This. Italians are skating as a couple. Really lovely and deserved win in the Free. But their throws are small. Their death spiral is only on the inside and they do not have a reverse lift (only toe lift: means -0.8)well, the Germans looked slow this time, but the Italians' elements were very small and the Canadians just had a skate that was too messy
very close... in the end I'm happy of course, I never expected this at the start of the season
yeah.. that's a good analysis. Canadians did win the PCS, but that single axel was very costly. Their BV was low. The top three teams got almost the same kind of GOE, the Italians slightly better than the other two.well, the Germans looked slow this time, but the Italians' elements were very small and the Canadians just had a skate that was too messy

yes, but Deanna and Maxime are skating to the soundtrack of the new TV show i strongly disagree with as a fan of the novels

Senior Pairs awards to follow in this stream
See I reposted cause it says ladies and wanted the pairs fans to know it included pairs awards too. BTW last night was my only night off in 10 days. I went to bed early and got enough sleep so I didn't miss anything today cause I will miss the rest of the event after today.That's why I posted that post in between the two ceremonies!
Don't worry, I know you are pulling an all-nighter. And that's hard going.
Hope you have a good long sleep when you do get to bed. You deserve it!

Oh I will take a really nice sleep before I go into work tonight.
Well, at least you are able to join us now. I like your contributions, and do miss you when you are not here.
You deserve to indulge your passion after that long stretch.
But, again, make sure you get enough sleep in between the skating. We don't want you to be neglecting yourself, and be under the weather during the festive season as a result!

I thought they were overscored here. Should not be above 130 for that skate.Sara CONTI / Niccolo MACII

I was worried this would be a messy skate after the opening twist was... not great but they delivered! I am getting a little tired of this program but they skate it well. Hopefully they will be satisfied with a medal and can shine the rest of the season.
Not sure why they don't have a negative GOE with the hand going down on the 3STh. They too were overstored in my opinion. Also, not a skate that should be above 130 and I adore Deanna and Max.5 Deanna STELLATO-DUDEK / Maxime DESCHAMPS

Nowhere near a commanding as SCI... their quality is world-class but the dropped levels and messy elements will make their medal color questionable.
I appreciate her honesty, though. She's upset with herself. It's not an unsportsmanlike thing.Deanna could at least pretend in the medalist couch...great reaction from Sara and Niccolò
Also overscored. Boring program. Bad music. Not particularly impressed with this pairs event. Of all the disciplines, I think this is the one where if the Russians came back, they'd have no problem going back to taking the top 3 medals and it will be easy for them.Minerva Fabienne HASE / Nikita VOLODIN

You could see the fatigue on this team... they were just slower and less dynamic than NHK or Espoo. It's understandable, they've been dealing with a whirlwind of illness and travel these past few weeks. I was thrilled to see them really pushing the speed in the second half, I'm sure Nikita in particular was exhausted but they kept fighting.
Shout out to Golden Skate!
Does this place have roaming reporters, or are these interviews done via phone or whatever?
Also, do you think the pairs sat around in their costumes this whole time?
Hm... Volodin is Russian, from St. Petersburg. So are Pavlova and Svyatchenko, she is from Moscow, he is from St. Petersburg, they train in Sochi. In a sense it is happening. I think if the Russian Russians were here, they'd probably be overscored as well.Also overscored. Boring program. Bad music. Not particularly impressed with this pairs event.
