51.64 for DM G
Austria
Severin & Keiffer

 

[ARipp42014]

The guy in the Austrian pair look a bit like Hotarek, though Ondrej is hotter!

 

[dorispulaski]

She's dressed in my high school gym suit, but with an orange collar. Very nice. They did their very best.
Score for s and k Austria
49.62

 

[Chemistry66]

Dave Brubeck music! <3

I think Ziegler/Kiefer look like a good physical match.

 

[WeakAnkles]

Miriam Ziegler looks like a gym teacher. All she's missing is a whistle for her "lanyard." Some really nice jumps though.

Robin Cousins is a joy to listen to.

ZIEGLER Miriam / KIEFER Severin (AUT)

Music: Thank You by Dave Brubeck; Unsquare Dance by Dave Brubeck

Both in white shirts w/red hems and black bottoms. He's in suspenders

2Tw
3S
Li
3STh
StSq
BiDs
PCoSp

Solid clean skate, they look very happy. Though somewhat low difficulty in both elements and choreo

SP: 28.36+21.26 = 49.62 (PB), in 2nd (out of 3)

 

[Chemistry66]

Considering she was in Vancouver as a singles skater, damn that was pretty.

 

[Frenchie]

Just opened it to see, and had no problems.

So, refresh the page between routines and it should fix it

Hope this helps

Thanks, but it's persistently not reacting. Shame, but I'll just take it as it is and switch to the German feed when it shows up.

 

[dorispulaski]

Peng and Zhang
Still has the partial braid

I have the same problem with the only stream that works for me, I'm basically listening to a radio commentary. Well' let's wait and see.

PENG Cheng / ZHANG Hao (CHN)

Music: Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon by Tan Dun

Both in green, aqua and blue costumes

3T - solid
BiDs - nice catch-foot variation
PCoSp
3Tw - great height
3LoTh - also nice
StSq
Li

Lovely skate, they made the difficult look easy. Should take the lead for some time.

SP: 40.89+29.70 = 70.59, in 1st (out of 4)

 

[dorispulaski]

P and z only mistake is tw3 will prob.ably not get top level because split off. Really pretty though.
70.59! PB!

 

[ARipp42014]

70.59! Deserved! :agree:

 

[WeakAnkles]

Peng and Zhang's PCS seemed a bit low for me. I thought it was really a lovely performance.

 

[gnom]

Great skate for Peng/Zhang. Perfectly simulanteous 3T - even in slow motion. Good lines & positions by her.
They have improved so much this season.
