2018 Olympic Figure Skating Pairs SP

[Dr. Jenn]

Darn! What a shame about the SBS for Michael. Everything else was done well. I hope that they will make it through!

MT/M 2.0 have come a far way. On this night they really couldn't afford that mistake though (props to the pairs for bringing it). Crossing my fingers for them as the free is better than the short

 

[ruffledgrouse]

Yeah I needed a sexy veersion of Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This) in my life.

The original was already pretty sexy....

TES above Peng/Jin but below Conners/Krasnopolski. ANother nailbiter. P/J COULD be in.

 

[kevinVchicago]

34 TES, yes they will be in.

 

[Yatagarasu]

Well in the team event? They do have a quad too.

They are gold medal contenders only in NBC' dreams.

 

[LittleLotte29]

She is gorgeous and so is Kirsten Moore Towers. Their dresses are stunning!

Totally on a shallow note, I think Alexa is the pretties girl out there.

OMG, how I wish Alexa and Chris were gold medal contenders...

 

[chopinskate]

The original was already pretty sexy....

It had a cooler vibe.

 

[SarahSynchro]

NOt bad, not bad.... those lifts still scare me though.

OMG, how I wish Alexa and Chris were gold medal contenders...

I totally agree. On both points

 

[GGFan]

Belinda (the commentator): "they're both 25. they could go on for another 4 years."

Me: Belinda, they better go on for another 4 years since that was the whole premise of this partnership

I had completely forgotten that Kristen placed so high with Dylan in 2014. I wonder what happened to their partnership because they were so promising.

 

[readernick]

NBC commenters are saying the Kneirems are gold medal contenders.

I really wish they wouldn't blatantly lie to the audience. They're just setting up less knowledgeable viewers up for disappointment and anger.

That is a bit rich. Perhaps, long shot hope for a bronze medal if there are a lot of falls.

Moore-Towers / Marinaro (CAN)

Nice ice coverage on the triple twist and a squeaky clean throw 3Lo. Only a 2T from Marinaro on the side-by-side with a hand down. Good flow in the step sequence and a wonderful Bobrova-like dismount on the lift. And a fairly strong combo spin with fast and centered positions.

Artistically, I liked the end of the program with the more dramatic music than the first half. I felt like the step sequence and technical elements didn't emphasize much, though they had good power and flow. That popped jump is going to hurt.

 

[kevinVchicago]

31.22 PCS for M/M-T, not because they deserved it in my opinion but because they are in the 4th group. [emoji850]

 

[SarahSynchro]

Oooh, here comes swan goddess Yu.

 

[WeakAnkles]

Close to a season's best for that.

Well ok.

I'm sure my eyes will drop again in a few minutes.

Queen of solo pairs Xiaoyu. :luv17:
