Fun!

It hasn’t been an easy season for them, but wow…
So happy for this moment, and that 3S from Annika!

Germans personal best is 69.4, Five Below the Canadians.Ggreat choreographic headbanger move. Nice to see that outside of a show program.

 

[Rikku]

Will anyone please shut up that German commentator? ZDF - can you hear me?????? First he doesn't know my Fedya and now he's insulting hockey players! I'm not amused.

If it's a dude, he's actually ARD guy, Weiss. They alternate days and whoever broadcasts the day on TV gets to use their commentators.
Also, he never shuts up.

 

[elektra blue]

that was great!

I am so happy for Annika and Robert, this was a fantastic skate from them after a tough few seasons! They have such energy and emotion in their programs, Annika in particular is such a beaming ray of joy on the ice. They lost a few points on GOE on the lift and in the occasional level, but this was still a fantastic skate for them.

Another great skate

@Seven Sisters is getting her Meat Loaf it seems

 

[LadyB]

That was fine indeed.

The pairs are making this a good event overall! H/K did very good! Just slightly out of sync on the spins. Will likely go into 4th.

 

[GGFan]

The pairs are really bringing it! H/K did a great job.

 

[FlossieH]

Great skate from Hocke and Kunkel. I never trust her on the jumps, but she did it today.

 

[momrk]

Another great skate!

 

[ruffledgrouse]

A real headbanger of a program

 

[moonvine]

Someone had a throw over a meter high. Numbers give a whole new appreciation for a pair woman to land them, since the highest self powered jumps by men are slightly over 0.7 m.

Pairs girls are brave, tough and strong!

 

[maofan]

Annika always looks like the happiest person in the world! Great performance!

 

[moonvine]

Marianne Nyman says spin goes from level3 to level4, does this often happen this way?

Usually goes the other way!

 

[Seven Sisters]

Another pairs lady with an absolutely radiant smile

Well done!!

Good skate by H/K.

I just wish they would skate with the same abandon as the best other teams. They always look a little too controlled.
