Pairs LP Thread

[Mrs. P]

117.83 -- new PB for M-T/M it looks like!

ETA: yes for LP and also overall...

 

[ImaginaryPogue]

Toldyaso.

S/S should win this but I see the way they are scoring that they won't win. They are leaving the room for the Zhangs and that coughlin guy.

 

[Mrs. P]

I really like B/L skating, but this program is not doing it for me today...too many little mistakes.

I think this is a low scoring competition, which is typical for the first GP competition (see NHK 2010). I don't think D/C can score a 124...and I don't see the Zhangs scoring higher either.

 

[Mirunna]

As much as I love B/L, they should be behind M-T/M today.

Yeah, the minor errors add up. I hope Mt/M beats them.

Yeah. MT/M skated almost flawlessly (only trouble on salchow and twist) and weren't close

Ok skate, nice lift, a bit boring/controlled

 

[CARA]

So, who designs Robins costumes then

They both need Colleen O's help.

 

[ImaginaryPogue]

Behind the Canadians.

 

[alexeifan]

I'm watching on IceNetwork, is it just me or are the commentators not even mentioning who is in first right now? I'd like to see the scores.

Who's that?

I enjoyed M-T/M. Basarova/Larionov lacked expression personality...

 

[Tonichelle]

Kinda hard not to feel happy when you see the look on John's face. still, wish he could've stuck it out with Caitlyn.

 

[ImaginaryPogue]

I'd even have D/C behind the Canadians, but that won't happen (hometown boost + specific elements being scored higher - like the twist).

 

[Mrs. P]

Hey anyone notice the Meno/Sand ending in D/C's program? And to the same song. Goodness...

 

[MikiAndoFan#1]

Caydee & John did a terrific job!

 

[Mirunna]

God, Denny/Coughlin's last lift was so so ugly! Anyway, a good skate for them but an empty program.
This is a very well skated event!

 

[ImaginaryPogue]

Kinda hard not to feel happy when you see the look on John's face. still, wish he could've stuck it out with Caitlyn.

It's easier to not feel happy when that look hasn't changed and he's skating to an electric-guitar version of Turnadot.
