2014 Olympics Pairs Short Program

[WeakAnkles]

Well that was downright sassy from L/S. Shame about the tech glitches, because that was really fun to watch.

ETA: A SB for them. Yay!

OMG Paige you're too adorable.

SB for Canada #3. 58.97, between the Germans and Z/B.

The Frenchies are next!

Edit: way better than the Team Event!

Very nice skate, they seem happy. Could take a new PB, and should place 3rd for now

SP: 36.19+29.17 = 65.36 (PB), in 3rd (out of 12)

Most everything top notch for JAmes and Cipres except the ds where they buffed the change of hands. Great Lutz throw. Crowd loved it .

Thank you Doris! *kiss*

Damn, none of the Russian TV channels is showing the whole Pairs SP. *cries*

Thanks to this I found out you can watch every single Olympics event live on the TVP website. Sadly it's probably geo-blocked outside Poland:

I hope it's going to work decently and that nobody will be commentating.

it says "sprobuj za chwilę, materiał niedostępny " it means that it is geoblocked.

solid skate by the French couple. Very energetic.

More sass from the Frenchies! SO much better than the Team event, though that last spin almost petered out at one point. But a very good job overall. Will that beat C/S?

Close but no cigar! 65.36 and into 3rd!

65 plus SB behind Castelli and Shnapir. Who will be in top ten! Good for them

 

[Chemistry66]

I feel kind of bad because part of me wants someone to do badly enough that Austria makes the finals.

 

[gnom]

I so hoped for a different costume for S/S but that seems to be the same as in their former long program.

 

[Matilda]

I loved Vanessa and Morgan's skate! Well done!

 

[WeakAnkles]

Things are about to get VERY interesting...

 

[ARipp42014]

I don't know what blinds me more: Johnny's jacket, Aliona's costume, or Ondrej's banana pants?

Not much hope of that now. It would take some real doing... the 8 remaining teams are all very good and will get very high PCS.

 

[Chemistry66]

Holy hot pink, Aliona.

Can we put her with banana pants boy?

I was kind of hoping someone would say it before I did...

Crowd is very nationalistic. Very. Quite pressure on other skaters.
