2015 Worlds Pairs Short Program March 25

[s_parks]

Cheng Peng nailing her jumps in the warm-up. Let's hope she does the same in competition.

Oh man, hope that doesn't mean a spill in the skate. She's nailed those jumps in practice so many times, only to fall in the actual program.

 

[Alchamei]

She landed triple toe!

I do wish Meagan was more graceful. It's harder to be more graceful than the Russian pair ladies but she could be more graceful. But then I often watch gymnastics and think the same thing. If you do the technical you should get the marks but when I start thinking of performances like enjoy the most D/R are never my favourites. (and yes I'm Canadian)

I just accepted it as their style aka acrobatic as I call it

Pink dress / blue blouse, black pants

3T - ok, he bit forward
FiDs
3Tw - big!
3LoTh
3Li
StSq
FCCoSp3p - unison off in the end

Some small beauty marks, but overall solid

SP: 36.41+33.26 = 69.67, 3rd (out of 16)

 

[Alchamei]

They will be near by Sui/Han! She looked a littke bit off though.

 

[Sandpiper]

Wow, that was beautiful. Her lines, and the nuances... I'd still give it to S/H based on the 3F vs. 3Lo, but the judges will place P/Z ahead in PCS for sure.

 

[Alchamei]

69.67. These scores are so cloooose.

 

[ancientpeas]

I was sad after 2010 thinking I wouldn't see Shen/Zhao anymore so it's great to see him in the kiss and cry. I miss them so much.

 

[Meoima]

I thought they would get higher score than Sui Han.

 

[Sugarpova]

our commentator complimented that P/Z age diff not that visible rn
To me it still distracts a bit:hopelessness:


Roxanne again

 

[Alchamei]

Wobble on triple Salchow.

 

[Sackie]

A bit overmarked; I would have had them behind both Canadian teams. But I do like this team usually more than the inexperienced Canadians.

Have to agree with you there. For some reason USA teams always seem to get SB scores at worlds no matter how they skate.
Watch S/K get about a 65 or 66!

 

[Sophie-Anna]

Peng/Zhang are just beautiful. I love both of their programs. Choreography is very interesting.

Yeah, same. I don't agree with the pcs thing(personal preference ), but P/Z's style is more attractive to most.

Alexa SCIMECA / Chris KNIERIM (USA)

Black sparkly costumes

3Tw - great height

StSq
3FTh
FiDs

Few unison problems, but overall clean and solid

SP: 34.67+30.89 = 65.56 (SB), 5th (out of 17)

 

[Alchamei]

Do you know what's my problem with S/K? Their music. Too bad for them I always imagine Yuna while hearing it and they lacked her fire and elegance.

 

[Sugarpova]

erm .....
they're kinda unmemorable to me
her face expression though

 

[Alchamei]

65.56. Expected that.
