Did Stefania Berton stop skating to coach? I really liked her aura, saw her live once with Hotarek. They were great together and she wasn't that old....mmmh...

He dumped her, to put it bluntly.

K/S...I'm not sure, but I think their best days are long over.

I hope you are wrong

Nice to see this pair relatively healthy finally. Cheer up, Brendan! Look how happy Haven is

 

[glorybox6]

D/F are representing U.S. pairs well -- good for them for getting into the final group (most likely).

 

[Crossover]

They are a future of US pairs. Well done...considering that they skate here just one week after Skate America.

 

[Lota]

BTW, Zhang the creepy old man is younger than Trankov.

Yeah, but Tania isn't barely out of her teens

 

[Ares]

Jeez that Don Juan music was so nauseating for me to listen I checked where it comes from and it indeed does come from some musical that I dread. Why most of those musical pieces sound the same to my ears I like though how they skated

 

[ruffledgrouse]

I don't know this pair, but I approve of their music choice :agree:

 

[glorybox6]

I'm getting musical whiplash between these last two pairs, lol

 

[Mrs. P]

Take me back to the '90s!! THis is like high school jams for me.

 

[WeakAnkles]

Frazier is no Don Juan (a very strange music choice), but that was much improved from last time.

 

[Yatagarasu]

Take me back to the start..

 

[Mrs. P]

A little bit of trivia for those who do not know-- Joshua Reagan is Ashley Cain's former pairs partner.

Today, the day of unfortunate truths in pairs skating? Wth?

One thing I like about pairs is that they really embraced the vocal rule and use more modern music than the single skaters.

"2 minutes and 40 seconds seem a long time sometimes" #figureskatingphenomenon

 

[Lota]

Great music selection, subpar performance, but still quite liked them! :agree:

 

[silverfoxes]

What did that music have to do with their skating, though?

They have ZERO connection to each other; it's like they barely acknowledge this a pair's event. She could use some more extension and if she would take a little more time to finish her moves and positions, it would make them look so much more polished. Not particularly impressed by them to be honest.
