SHORT PROGRAM
1 Moore-Towers / Marinaro (CAN)
A slight crash on the opening 3Twist. Hand-down and double-footed from him on the 2A+1Lo+3S attempt, but lots of base value points on that. Wonderful throw 3Lo with great ride-out. Well-done lasso lift with good rotation. Clean back-outside death spiral. Good combo spin and good triple toes (Marinaro might have had a double-footed landing). Fairly good unison in their sps spins. Good flow out of the throw 3S, but could have more height and ice coverage. Nice positions in the reverse lift, and a lovely star position in the reverse rotational lift.
Well well, that was pretty much as clean of a performance as I've seen from them. Great start to the competition! I think they captured the soft, elegant tone of the music, though the transitions are simpler than the other top teams and not many of the technical elements were well-timed to the music (not that the music had a lot of moments that could be emphasized).
