She definitely needs some tips on costumes. Does she not look in the mirror. Her SP dress was an improvement.

Did you change it to Kawasaki?

Maria is not happy.

Tell me about it. She and Barbara Fusar-Poli own the death stare.

Go Aliona & Robin!

They have hit everything so far! And as I type this, he falls on footwork.

 

[ks777]

that was a weird fall.

 

[kappa_1]

Robin!

I'm just gonna imagine that his fall was part of the choreo.

Yeah, I hit my hand on the wall punching the air because he landed the 3S, and then he does that...

At least that was just a freak fall. Not that not so good Lp from last year.

 

[gold12345]

Well, that easily was the best thing we've seen so far!! Everything landed cleanly except the silly fall from him.

Their throw sal is literally in the last 3 sec of their program. Wow!

 

[Hsuhs]

Solid, except for a fall from Robin.

I think we just witnessed the LP of the 2-time World Champions. Congrats Aliona & Robin!

Scott: "They remind me of Salle/Pelletier" Speking of S/S.
Yeah, Scott, we are very well aware what's your standard is.

 

[Medusa]

Ahh, finally they land everything and he falls on footwork?

I could barely breath throughout Aliona and Robin's program. The level of difficulty is insane in their program. I'm so proud of them, even with Robin's bizarre fall. I can't believe Aliona landed that last throw!

They've been on the top 3 every Worlds since 1999.

Yes - at least 1 for Z/Z. Let's see how K/S skate.

Well, I applaud Masha & Max for not having any MAJOR mistakes, but there were quite a few sloppy places in that program and they lacked speed, which was evident without the commentators having to mention it, but they did say it anyway. I believe it was the best they've performed this program all season long though? Top 5. They should be okay with that, I think.

Yes, they performed the program pretty well and they were a little sloppy.

I think the big problem here is the program itself. I like the idea of playing on their character, but the choreography is just off. And the music seemed a bit slow. If they had used a faster version, maybe it would have been better. Plus, every one of her costumes for this program has just seemed odd.

The audience really was lukewarm in its applause.

 

[gold12345]

Gosh, it really wasn't necessary for them to try that quad! Horrendous fall. Just cost themselves a medal.

 

[museksk8r]

Awww, poor Yuko . . . that was a HARD fall on the throw 4Salchow.
