Poor Lina She looks so upset.

Okay... who smudged the camera?

- - - Updated - - -

I saw that too. Someone needs to wash their hands.

 

[WeakAnkles]

It looks like the cameraperson got paint smudges on the lens. This event is just Amateur Hour tech-wise.

 

[anonymoose_au]

Nope..no bumblebees. Sparkly bumblebees would be best.

Hey now it was polka-dots! Polka-dots are fun! (I hope T/M have some really good costumes this season, they deserve them)

Ashley and Timothy look really amazing! I like this music

 

[Ichatdelune]

Wow, C/L's SBS jumps are spot on. Especially that 3Lo.

 

[Princessroja]

That was quite the save on that second throw. Did they abort a lift? Looked like they slowed way down and she came down rather ungracefully.

 

[ancientpeas]

So I take it none of us are rushing out to see Bonnie and Clyde the musical?

 

[WeakAnkles]

I haven't seen C/L's long before this and goodness they're like a whole new team. Definitely the class of the field.

It needs polish polish polish and they need to clean up exits out of their tricks, but I'm impressed at how much they're really starting to gel as a TEAM. Good job.

 

[ancientpeas]

There has to be something between ACI's no score board and this scoreboard with no highlights from the program or even kiss and cry?

I'd love to but I simply MUST alphabetize my spice rack.

Priorities!

 

[ancientpeas]

Short day for this competition. Tomorrow is packed.

 

[Princessroja]

Free skate scores for Deanna and Nate vs Ashley and Tim are almost identical, like half a point different.

 

[SnowWhite]

So S/B win the FS, but C/L win overall.

ETA: nope, actually C/L win the FS but super close

 

[dorispulaski]

I take it we are about to see US pairs finish one-two in an international event. I don't think that has happened in a long, long time.

The Knierims better look out, and fix their jumps, is all I can say.

Means a potential battle at US nationals.

 

[NoNameFace]

Ashley and Tim were amazing, they really exude individualism, but it works for them, very elegant program that makes great use of their long-limbed bodies, Tim's extensions are everything and that 2nd throw save just rocked! I love that they wanted it, the engagement and support from coach by the boards

 

[ancientpeas]

meanwhile ACI has a packed Friday.

 

[ancientpeas]

Hopefully no one forgot the US national anthem

 

[dorispulaski]

Probably they did not get a copy! Who expected this?

Nate and Deanna and Timothy and Ashley may just have to sing it a capella.

 

[ancientpeas]

Deanna is me! She immediately read the piece of paper she was handed. I do that too. Forget everything else..read the paper!
