Oh noooo, Deanna and Max are still struggling with the SBS jumps and throws, they're bleeding a lot of points in GOE and that was a rough fall on the 3STh. They had a really rough skate at a Challenger a few weeks ago and that repeated here. I'd really like to see them adjust the music edit of this program before Canadian Nationals; I think it would be so much more effective if they got to the high-intensity Poeta music sooner as the first part of this program feels very one-note. That might also help with the cleanliness of the program, I feel like Deanna really responds well to intense music.

Dang, I missed their skate. Apparently they didn’t do so good.

Tough skate for Deanna and Max I wonder if competing last week in Europe was strategically good for them. Nothing was easy today.

 

[DemTuppesSeine]

I'm so sad right now

 

[lileychristie]

Because of Nothing Goe account everytime I see Nikita I can't stop imagining him dancing at Berghain

What account is this (do I dare ask.......)

 

[elektra blue]

I'm so sad right now

 

[auser]

Maybe not the skate Deanna and Maxim would have wished for but I love their lifts and find them inspiring.

 

[cocteautwin]

what is this?

Fun twitter account which posts some fake news about skating, great meme content

 

[EdgeCall]

Minerva already looking somber ...

 

[elektra blue]

Minikiiiiiiiiiiii

 

[flanker]

It wasn't the best by Stellato-Dudek/Deschamps but she is truly admirable woman.

 

[bartlebooth]

Take that, Ulrich!

 

[lileychristie]

Yayyy Nikita doesn't sit down after the 3S

Yay, this was so much better from Minerva and Nikita! They finally had a clean program and looked back to their old selves, this has to be a big boost to their confidence heading into the second half of the season. This program is a lot more effective when clean, this was its best outing by far.
