2014 NHK Trophy Pairs Short Program 11/28

[satine]

She's 153cm...just over 5ft tall, why are they commenting on her size :$

Is she? I guess 5ft is considered titan-sized nowadays

 

[GF2445]

Love the classic 3Lz in the corner. Looks like you are backing your car out of the driveway

 

[GF2445]

Champion performance by two outstanding champions

Fantastic.

Yes, and Sinead Kerr for ice dance commentary while we are wishing More Scots please I miss Outlander:

Hey, don't forget: Sinead's Mum is Irish!

I vaguely remember Sinead doing commentary on Eurosport when she was out injured a few years ago. And she was absolutely brilliant!

So, I would love to see her as a regular member of the Eurosport team. Bring a female perspective to things.

But, I suppose it is a bit awkward with her living in America. There again, Chris lives in America...

Hate it when commentators call skaters "machines"

 

[satine]

"She does talk a lot, she doesn't stop talking" what an ironic comment from this commentator

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

How ironic - Joanne commenting about Megan talking a lot!

I wonder if that was a disguised point being made towards us...

"She does talk a lot, she doesn't stop talking" what an ironic comment from this commentator

I caught on to that too LOOL

 

[Scovies]

D/R's technical content is insane. I feel like the vocals are overpowering, but great skate.

 

[snowflake]

Hope Meagan and Eric will make my jaws dropped again with their superb 3Lz which is the best in the world.
I am sure Yuko and Sasha is going to get big 'welcome back!' and huge love from Japanese fans!
Mari has a Japanese origin IIRC. Hope this couple also gets some recognision here. :yes:

Good luck to Naru/Ryu! Good luck also to US's Simon and Russia's Vera, who are to skate with a new partner this season. Looking forward to seeing how their skating look on the ice differently for the better.
Especially after seeing Simon's partner's name, I feel 'obliged' myself to cheer for Leng/Shnapir I guess?

And they did Amazing skating again Hope you are there to see it,,, 72.70

 

[Hyena]

Way to go Megan and Eric! I'm really enjoying them this year.

 

[elee63]

Isn't it amazing to see such syncro on the spins for pairs with such difference in length in limbs? The lines stay parallel, and the speed is great, makes you wonder how much time and effort was put in practicing them over and over

 

[GF2445]

Same score as Skate Canada.

 

[nocturnalis]

Despite not caring for pairs, I really like D/R.

 

[elee63]

Same score as Skate Canada.

wow really?

 

[TMC]

Yes, and Sinead Kerr for ice dance commentary while we are wishing More Scots please I miss Outlander:

I tweeted at ESP asking about Hanretty. I really enjoyed his commentary and his accent

We just started watching Outlander, it's great!

 

[Sandpiper]

Regardless of my personal feelings about Duhamel/Radford, there's no denying their insane technical content. Definitely deserved to go in first. Kavaguti/Smirnov will really have to fight back in the free. (I hope they do!)
