2013 Worlds - Pairs SP

[Mirunna]

S/S side by side 3T was a bit iffy but I think the speed and overall presentation was the best this season for them

EDIT: no hands down on the 3T from Robin. He saved that one

 

[Ziggy]

Savchenko/Szolkowy were clean but I am 99% sure it won't be good enough.

 

[Art&Sport]

Love Aliona and Robin -- glad they freshened up their costumes.

Their sp is good, but they've had problems with fp all season. However, V/T have had problems with the crap they've been skating to as well, but they still get high scores.

ETA:

Robin and Aliona sp score about where I expected somewhat -- a little higher than their season best. Didn't V/T get somewhere near 77 this season?

 

[Mirunna]

Savchenko/Szolkowy were clean but I am 99% sure it won't be good enough.

I sadly agree with you

 

[Ziggy]

Can Aliona please leave the costume design to somebody who knows what they are doing?

Their Pina costumes were stunning though.
Stefania fell and they skated so well this seasom

 

[bigsisjiejie]

Berton/Hotarek such a good looking couple but the fall and some minor sync and sloppiness problems won't help in this field.

Stefania BERTON / Ondrej HOTAREK (ITA)

Music: Paint It Black by The Rolling Stones

3T - she fell
3Tw
3LoTh - low, but clean
Li
StSq
BoDs
FCCoSp - unison ok

Shame about the fall, she looks disappointed - he's more relaxed about it.

SP: 31.56 + 28.51 - 1.00 = 59.07
In 4th (out of 13)

 

[Mirunna]

The skating is amazing so far, especially compared with last year pairs SP.

 

[Ziggy]

Smirnov looking even more orange than usual.

I agree, the level is fantastic.

 

[Art&Sport]

Stefania and Ondrej were sure looking relieved at their generous score, but yeah the judges know they can do better and they are from Italy too. I didn't notice -- what was Berton/ Hotarek SB?

 

[sequinsgalore]

Yuko KAVAGUTI / Alexander SMIRNOV (RUS)

Music: The Blue Danube by Johann Strauss

3Tw - low catch as usual
3T
3LoTh
BoDs
FCCoSp
Li
StSq

Strong clean skate, they both look happy. Though I'm a bit tired seeing them skating to this music...

SP: 37.09 + 32.98 = 69.98 (SB)
In 2nd (out of 14)

OOOH, I loved K/S program. Great performance. I know it's unfashionable to say so, but I still prefer them to Bazarova/Larionov. Hope they don't get dissed by the judges.

64. So 59 is not that over-scored IMO.
Yuko and Sasha were clean

64.28 from Euros 2013

 

[3T3T]

That's the best skate I have seen from K/S in a long time, hope it scores well. My stream froze for the triple twist, I hope it was clean. I preferred the Canadians to the Germans.

ETA - 69.98 and into second. Their best short score for a long long time. They should be a lot closer to S/S, did the really deserve 73+

 

[LRK]

K/S were just wonderful... I do love them.

 

[sky_fly20]

If that will Not be ahead of MT/M then goodbye K/S
ETA: just ahead by a hair ??? they are being dumped

 

[Art&Sport]

64. So 59 is not that over-scored IMO.
...

Yeah, re Stefania and Ondrej, like I said, the judges know they can do better. Personally, I like Vanessa and Morgan more than B/ H.

 

[ranjake]

Thank you soooo much! This was WONDERFUL!
