Even w the mistakes, that’s a strong TES so far! Gotta give it to them for going for the throw quad. Deanna is a BEAST. Skating in the time of Michelle Kwan as a singles skater, coming back 15+ years later in pairs. She is incredible!

Looks like 129

Will they continue? I would so love to see them continue for another quad...

 

[ozmodiar]

At least the throw quad was rotated. I hope they get 4CC.

I was not prepared to see Tim LeDuc holding a puppy it was cute overload :luv17::dance2:

I'm living for all of Terry Gannon's shade towards Johnny/Tara.

Nate is awesome and Deanna is a total BAMF.

What is a BAMF?

 

[slider11]

Wow, Deanna and Nate did great! They are so strong and well trained! Although I still lament the break up of Felicia and Nate, Deanna is really showing she belongs.

 

[labgoat]

Yeah first place, well deserved by 10 points.

 

[Chemistry66]

What is a BAMF?

The censoring is going to yell at me if I try to spell it out.

So just look here.

My homie Nate, my gal Deanna!:hap57:

The inflation here for S/B is through the roof.....they got 107 at Skate America, ok maybe they were 3 points better today, 110...NO 130! Meanwhile Castelli and tran pretty much get no inflation from their 118 for a similar quality skating in GPFrance. What in the world?

Nate is awesome and Deanna is a total BAMF.

Totally agreed! Deanna is my shero.

Hmmmm.... well I’m old enough and fuddy-duddy enough then to think it’s not a great acronym. But thanks for answering!

 

[synteis]

Gosh they look fast in this lift.

 

[kevinVchicago]

Ahh yes, Alexa and Chris in their Crown Royal outfits.

When is Stolbova coming?

 

[Tastetherainbow]

Ooh much much better for D/F in terms of choreography. Last time they look so lethargic, this time the opening was fierceeee. And they are actually skating with the music, love the intensity at the end.

Still so many issues with SBS jumps and spin, their nemesis(es?) but much improvement in terms of presentation. Curious to see their progress in the future.

 

[SorrySkater]

Denney/Frazier were a bit of a train wreck. Sad.

 

[labgoat]

Nice skate for D/F. I can see improvements in their skating but still liked Deanna & Nate more.

 

[TCAngel18]

I love D/F’s speed, attack and great lifts, but just too messy overall to go into first. Will they overtake Cain/Leduc?
