2017 Worlds Pairs SP

[Lota]

They are only the 4th team to receive deductions here, which is really telling of the level of this competition.

 

[EdgeCall]

Performance aside, I think there should be a prize of some kind for the composition of a program alone. Music, choreo, dresses etc. taken together. My favs this season would be J/C.

First Laurine, then Vanessa...
I want this French trend of scary splats to stop.

 

[kevinVchicago]

Vanessa looks really nice! Did she change her hairstyle?

Yeah it's pinned differently. Looks really nice

 

[zschultz1986]

Damn! I hope the judges don't hit them too hard. They make watching pairs bearable for me right now.

 

[tulosai]

There was something off in the catch... and she might have hit a rut?

Yeah it just looked like a really weird freak occurrence to me. She caught a rut I think. I don't think having watched the replay that he pushed her or that was the issue at all- something was off with her landing foot.

 

[nolangoh]

gosh.... did he just throw her backwards too roughly on the landing of the twist? i fear a fight in the KnC

Yah I feel so too, that was a big push from him during the exit

 

[CanadianSkaterGuy]

Glad she's okay, and that was still a sizzling program.

 

[andromache]

I thought John Zimmerman was supposed to shave his head since they medaled at Euros.

 

[Tastetherainbow]

Seems like there will be plenty of surprises waiting... top pairs =/= safe... sigh.

This will probably motivate them to be even better in the FS.

 

[Crossover]

My stream was frozen. I hope Vanessa is okay. The fall was scary.

 

[tulosai]

Holy GOD that score is HUGE considering... WOW.

 

[CanadianSkaterGuy]

Dayum, that's a good score for that bad a fall... they are not entirely out of the medal hunt if they skate like at Euros!

 

[Mirunna]

Nice score! It must be encouraging for them. They are finally aknowledged as top tier

 

[zschultz1986]

Yah I feel so too, that was a big push from him during the exit

The push wouldn't have mattered if she had her balance. It was just a fluke of a fall, and they should brush it off. No ones fault, and they performed the hell out of the rest of the program.

Oh, poor Laurine... I want to cry again.

 

[apgold]

Go Alexa and Chris!

 

[Tastetherainbow]

Positive thing: they now know they are solidly in the "70+ even with mistakes" club.

 

[Osmond4gold]

Vanessa so beautiful...move back to Canada, anytime. We love you!

 

[Violet Bliss]

They are supposed to push apart from each other after the twist, but probably Vanessa was off balance.

Reflective of their relationship?

A good performance though.

Hmm, the couple counseling has worked well.
