The unicorn magic worked!

[Sabsi]

Wow the Brits are on fire.
What a group!

 

[EdgeCall]

Now he's saying that he doesn't understand how someone can be ahead on PCS with their hand down. Oh Mr. Weiss lmao

If you have a swiss vpn you can try the SRF stream. The commenting is much more neutral.

11. Anastasia VAIPAN-LAW & Luke DIGBY GBR
SP: "Lighthouse" by Patrick Watson, choreo by Mark Hanretty

3Tw3
2A (little off-timing)
5RLi4
3STh
BiDs3
StSq4
CCoSp4 (great unison)

SP: 66.07 (6th) SB
just half a point away from a PB!

That was fantastic for Anastasia and Luke as well! They looked a little cautious in the first half but really turned up the energy after the death spiral, that throw sal was great and they got great levels on their elements as well. They have about a point less in BV than the other teams because they do a SBS 2A, but they went clean!

 

[snowflake]

I'm so happy for the brits as well

 

[soccerjc77]

What a phenomenal competition a lot of clean skate ! That's really cool !!

 

[SnowWhite]

Oh, that team from Switzerland didn't qualify for Olympics? That's a shame.

IIRC one of them didn't have citizenship and they knew they wouldn't get it. I think they didn't compete at the qualifier

 

[Arriba627]

Nothing so satisfying as a gorgeous throw. That was a beauty from Nastia and Luka. A skate to be proud of!

 

[moonvine]

I love happy skaters.

 

[MalAssada]

Are these the brits people feared wouldn't make the free? I know nothing about pairs, just enjoy the vibes.

 

[maofan]

Very well done!

 

[FlossieH]

That was nice from Ana and Luke. I doubt it will be enough to qualify, as they have lower value elements, but I think they have done themselves proud.

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

Thank you! You too.
Didn't get to see the skeleton live as stuck at work but will catch up on the footage after pairs!

I didn't watch it either; I just heard about it on the news. But, the girl in the British mixed doubles team had the same first name as you, so you came to mind.

and now the commentator is dissing the Chinese. Not incorrectly, but if you know about the *huge error* rule and the following PCS cap, why not explain it?

 

[Ichatdelune]

Okay the ice monster who shall not be named seems to be in a food coma (except when he had YunaSumi for a snack ) so let's keep it that way and not wake him up shhhhhhh

 

[discodisco]

Great job by the - the most in sync side by side spins of the competition so far, and the throw triple salchow was beautiful. Too bad they don't have a side by side triple.... but good job for them. This should be a personal best, one would think

 

[bartlebooth]

Oh, that team from Switzerland didn't qualify for Olympics? That's a shame.

IIRC he lacks citizenship so they didn't even try to get a spot in Beijing.

Anastasia/Luke. Nice outfits and a beautiful program. Really good skate and a happy couple.
