okay, starting praying circle for clear Manfred

 

[andromache]

They should always do classical,
Whenever they try even non classical movements it's apparent that she moves like a girl and he moves like a dad

Are there any father/daughter movie soundtracks out there that they could skate to?

 

[Layback11]

Yulia sighting! :dance2:

 

[Mista Ekko]

Cmon K\S, Let's see if they can recreate some of the COC magic

 

[TheGrandSophy]

I love Zhang Hao's smiley attitude so much. And Marinaro needs to consult with him about lifts...

BESP making good point about the lack of training time and more time in planes instead.

If they just show the stomp this time, i'll be happy already.

 

[Sugarpova]

now everyone!!!!!!!!!!!1

 

[Violet Bliss]

4twist was more like 3 and a half? are they getting credit for it?

It looks like he caught her too early.

They have had no rest or practice since TEB. I think they will do better next time.

Let's not go there

Uuugh. I'm praying for Yuko's hips after those quads.

 

[Layback11]

Yuko looks so fragile on the ice...it's scary to watch her jump. I keep thinking her legs are going to snap when she lands or something. :hopelessness:

 

[sunnystars]

that final lift kinda scared me....

Mistakes on both quad throws, otherwise solid. Enough for the lead for now

FS: 67.50+69.82-1.00 = 136.32, 208.02, 1/7

 

[Mista Ekko]

Smirnov is strong

He won't drop her even if he's shaking a bit

 

[QuadThrow]

Will to be enough for the win. S/K looked so strong

 

[andromache]

That last lift position is .

I'm sad about the mistake, but I love this program to death. No other pair in the world could do this program. Thank you drama king Smirnov!

 

[Bumdid]

I always think they're going to splat whenever they perform for some reason.

 

[tulosai]

Most important: The stomp is back!

Last lift a bit scary and lots of small issues. TES still quite high but basically this is S/K's to take if they can go clean or even cleanish.

Wish K/S win!
