Nice skate from Canadian pair

 

[16Olympics]

That was so nice. Loved the lift at the end. Well done.

 

[EdgeCall]

Ouch, botched spin from Lia.

 

[bartlebooth]

The twist exit scared me, otherwise good program by Pereira and Michaud, spin unison aside.

 

[cocteautwin]

Some weird mistake on twist and spin from Lia and Trennt, that could cost them quite a lot both on elements GOE and overall components. It's a shame cause they nailed those jumps so nicely.

Lia/Trennt. Great outfits and a good program. Really good skate.

 

[Sabsi]

A few unnecessary mistakes, probably just nerves.
But nailed everything else. Nice job, Lia & Trennt!

 

[readernick]

Small issues but this is a good program for them.

 

[YuBluByMe]

They did well considering the circumstances. A hiccup on the exit in the triple twist and a little struggle on the spin, but the SBS were the best element. Not bad at all.

 

[maofan]

Some gorgeous elements (side by side jumps), some small mistakes, understandable for their first Olympics!

 

[Arriba627]

Good job Lia and Trent! Beautiful twist, shame on the little stumble. Nice SBS.

ok..

I don't think I've ever seen a twist exit like that but she stayed on her feet. The spin mistake was brief but it will cost them. They're in the lead.

 

[SmileHappy34]

I don't expect a clean (no fall) skate from them.
It is wishful thinking. Yes I hope they do well. I don't count on it.

Ah, I see we're not done with the melancholy ambient falsetto genre in skating

 

[EdgeCall]

Pos. GOE on the 2A?

A bit of a mixed skate from Anastasia and Luke. They've struggled a bit after their brilliant showings last season, and this program wasn't quite as solid as they are capable of, but it was still a solid skate. They had really great ice coverage on the step sequence, but they lost a lot of points on their final spin.

That was a little too many small mistakes. I wonder if they will drop behind the Chinese couple
