3LoTh (fall)
3Li4
CCoSp* (Filippo misses camel catch, loss of sync)
StSq2
FiDs4

SP: 48.56 (2nd)

This team had to spend some time out of competition while Filippo got his citizenship. They are still very green, but I think they have a lot of potential as they become more seasoned.

The death spiral was invalid, there was mistake on the score box.

SP: 63.59 (2nd)

I am so impressed by how quickly this team has gelled. They are looking so strong, and much like Peng and Wang, they still have so much time ahead to continue gelling. Minerva is SELLING this program too.

Minerva Fabiane is so classy and elegant, shame on that fall though

This team makes me so nervous... I really hope they can stay healthy and safe. That step sequence was fantastic, so clearly this team has a lot potential going forwards.

 

[elektra blue]

well they're alive

 

[CellarDweller]

a shame about the fall, other than that, beautifully skated.

 

[lileychristie]

Love the whole choreography of the program!! And it's been a good night for SBS jumps ey.

Ellie's throw fall looked pretty hard though, I hope she's okay

 

[bartlebooth]

On a shallow note, I love her hair

I'm so glad to hear a supportive crowd for Kam/O'Shea!

 

[viennaskater]

I don't believe that Mark mentioned Michelle Kwan AGAIN in connection with the music! Is he too stupid to vary the script, or what?

Come back Chris Howarth all is forgiven!

she looks amazing with that hair cut

Come back Chris Howarth all is forgiven!

In my opinion, Mark is one of the best commentators we have had in recent memory. He is well-researched and informed, kind, and unafraid to point out both the good and bad in a program.
