That wasn't Satan, that was Anubis.

Oh, the god of the dead?

SP: 65.31 (2nd)

C/M looked a little out of it at the beginning of the program, but really got it together for the SBS sals. I like this program for them, it's very classical music Italian

what a shame that the throw didn't work, they're always a joy to watch

 

[icewhite]

nice but I can't with this sleepy music at the end of a long day

 

[skylark]

Fabulous music for Sara and Niccolo. Gorgeous skating, gorgeous emotion. They've got everything. I'm a fan.

 

[Jeanie19]

C/M. I love both their outfits. Great program and a really good skate.

 

[EdgeCall]

Costly mistake, but I liked it. Beautiful connection well in tune with the music. And beautiful costumes with dual use; if Italy doesn't want them any more Latvia will take them at once.

Nothing perfect but the second group was overall strong. Trennt and Lia are the winners in my book.

That wasn't Satan, that was Anubis.

No, that was clearly Set if we're getting into Ancient Egyptian gods, lol.

A nice day of skating! Now, back to work, and a free Friday evening.

I'll be back tomorrow at 8:00am for the long programs.

 

[moonvine]

I'm starting up my time machine and heading back to the men!

 

[Sackie]

Oh no - not sure this is a good thing for Lia and Trennt to be in 1st after the short. They have never been in this position before. They have always been the hunters and not the hunted. Hope it doesn't cost them too dearly in the free.

Something about Pavel's skating and emotion really draws me in.

the same here
he skates his heart on sleeve, i wish them one day to be happy for their skate
she is much weaker as a skater, more limited

 

[elektra blue]

see you tomorrow guys! love you all!

They have to learn to be in 1st in sp and from being in 1st... its better learn now than later.

I think their focus is clearly enough on GPF that they will just take the short as a good day at the office and keep the focus on skating well enough to get into the final rather than winning a GP.

I hope Matteo and Lucrezia overtake this pair by Italian nationals

They both can be the best...not at the same time though

 

[Sackie]

I hope you are right Ziotic. They really need a 2nd here to assure themselves of a GPF spot. A 3rd might do it - but then it might come down to points.
