2016 World Championships Pairs Free Skate

[whatif]

So Aliona and Bruno are going to medal on their first year together? Good for them!! Although I'm sad it's at the expense of Tatiana and Maxim performing like this.

TBH, and that's IMO, St/Kl deserved it more. But V/T prevented that and now they tanked themselves.

Well, there went everyone's predictions out the window.

 

[Shayuki]

Almost 74 PCS for that, this is ridiculous.

 

[TatiMax]

There, there. We're always the toughest on the ones we love the most...

I am not tough I am real they need to retire they won every medal why make a satire of themselves

 

[Jammers]

Max bombed so he didn't have to be on the podium with D/R.

I didn't know they were injured that explains the season. So glad they are back already though! All our figure skaters need to understand that they cannot stay out of the mix for more than a year or two if they want to remain champions.

In love with how epic this program is, but nearly ending it on that painfully slow pairs spin is soooooo anticlimactic.

They missed out on GOE opportunities on the throws. I'm sad. But it's their first season back, they're injured, etc. I hope they're healthy next season.

D/R were the cleanest. Complain about the scores or whatever you want, but they deserve the win.

 

[tulosai]

Well I am sad for them.

 

[Sophie-Anna]

OMG!!!!!! Aliona has a medal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Happiest fan

 

[solani]

Haha, what would Worlds be without Aliona on the podium?
EDIT: 9 times World medallist!

 

[Florencito]

First time ever not in the top 2. That's rough.

 

[keasus]

Wish I could see the live feed! Congratulations to D/R and their fans! I am happy for you even though I do not enjoy their skating.

So sad for Alexa and her partner. What a disaster for US pairs figure skating. No pairs or mens titles in so long, second and way behind in dance, ladies still tba

Ah, I wouldn't use the margins in ice dance as an indication of anything other than questionable technical calling and bad judging.

 

[Bumdid]

Well, at least all my unexpected faves have podium in this competition

 

[gravy]

Aliona Savchenko has medaled at every event she has entered since the 2006-07 Grand Prix. :shocked:

 

[moriel]

Heartbroken.
Anna and Lena, please medal.

My lady Anna better do well because that's been a rotten two events in a row for me.

 

[desertskates]

Wow, what a podium! A couple of very nice surprises there

On that note, my predictions are totally in the toilet

 

[Lota]

I know this was completely not on purpose, but I lost it when they showed V/T's sad faces, and the cut to Meagan saying 'let's enjoy this'

 

[EdgeCall]

Well, congrats to D/R. Condolences to S/H, better luck next time. And kudos to S/M, first worlds medal (of how many?)!

 

[ruffledgrouse]

*Shot of V/T looking dejected, cut to Meagan in the green room* Meagan: Enjoy this! Let's enjoy this!

(I'm sure she was talking about being with Eric and their coach in first place, but the timing was just )
