This music was so depressing...

I love how all the coaches for USA pairs are those nerdy hot af men. First mr Peterson, now that guy with Weinstein/Simon.
Well done

There's my children!!!

Oh! I don't like the way Martin reached down to his leg a few moments after throwing Anna.

Let's hope it was just an itch!

[Tyranid]

Oh jesus christ, 2 mistakes, shaky throw and double?? sbs...

 

[Reynnou]

But, forgive me if this sounds a bit inappropriate, but has Renata developed a chest since we last saw her and Mark before Christmas?

The reason I bring it up is that I wanted to say that I really hope puberty does not adversely affect her skating, because I really like this couple.

I think she did grew up a bit but so far she seems not too affected by it. They were at the bavarian open last month and they beat their PB both in the short and long program.

 

[Giselle]

That was rough...

 

[cathlen]

well, they can redeem themsleves in FP. Go Anna & Martin!

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

EIGHTH???!!!

I would never have predicted they would be that low after their SP.

With 3 to go, they could end up outside the Top 10 going into the FS.

ALL THE BEST ANNA AND MARTIN!!!

Well, congrats--your "children" did very well!! Nice parenting job. :agree:

 

[TMC]

Well done

50% of why I watch skating is for Mr Peterson sightings

 

[cathlen]

Yesssss They did great

 

[Giselle]

Duskova/Bidar for the lead

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

LOVE THIS PAIR!!!!!!!!!!

I know I'm biased, but for me that was the best so far by a good distance!!!

WELL DONE!!!

New SB :hap93: Their score is actually better than a lot of senior pairs!

 

[MsLiinaLii]

Oh, I am so sad Atakhsnova/Spiridonov are not competing

I love it when smaller federations do well! Shows that you don't have to come from bigger nations to do well!
