One of the reasons why I like this team is their respect for each other and their coaches, they said in another interview how every pairs element requires equal work from each partner. I just hope they stay healthy and please keep it together at Nationals!^^^
Yet another example of why they're a good team together:
"Next, who is the leader in their pair, Sasha gives a diplomatic answer about how they started to skate together and how they support each other, aimimg on that they are equal, Nastya than jokingly adds that Tamara Nikolayevna is of course the leader."
Very cute.
Yes, I was glad to see that! It's a pet peeve of mine when people -- even knowledgeable commentators -- talk as if lifts, twists, or throws are the responsibility of one or the other. The women have to do their part in lifts, and throws aren't just a matter of the woman's landing it. Everything requires such exquisite cooperation and coordination with the partner.One of the reasons why I like this team is their respect for each other and their coaches, they said in another interview how every pairs element requires equal work from each partner.

Remember Peng/Jin scored nearly 217 at the GPF. If they show up with rotated 3S and add in home ice PCS advantage, they could score 225+ and win a medalI'm counting P/R completely out for the moment. They need more than one triple in their programs to be able to compete with the top-tier teams. They might get great GOE in their pair elements, but it's not going to make up for the deficit of underrotated triples or doubles--S/H are here to tell you that, and they are World Champions and Olympics medallists.
On the other hand, besides the three russians and S/H, I think the top is not that crowded. The podium will most likely be one chinese and two russians, I don't see any other international team making a case for themselves at the moment. Maybe Knierim/Frazier if clean. Definitely not any other american or canadian team. And then, who else? The podium in pairs is pretty much set. But sending in a third russian team with good chances of podium, could give Russia more options. And P/R are definitely not that.
It is possible, for sure. But they scored that three years ago. In the current climate, they need to be really clean to win a medal, and still count on other's mistakes. I don't think they're going to score 225 anytime soon, but I wouldn't be willing to bet on that.Remember Peng/Jin scored nearly 217 at the GPF.

It was in the absense of Wenjing Sui and Cong Han. They got their points as Chinese team #1. When they compete together Pen/Jing scoring is lower.Remember Peng/Jin scored nearly 217 at the GPF. If they show up with rotated 3S and add in home ice PCS advantage, they could score 225+ and win a medal
Does anyone know what they are saying in the mini-interview at the end? I
Yes, of course.Does anyone know what they are saying in the mini-interview at the end?
If there’s any event where judges will be inclined to score them highly, it will be at a home Olympic Games.It was in the absense of Wenjing Sui and Cong Han. They got their points as Chinese team #1. When they compete together Pen/Jing scoring is lower.
Definitely. But I still think they'd need one of the top 2 russians to falter in order to make the podium. B/K and M/G aren't unbeatable, but they have more scoring potential than P/J.If there’s any event where judges will be inclined to score them highly, it will be at a home Olympic Games.
Yes, of course.
Q: Guys. What did you lose on the ice?
AG: I went for the scarf. But thanks to the arena workers, they picked it up and laid on a chair for me not to run back. But who knew it…
Q: Tamara Nikolaevna Moskvina asked Anya Shcherbakova to switch for the pairs. Don’t you want to switch for singles in that case, Nastya?
AG: No way, I won’t let her go.
AM: I’m afraid, no. They won’t accept me.
Q: And if Eteri Geogrievna asks?
AM: Then, forgive me, Sasha.
G: Only after my death.
Q: The World Team Trophy is ahead. Will you be able to add the gold there to your WC gold?
AG: Now we are going to continue preparation and there we will show everything and you will see.
Q: We will root for you. Thank you.
AM &AG: Thank you.
I agree there, given the base value difference with M/G in particular. They need the jumps, and/or they need things to become as messy as the Torino GPF.Definitely. But I still think they'd need one of the top 2 russians to falter in order to make the podium. B/K and M/G aren't unbeatable, but they have more scoring potential than P/J.
