oh geeeeeeze somehow I missed this thread and started my own for pairs that went up after this one!
So I just had a long convo with myself covering the whole event. Whoop!
In any event, I especially thought the top two teams were great tonight. I'm not a fan of Tarah and Danny. They have such a wonderful flair for the dramatic and style that really gives them something unique. I hope we get to see them grow! If they managed to score a 119 here with a fall, I can only imagine what they might be capable of in the future. Well deserved.
Sui and Han were a delight too. As I said earlier in my "personal thread" I think this program was the perfect vehicle for them. Youthful and virtuosic. I look forward to seeing them grow.
Rough skate for Alexa and Chris. It was too bad. But now that their season is likely done they can focus on getting fully healed and coming back next season with real attack. Besides, a bronze medal at 4CC is certainly nothing to sneeze at.
I woke up for the last 3 teams; just missed Sui & Han. But it sounds like there will be videos! That program of Sciemca & Knierim has nothing in it at all between the tricks, perhaps because there was no time to fill it out because of their injury, but when the tricks failed, they dropped like a brick since there was nothing to hold up the PCS.
Congratulations to all though...competing at such an intense Nationals as US Nationals was this year, and then flying to Taipei for another competition is very, very taxing.
It was nice to see Amanda Evora in the Knc with the happy silver medalists.
