[SarahSynchro]

Off topic: Bah, I’m trying to figure out how to get Bluetooth to turn on in windows 10. The speakers on my laptop are gawd awfully low at their maximum volume.

Anyone know if there's an ice resurface before the next group?

 

[Baron Vladimir]

Well that will hardly qualify Maybe they are a little bit tired after Team competition

 

[ruffledgrouse]

Three red blocks eek :hopelessness:

 

[SnowWhite]

This song has been ruined for me since watching Tessa and Scott...their connection is unmatched...and these people are supposed to be married!

Well to be fair, according to some french news paper, so are Tessa and Scott

And NBC is going away from skating again... "lots more skating coming." At least let us see the final two groups

 

[kevinVchicago]

Hmm, are Peng/Jin in perhaps?

Doubt it. Group 4 should qualify no matter what. But I'd be happy to be proven wrong!!!

 

[Chemistry66]

Anyone know if there's an ice resurface before the next group?

Yes. Every 2 groups. This is Group 4, so yes.

Scimeca Knierim / Knierim (USA)

Slightly rough landing on the triple twist but very high. A little step-out from him on the sbs 3T. Good rotation after the change foot in the spin. A slight hand-down from her on the throw 3F. Nice curves and edgework through the step sequence. Smooth lift with an interesting twist exist and a solid death spiral.

Not their best with slight errors on many of the major elements. I hope that doesn't take them out of the top 16, but those PCS should be high enough.

There are a few real life couples in pairs, that don't have a performance chemistry. V/M are in a class of their own, concerning chemistry. It almost feels indecent.

 

[ruffledgrouse]

Hmm, are Peng/Jin in perhaps?

Are they in?

 

[SarahSynchro]

Slay my Canadian BBs!!!

 

[silverfoxes]

She has that pageant queen plastered on smile that so many US skaters have...one of my biggest turnoffs

 

[GGFan]

They qualified. Not sure how but I'm glad

 

[Yatagarasu]

Are they in?

Nope. Alas.

 

[anonymoose_au]

LOL Alexa almost took Chris's head off on the Triple twist! He's OK though and she smiles.

Alexa looks so happy to be skating!

And LOL where's the kiss cam?!

(In all honesty though...did the Aussies get lowballed here? I feel like they did, but I don't understand scoring...but if they'd skated later would they'd have done better?)

 

[WeakAnkles]

Phew.

Big big phew. After everything Alexa went through, just PHEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW...
