Pairs - LP

A throw 4S from Sui & Han! Two-footed, though.

Looked fully rotated on slow mo, though. Good for them!
Too bad for the other falls...

How old are they? She looks like she is 10 or 12 to me. It will be amazing to see them grow.

She's 15 and he's 18.

How did that deserve 111 ??

Yeah, this version of COP sucks! You can totally zamboni the ice with your bum and still win . . . how is that possibly any good for the sport?

Pang & Tong's program was much better here than at NHK Trophy!

:yay:

 

[MikiAndoFan#1]

1st place for them!

Pang/Tong, lovely as usual I want her to get her jumps back!
Their PCS should fly out the window (but I should be the last person to judge that, since they are one of my favourites...)

 

[museksk8r]

P/T only 3rd in TES behind S/H and Y/C. Over-scored PCS saved them in every way in this event.

Would someone explain how S/H got such high technical scores with two falls? Since the quad was two-footed, can it be worth so much as to make up for two falls? This looks totally ridiculous.
Not sure I like the pair, well Sui specifically, her style is too juniorish and messy. Maybe she'll get better in the future...

^ I dunno, but one thing's for sure, China is getting a free pass from the wrath that Canada suffered just last week, though I'm not quite sure why that is.

they have 4S and 3F throw, hard spins and lifts with great execution.

I don't really get why I/M were treated like garbage here. Maybe because of Sui/Han?

Protocol is out. And the answer is...stacking difficult elements after half way point. S/H and P/T both have 5 Jump/Lift elements after half way point while the I/M and Y/C has three. Also they have higher level lifts / Twist Lift / Death Spiral as well as the only team to do a throw quad 4S and 3F.

The PCS on the other hand is definitely too high since they fell on 2 jumps....massively distracting and threw their timing off for the remainder of the performance. The program also don't fit them nearly as well as the SP did. I would have them in 3rd place behind Y/C.

P/T's performance is beautiful but geez what happened to the SBS jumps?

I think this is a very exciting team. Very expressive and they take a lot of risks!!!

oops I meant I/M!
