2016 World Championships Pairs Free Skate

[Giselle]

Wow, 4th, 5th and 6th for the Russian Pairs! Who could have predicted that?

 

[TatiMax]

This is very sad I will try to sleep

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

Aahahahaahhahahah!!! Best comment EVER.

Aliona gets a bronze with a new partner at worlds. Dang it - she is the greatest pairs skater ever. SHE IS - horrible music and all.

[*in the voice of the Chanbashers*] Tatiana and Maxim should find a new jump coach. :sarcasm:

 

[whatif]

i think aliona and bruno should get a bronze because they simply deserve it, but i think the judges will give bronze to v/t because i don't know what(i like their skating but today was not enough imo).

Anyway big congrats to the winners. D/r are not exactly my cup of tea, last year i thought their components are too big, but this years win is totally deserved and i actually really liked them, which, as i'm not their fan, doesn't happen often. But they were great!

lol.

 

[rollerblade]

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

Exactly how did V/T prevented St/Kl from being on the podium? I think you're just looking for someone to blame.

This has really not been Russia's worlds has it?

No pressure on the women!

 

[icedinn]

Queen Aliona!!!
My hands are literally shaking. Her and Bruno have a great connection and they could only go up from here. SLAY! :hap57:

 

[Watermelondrea]

Interesting 1&2 are the same as last year!! Also, when will this trend end where skating clean automatically gives you mega PCS?

 

[Alchamei]

Bruno amd Aliona look so happy. At least something.

 

[daphenaxa]

well after disaster of yesterday, disaster today

 

[matcha]

S/H rightfully won in PCS

 

[Hyena]

Oh Tatiana and Max. It's so hard to see such an incredible pair be so far off the podium. If they had been at their best they could have even beat Meagan and Eric. The KnC was tough to watch, too. What was Max saying?

 

[andromache]

Favorites in men and pairs had disappointing LPs, surpassed by World Champions no one thought could repeat.

Queen Aliona has a medal in her first season with a new partner. I wonder if Robin is happy for her or bitter.

Mens and pairs final groups overall disappointing. This means the ladies will be amazing, right?

 

[Sackie]

V/T were way over scored in PCS for that skate and should have been behind both of the other Can teams overall. Lubov and Dylan should have been 6th over all for sure.

 

[Bumdid]

Now can the Russian Fed do justice to T/M since they're the only Russian team that's clean here?

 

[bartlebooth]

I bet Massot is all excited for the bronze, and Aljona will tell him that he can be happy with it just this once. She's not sticking around to collect more bronze, kapiert?

 

[glorybox6]

Aliona gets a bronze with a new partner at worlds. Dang it - she is the greatest pairs skater ever. SHE IS - horrible music and all.

After everything they went through, the biggest silver lining to this pretty rough pairs LP.

(And, I would add, the performances of Canada's #2 and 3 pairs.)

Canada and Russia deserve the three spots! We only need two spots anyway - our American pairs system needs an overhaul.
