Pairs - Long Program

[wonderlen3000]

on one though, didn't know P/T has the same music as Mao =)

Well those two mistake pretty much cost them 6-7 points!! But I think even if they are super clean, P/T will be still behind S/S because they do a eassier side by side jumps...

That is right. The 2 sets of sbs 3t's for the germans give them a very comfy cushion.

I didn't said the costumes didn't suit the program, I saied the costumes are not flatering to both of them, but everybody have an diferent opinion

Ah, I see. I hadn't relized the differences at first. I'm not a skater, so I still struggle with identifying some jumps on the spot I guess the numbers make sense then.

It will interesting to see how V/T perform. With a clean performance, they are guaranteed at least a silver medal.

it is hard to say whether they can beat p/t with a clean lp...

I like that move where they hold their free legs in a crossed position and maintain it.

I hope V/T saty focous now, they need a clean program

 

[ImaginaryPogue]

B/L... nerves seemed to get to them. He fell. It'll be interesting to see where they rank next to K/S.

 

[Mirunna]

Like their program or not, S/S sure had a very hard program technically! Those entries intro the 2A were gorgeous!

 

[skatingfan04]

It seems it will be 7th and 8th for the Canadians. No third spot, but a really nice debut by two new teams!

 

[ImaginaryPogue]

Yeah, I'm a little surprised people are stunned by the difference between P/T and S/S. S/S had the harder program and nailed absolutely everything. That thing was earning GOE's up the wazoo.

 

[wonderlen3000]

V/T are clean! I think they will go into 2nd for Silver!!

The Russians are clearly the best...look, speed, line etc.

ITA ImaginaryPogue and Mirunna, like their style and their program this season or not, S&S and S (coach) have impacted pairs skating with innovative moves and a unique creative approach. Plenty of other teams are inspired by what S&S do on the ice, believe it or not. I really love P&T and applaud their success -- at 2010 Olympics, P&T definitely incorporated many of S&S moves and of course brought their own unique abilities to their gorgeous programs, and beat S&S at their own innovative style.

Love what V&T do as well! Wow, Johnny Weir inspired costumes.

 

[skatingfan04]

Amazing for V/T!!!!

 

[MikiAndoFan#1]

Tatiana & Maxim were fantastic!

 

[skatingfan04]

Could they win this thing? What's their technique like compared to S/S?

The Russians are clearly the best...look, speed, line etc.

He had a step-out, and easier throws/jumps. They were great and will be dominant, but this year, clearly second, I thought. But my goodness, the rivalry between the Ukranian ladies could be epic.

So so happy for V/T, though. I don't think I've ever seen Maxim that happy on the ice. What a difference a change in partnership makes.

 

[BlackAxel]

WHat a gutsy performance by V/T !! I am thrilled for them ! Russian pairs skating is back !!

THey wont - but watch out next year. This should be the silver medal!
