2019 World Championships Pairs Short Program

Have we seen this many death spirals called basic this season? I can't figure out if this is just what has been happening or if the tech panel is being extra ruthless today.
 
Ziegler / Kiefer (AUT)

Tech: Tight on the catch on 3Twist (Basic), very good sbs 3Ts, strong rotation through the death spiral but Basic level, clean throw 3F, a little out of sync through spins but fairly well done, a little rocky on the edges from Kiefer (Level 2), gentle lift to end the program

Pres: A bit unstable on some of the elements but overall quite elegant and soft to match the tone of the music, Kiefer was just slightly unsteady on the edges today, good speed throughout

Score: TES 33.62, PCS 30.03, Total 63.65 (currently 2nd)
 
Very lovely short program from Ziegler and Kiefer. That wasn't one of their better twists though, which held them back score-wise.
 
I really enjoyed the Austrians' music and program. A very nice mood switch, different from all that came before. Miriam is very expressive with her movements, face and posture. Lovely.

Step sequence levels are low too, so I think they're being super strict.
