Beautiful Level 4 lift from the Canadians! Nice energy from both, too.

Whew, no ROOOOOOOOOOXAAANE to haunt my night. But my eyelids are getting heavy, help

The Italian team might not have been happy with their score, but I'm pretty sure they'll lead after this group and make the FS. That's something to be proud of!

It's pretty cruddy of the ISU to exclude ONE team from the FS. Heartless grumble grumble grumble.

They need more pins. In strategic locations. I'd say their hearts, but I am not sure they have any.

Beautiful Level 4 lift from the Canadians! Nice energy from both, too.

Definitely the least scary lift we have seen yet.

 

[elektra blue]

vivienne and marco are still leading!

Well hello Sarabande Suite

 

[SnowWhite]

Beautiful Level 4 lift from the Canadians! Nice energy from both, too.

Lifts are definitely their strong suit. I've seen them do a very nice one foot lift as well.

Could use more expression, but overall strong skate

[oly2018]

Really solid skate from the Israeli team. They could make a solid senior team for Israel because if I remember correctly, the team that skated at the Olympics split.

 

[skylark]

I liked Hailey and Artem a lot! They're a little older than the previous pairs, and it shows in their skating, IMO.

 

[s_parks]

Happy they got a PB, by quite a few points, too. Looking forward to their progress.

 

[elektra blue]

good job for the ucrainians! :clapper:

 

[WeakAnkles]

Am I the only one to notice that the camera people always feature at least one closeup of the female but none of the male so far?

Really, did they hire a local high school video club to shoot this?

Random confession: I don't like BO death spirals, they always look awkward to my eyes

You know what looks awkward? FO death spirals.

Then let's just say I prefer inside death spirals
