Wow, third. D/R will have to bring it in the free if they want that Hometown Glory

LOL. How long have you been waiting to whip that pun out!?

The 5 point difference between D/R and Y/J in PCS is... :scowl:

 

[lost3iron]

Megan looked scared from the beginning.

 

[Tastetherainbow]

I'm pretty sure since D/R skates before the Russians tomorrow they will definitely put the pressure on them... the difference isn't too great so catching up should be easy.

 

[TMC]

Seguin/Bilodeau with the highest TES of the night

I love them so much

 

[caitie]

Why did BESP think this would lead? The scores here have made sense tonight. I think S/K's seems a little high for doing 3Ts with an error on the landing but she covered it well, so w/e.

 

[QuadThrow]

I have to have a look on the protocols.

How D/R can get 72.64 with a shaky Lz and a fall an the LzTh.?

 

[daphenaxa]

I don't think they deserved to be that close to the 2 Russian pairs

 

[Silvia451]

I'm sorry for D/R, but so happy for S/K. Maybe it's time for Ksenia and Fedor to change the forever-silver into gold.

BV, plus good other elements? K/S's last spin was REALLY slow and didn't look great.

 

[deedee1]

I pretty much enjoyed the first group as 'programs'. Second group's music are just ...... for me.

 

[cathlen]

Happy for Ksenia & Fedor :luv17: Congrats to S/B, they were better Canadian pair for me this evening

 

[Sam-Skwantch]

Does Yuko have social media? She looked ready to erupt in the KnC.

 

[koatcue]

Liked Stolbova/Klimov. Their short is the best this season.

 

[NoNameFace]

A real highlight as many of you are pointing are Julianne and Charlie - perfect, bubbly program they sell well, amazing technique, super consistent, extra engaged in performance, her cat landings and his adorable charm and smile, they have it all!!!

Yuko and Alexander were hands down the best - the charisma, chemistry, engagement, selling the program, supportive attitude and strong tech side, already starting praying circle for clear Manfred tomorrow (I know I'm crazy)

Brit guys are jinxing Yuzuru sooo badly :hopelessness:

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

That's rough.

Meagan and Eric's scores hadn't even disappeared from the screen before Eurosport cut to adverts.

They didn't even get to show us the score table.

Hang on, they're showing the scores now that the adverts are over.

Now onto Mura at the NHK.

Duhamel and Radford were somehow simultaneously sloppy and cautious, and that throw went very badly wrong. I like the program (and them!) but it wasn't their best and I'm glad they're behind Kavaguti and Smirnow, who were superb.

The scores are pretty close here, less than a four point spread between first and fourth and a similar gap between sixth and fourth. The free skate should be exciting!
