Black]

Before anyone else gets started. I really liked the Shibutani's dance. I like their skating. I have liked them since I saw them at the novice level. I hope they do very well.

I predict that is coming next year. They will be dropped off the U.S Olympic team in favor of Hubbel & Donahue.
