2017 JGP Belarus Pairs Short Program

They were fast. The fastest team on the field. A bit slow stsq. But let's wait the FP.

Are you going to admit here that you know nothing if they win the competition?

this is a very tempting offer... but... NO WAY!

Well, it would be the honest thing, considering how certain you felt that they should be the ones to be replaced.

A very entertaing SP, it's all very close going into the free. Very impressed with 3 Russsian, their basics are a level above the rest of the field. Personally I would have P/K in the lead followed by P/S. The choreo of P/K was lovely, do they have triples? I like the teams from Perm but their jumps are an issue. The Americans skated very well, they really skated to the music, loved their exit from the jump. The Chinese were good but need to work on the PCS side of things.

Time to watch the free live now. Hope everyone skates well

So... Now I don't even need to do this! They're second! :taunt:

They left in the list the average pair without triple jumps (Anastasia POLUIANOVA / Dmitry SOPOT), but removed the pair with them. What a shame.

I am pretty cetain I saw triple in their FS!

Oh, you don't have to do anything, but maybe this experience has taught you to give a newly created pair a chance, rather than deciding that they are rubbish before you have even seen them competing at least once. I would understand if you were questioning why a pair who has a track record of not delivering got their event, (e.g. Akhanteva/Kolesov). But questioning a pair you have never seen compete...come on, that is unfair towards the skaters.
