God it’s a terrific way to describe higher mathematics.

that thing comes straight from the Necronomicon

 

[elektra blue]

hello, Sasha, you're one of the few skaters this season who got a double monimation, which is quite an achievement. congrats

My favorite event of the season even with the reduced field due to injury and other reasons.

It's sad yes, that pair discipline was affected by injuries so much.

 

[flanker]

A fall, damn.

This one looks like 86 years old professor from my university.

Speaking of 86 year olds, I got a shock the other day when I found out that actor Patrick Mower is 86.

For goodness sake, I was watching something from the 70's a few months ago, and he appeared in it. And he looked EXACTLY the same as he does now! :shocked: He hasn't aged at all in the past 50 years!

I want to know his secret!

Nerves always work against B/K...

 

[Pairluv]

Well, damn. She hasn't missed that throw all season. Why now?? I think she added more bling to the blood splatter on her costume. Maybe it threw her off.

 

[flanker]

The landing wasn't bad, maybe some ice irregularity threw her blade off.

 

[EdgeCall]

Poor Sasha.

 

[Pairluv]

I feel so sorry for her. She knows they don't have a chance for gold now.

Nerves. Sasha was so scared when they got 1st number.

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

I'm sorry, Sasha. It appears that me mis-identifying Nastya as you has cursed you.

She looked so shocked and upset when they finished. It felt almost cruel of the camera operator to have zoomed in on her face.

Oh no, now that we have come back from the replays, she looks like she's been crying, and is trying to hold it back now that she is on camera. But, it's not working.

Dmitri is upset too.

The coach just out of camera shot is trying to console Sasha.

Not too bad from Kh/K. This is literally their first big event this season.

 

[flanker]

I feel so sorry for her. She knows they don't have a chance for gold now.

And they will need to work hard for silver. And SP was their strong weapon this season.

 

[flanker]

Kh/K solid. They did only one smaller competition this season and had to withdraw from their first GP. smaller mistakes here and there but good.

 

[elektra blue]

clean! lutz? what lutz?

 

[Paulipau]

Question as I am not really into pairs, if Osokinas skate clean, do they have a chance for the bronze?

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

Have to be honest, I am not keen on this version of "O Fortuna" that Natalia Khabibullina / Ilya Knyazhuk (MOS) are skating to.

But the skating was good. And that is the main thing.

New leaders.

Only if M/E and Kh/K make mistakes as Osokina can't do well the death spiral that is mandatory in pairs SP this season.

With the way BK skated their SP, OG can get silver if clean.
