what=?????

M/B better than B/H????

I like MBM's position in the DS. Usually that type just looks like a mistake, in the same way as Yu Na's broken leg camel, a spin I loathe except in very rare cases.

Lots of mistakes but a lovable team.

yes, I also liked the DS

Their tech content I think in the end was much higher even with the fall. B/H doubled two jumps and I don't think their lifts were level 4 but I will need to see the protocols.

This program by K/S can be beautifully mesmerizing. I hope they bring it today.

That skate from Mary Beth and Rockne will pretty much solidify their hopes of a top 10 placement as they had a pretty substantial lead over Dube/Wolfe after the SP. Good for them!

Yuko KAVAGUTI / Alexander SMIRNOV (RUS)

Music: Claire de Lune by Claude Debussy

11th after SP

3T - nice
3FTw - crashy (as usual)
3STh
BiDs - nice and low
FCCoSp - good unison
ChSp
2A+2A+SEQ - she twofoots last jump
3LoTh - nice
Li - aborts lift before she gets up, what was wrong?
Li
Li - difficult on one leg
PCoSp

They should be able to move up, but that lift mistake will cost them...

One of my favorite free skates of all times even with the mistakes. SUCH a lovely program.

some guy shouting throughout the lp...so rude

 

[treeloving]

Mistake or not; this program is beyond word! So Beautiful.

have to be 0 points for this lift!!!

 

[gmyers]

too bad about 1 lift error

That's 8 points on the table. Mister Muscle can't lift Yuko? Urgh, what's wrong with this guy?

Merry Bath and Cockney actually had a very robust score, which I actually don't disagree with given the difficulty of their program, which had lots of little nice touches (I particularly like the side by side Russian splits) and was reasonably well performed.

Kavaguti and Smirnoff were mounting an epic comeback, until she stepped out of the second 2a and then... the botched lift. That's going to cost points. But everything else very good.

I think something happened with her skirt. It was really hard to say.

ITA, and this was never a favorite team of mine, but I will always love them for this.

Crowd sounds fiesty.

Cockney! lol, I love it. Considering their errors, that score was generous. They've received generous LP scores all year, but it helps that they rotate their elements while the Italians popped a throw.

Go Jessica and Sebastien!

K/S still broke 120, which I thought would happen, and rightfully so.
