Yu / Zhang

Ouch, a fall from Yu on the opening sbs 3S (might be <). Humongous 3Twist! A bit low from Yu on the 3T+2T, with the 2T looking fully downgraded from her. Nice lift transition out of the death spiral, right into a decent combo spin. Good reverse lift. Wonderful throw 3Lo but a split fall (ouch!) on the throw 3S. Fairly good sync on the sbs spin except for the last part. A little unstable in the last lift, but a better hip lift. And a high kick on that landing from Zhang in the ending pose, lol.

Unfortunately, those jump mistakes from Yu flattened the energy right from the start of the performance. If they had made the rotation, the Star Wars melodies would have carried them through. A very uncharacteristic fall on the throw 3S too. This might put them in 8th place overall, perhaps lower.

Yu/Zhang's pics look like mug shots while James/Cipres' look like fashion shoots.

[Mista Ekko]

Butt or knees didn't touch the ice.

Yeah there's a benefit of the doubt there, But not on her popping her SBS jump

 

[kevinVchicago]

Worst I've ever seen Y/Z.

Not that they don't deserve the score necessarily,
But rather that the Italians had an all around better competition
And i love the French

But people seem to forget that there is quality of elements + Skating skills and on that J/C are quite far ahead the Italians. And the 4ThS ? Huge score, just HUGE BV

Totally justified for me... That's why if a D/R or T/M mess up they'll score higher

Now why isn't Vanessa's fall on the throw quad called a fall? Come on! Not the "judges did not have the proper angle" excuse again.

According to Kristi Yamaguchi, unless your butt touches the ice, it wasn't a fall.

Quads have always had an effect on PCS... Still, this is not the performance J/C wanted to make top 5 with...

 

[SarahSynchro]

[Mista Ekko]

Good luck to everyone!!

 

[Harriet]

Butt or knees didn't touch the ice.

And they might have assessed that her weight didn't transfer fully to her hands.

 

[GGFan]

Butt or knees didn't touch the ice.

The Yamaguchi 1992 Rule

 

[LittleLotte29]

Last group on the ice!

 

[Baron Vladimir]

Vanessa seemed ashamed of that overscore

Well, i was saying after the Euro how judges are loving them. They didnt give them a medal then but it was obvious they wanted to... (i still dont know how many GS posters happened to have different impression back then)...

 

[s_parks]

Looking at the pcs, S/B were robbed, man. Idk if it's just the effects of these messy skates that makes me think this way...

 

[Bumdid]

Ugh. Final group. Here we goooo

 

[Nika09]

Not ready for the last group after all...
