OMG, could it be enough for a medal? I'd be so happy for Camille and Pavel!

 

[GoneWithTheWind]

Bravo Kovalevs, loved that final lift!

 

[TT_Fin]

Did somebody predict them to be second? Congratulations. Next time I really do my predictions putting names to a hat and pick up names what to predict.

I'm learning here for the first time that the Kovalevs are married, and not a sibling team. (Their SP makes a lot more sense now.)

It's been great seeing the French skaters really show up and challenge for/win medals!

 

[TT_Fin]

Was that man Adam's coach too?

 

[peepsquick]

We get scary close-up of crotches!

 

[4everchan]

bravo kovalevs but you killed my prediction game LOL

 

[Hyena]

and even Dudakov makes an effort to console her, something not frequently seen in Team Tut

Honestly? That made me pretty mad. With everything else that coaching team has done, I find it hard to believe he *really* cares how hurt and devastated she was. She didn't budge from sitting pretty close to Luka.

 

[CrazyKittenLady]

Yay for Camille and Pavel's medal!

Laurent Depouilly. Yes, Adam's former coach

Camille was too close to the boards on the second element, and so didn't have a lot of space to do the second part of the combo.

She also had a double hands down on the throw Triple Flip in the second half.

But, apart from those couple of issues, they were great!!!

The problem now is that I haven't seen anybody that went before them, so I can't judge if they are likely to maintain their lead over them.

But, I am so happy with what they have done this week.

Will the coaches get the hand signals right this time?

2nd in the FS and 1st overall.

They are absolutely delighted!!! And so am I.

Right, I'm away again now, as I want to watch the Eurosport version and find out what Chris and Louise say about them.

WELL DONE CAMILLE AND PAVEL!!!

Deanna and Maxime ... let's go!

 

[peepsquick]

She oozes confidence!

 

[4everchan]

how did Deanna land this throw flip?

 

[Jumping_Bean]

Silver by just a hair width for K/K, kind of sad for the Germans, but that might just be my very own personal love for H/K speaking.

 

[bartlebooth]

What a save! She's a lioness!

 

[Jumping_Bean]

how did Deanna land this throw flip?

Grit and determination, and a lot of core strength

 

[CellarDweller]

Oh, belly flop

 

[bartlebooth]

Oh no, bellyflop on the loop

 

[peepsquick]

Nooooo!
