What's more satisfying than a gorgeous throw?! That was a stunner from Anastasia and Luke. Nice job. 66.34. New SB.

The sbs again ...

 

[elektra blue]

the sbs aren't real! everything else was amazing

 

[EdgeCall]

What a pity. Great, passionate skate but the fall will cost them.

Watching Chan & Howe, Vaipan Law & Digby, and Hocke & Kunkel back to back to back, is almost too much fun. Three of my absolute favorite pairs teams, in the space of, what, 15 minutes?

 

[cocteautwin]

Clean or not, love them so much

Annika HOCKE / Robert KUNKEL (DEU) skating to "Hold My Hand" by Lady Gaga.

Annika is wearing a black and yellow jumpsuit. Robert is wearing a black and yellow top, and black trousers.

No, they are not dressed as bumble bees!

I wish more people would skate to this song. Because it makes a great programme.

As Tonia said, it is big music, but "they filled the arena with their presence".

It was not perfect. There was a fall. But it was great otherwise.

They go into 5th position.

Annika is bemused but the rest are very happy.

Shame about the 3S fall, but to be fair, she hit them at the Olympics, so I am willing to forgive (I am always willing to forgive her, I mean, just look at her).
To be honest, I wouldn't be surprised if their score wasn't so much lower than at the Olympics despite having skated clean then - And that's indicative of how they were scored at the Olympics.

amazing stuff, now do it again in the free

I get up and find out I have been missing everything... and turn the stream on to a very lovely costumed pair and music to get depressed and write bad poetry to Tally can't have nice things with her coffee it seems...

 

[cocteautwin]

What a great skate from the Canadians, they could easily be within top 3 after the short with this skate

 

[Arriba627]

All green for Lia and Trennt! Elements were beautiful. All Level 4s. They made that look easy! Into first. Well deserved!!!

 

[Jumping_Bean]

Very good skate by Lia and Trennt.
It is now important for them to keep this going in the Free Skate, which has been a little bit of an issue for them so far - If they can skate like they did in the Team event, a medal is definitely possible.

Lia PEREIRA / Trennt MICHAUD (CAN) skating to "Say You Love Me" by Jessie Ware.

Lia wearing a dress that starts as red at the top, and becomes balck as you go down. Trennt wearing a jumpsuit that does the same.

Unfortunately my Dad was playing videos on his mobile phone with the volume full blast during it, so I didn't get to hear the music properly.

But, the skating looked good.

They go into the lead.

What a reaction!!!
