2016 World Championships Pairs Free Skate

[nocturnalis]

Max is about beaten by Meagan and Tatiana is about to be beaten my Aliona? Lol!

 

[rollerblade]

V/T spins are kinda slow and not great today.

 

[moriel]

V/T look totally dejected already.

The audience is being supportive and nice

 

[gravy]

I can't WAIT for the onslaught of D/R haters.... hah, just kidding, D/R shuts them up once again. arty:

I'm curious to see what kind of schlock MaxSwagg will provide us.

I'm not a D&R fan, but that was an exquisite performance.

 

[ruffledgrouse]

And they travel on their y-spins, what's going on with them? Not normal

....that was rough.

 

[Jammers]

Winning an Olympic medal then trying to come back is so hard. I'm not sure how much they really wanted to come back.

 

[bartlebooth]

Duhamel gets ready to drive the stake through his heart.

 

[TatiMax]

They should just retire

 

[EdgeCall]

Omg this TES ... :hopelessness:

 

[Giselle]

TES so low

 

[daphenaxa]

Yikes, messy skate. Will they even medal?

[Bumdid]

We came here asking who's going to win between St/Kl and V/T and they both end up sinking...

 

[matcha]

omg... that was rough

 

[glorybox6]

Second lowest TES of the entire event. Holy ****.

 

[tulosai]

They really seemed to be fighting through that... I can't quite figure out the low TES though. I think this might be bad...

 

[Serious Business]

Jesus, what the hell happened? Tatiana and Max went from being the prohibitive favorite to not even going on the podium. A very slow, ponderous skate, too, where was their usual power and confidence?

 

[Krunchii]

Wow 54.75 tech, what a rough outing it's been for them, didn't expect this at all

 

[whatif]

I officially hate this competition. Seriously. The worst possible outcome ever.

Shoot me please.

As TAT says, don't forget that lately Russians have not being winning Worlds, In fact in the past ten year they only won once. Yet they never lose at the Olympics, as their strategy has always been gearing towards Olympics.

 

[bixby]

No Russian in the podium this time?
