This is definitely the competition to fall on.

Even with the fall, still one of my favorite pairs programs ever and I'm SO glad they kept it! Looked like he had an issue with the first spin position too.

May I offer a contrary opinion? I absolutely loved this program the first time I saw it, but it is starting to grate on me—haven’t liked it nearly as much on subsequent viewings. JMHO.

Looking forward to see Laura and Marco again

I fell asleep but I dreamed that one team came out in a monkey costume skating to If You Could See Her from Cabaret.

I kind of agree - it doesn't quite grate on me but I just think they've outgrown it. I really do think it was a mistake to keep it for the Olympic season, though I can understand if they wanted to focus on their free program.

 

[coldblueeyes]

That PCS though.

tiny grandma!!!!

She really is very tiny

Well I thought Ash and Tim were way better than 64.

 

[SnowWhite]

They went clean after that (lift wasn't as good as usual)

It's not the same lift as last year because the SP requirements change.

these two are born for this and i love them

I know that, it wasn't up to standards even within the requirements imo

 

[norwegianfairytale]

I love them!!

And I have a small crush on Marco

You’ve articulated it better than I did. The program is starting to look kind of cutesy, and a more mature (but still creative) program might have been a better choice for this year. They are the defending World Champs, after all!

What a great skate

 

[moonvine]

I know this sport is political. I wish the US pairs were getting higher scores too. But today? I think the scores are pretty fair. T/M scored the way they did because of their "textbook perfection" which gets them deservedly huge GOE. C-G/L and C/J do not (outside of C/J's twist ). I'm not even a huge T/M fan, but I thought their overall PCS was also very strong today.

C-G/L should be getting excellent PCS for their skate today in my opinion though.

I find myself getting really excited about this Spanish team!

 

[litenkyckling]

Anastasia and Luke are both new to pairs, partnered up just before the world shut down and train in Scotland where the restrictions have been long and enduring (with no rinks open for months - skating "leisure not sport" - I think this was a lovely international debut for them

 

[katymay]

i love them, i loved this program last season and i still do, shame on the fall

Loved the program last season, but I don't think it should have been recycled for this season. The design of it is too slow, and yes, too cutesy for another year.
