I've been close to nodding off while watching, I've got to take a short nap before the ladies' FS.
I wonder how many more couple arguments are going to result when they are marking them separately. I one gets a 4 and the other a 1 that is going to be a ugly conversation.
I’m unable to watch any of today’s events but I gotta say Dorris is nailing this PBP. Each time I check in I’m amazed
Just saw Ushakova / Nekrasov now. I have weak spot for those two since Junior Worlds. I liked their choreo and I'm glad they continue with their little extraordinary attitude, even if that is it's too much for someone. Not to mention their technical skills, which are amazing. I think they received highest score for RD this season.
Technically they're amazing. But the music cuts are so jumpy and the program is so uhm angular and determined to wow you with all its tricks that it just freezes out any emotional connection with the audience. Admiration is not affection.
I've been out, so only got to see the Browns based on Doris commentary (YAY!) and wow, I can't believe the polish and expression they already have at 13 and 15. They definitely need more power and speed, but so impressive for them to get in the final group at their very first JGP!
Also, it's nice to see a sibling team not be intimidated by expressing themselves in the tango. I think the tension of power worked for them here.
PS -- here's a close-up video of them practicing in Lake Placid a few months back!

Mrs. P, Thanks for the video! And..have you found a new sibling team to replace Shibsibs when they retire?
So I'm going to complain now: Why did the ISU have to give Tango to both Jrs and Seniors in the same season? I love tangos but I'm going to be so sick of them by the end of the season. Why not give a different pattern to jrs? I think the jrs would really enjoy blues/hiphop.
Are the American really 13/15?
Ice Dance, I have never before heard of the Brown's coach, Mr. Lawrik. Do you know anything about him?
