Beautiful. Simply beautiful.

Such a pity they were down in 4th after the SP. They could have won this.

And speaking of beautiful, how does Pang Qing stay so young looking?!

I wonder what went wrong (regarding levels, likely, and the UR salchow) in S/H's skate that their TES dropped even below P/Z, who had a fall, a pop, and easier throws? It's not like S/H poorly completed their elements, either.

Nice ending.

 

[rain]

I agree!!
Possibility/Probability that she didn't want to leave the Wirtz camp.. and Tran was/is in Montreal & going to school IIRC
Marinaro nice guy but I agree lots of technical issues especially with lifts.. with his last partner at Jr Worlds.. scary

I honestly can't imagine why you'd turn down the opportunity to skate with a world medalist. Maybe they were a terrible personality match.

Oh My Goodness. . . Breathtaking!!!

Sweeping, lyrical, romantic, expressive, soulful!

You just said what I wanted to say.
I don't mind the score at all

 

[ruffledgrouse]

Do you mean Shen/Zhao? I don't recall Pang/Tong skating to Turandot -- Shen/Zhao did in 2002 and 2003.

...yes. That's who I meant.... :hopelessness:

 

[Mrs. P]

Wow p/t got 3rd by just a little over a point.

 

[Alchamei]

Don't care about the mistakes. Just love them.

No they are friends so it wasn't that. IMO it was just another bad choice in a series of bad choices made by Kirsten. I do not wish her ill and defend absolutely her right to make those choices,but that doesn't mean I can't call them what they objectively seem to be: stupid.

P/T medal!!! I am soooo happy!!

 

[blue_idealist]

I'm surprised to see them on the podium ahead of S/H but that's cool.

Kind of what I was thinking.

Pang/Tong though...
Easily my favorite performance of the night

 

[Alchamei]

WHAT? THEY ARE THIRD! YEEES! :shocked:

 

[WeakAnkles]

Classy elegance never goes out of style.

 

[GF2445]

Judges dod the right thing by placing them third. Hope a miracle will happen at worlds.

 

[Scovies]

Okay, I love them, but I feel like Sui/Han got hosed here.

Also wondering about that. I'm not their biggest fan, but it seemed rather weird.

 

[tulosai]

Yay a medal for P/T

 

[GF2445]

Second in the free for pang and tong #winning

Glad P/T medaled and their FS was lovely, but that was totally a reputation medal.

No successful side-by-side jumping passes in SP+LP. And PCS that were pretty close to personal bests for them (which shouldn't be given for programs with errors).
