Pairs Short Program, Sunday 14th, 7:30PM EST

[MK's Winter]

Aww poor guy... Other than the side by side jumps it was a lovely skate

 

[jcoates]

Sad for them. He was off in the air from the start. Hopefully they will rebound and skate better tomorrow. Hope they don't go at each other off the ice. They need to hold it together and put the fall behind them.

 

[Ximena]

Fall on the triple, she put a hand down. He looked so sad at the end!

 

[HCOSurfer]

Did he fall or is he hurt?

He fell.

 

[Dodhiyel]

Poor Maksim. I think he feels awful. He's got to calm himself, and remember that this is the short program, not the end.

Nasty wipe out by him and the program fell apart. They didn't look at each other the whole time and then they skated away at the end. She does nothing to make him feel better. It's hard to like a pair who obviously have no respect for each other as athlet and skating partner. Why do they skate pair, who don't they skate individually if they just want to go for the score? He is crying.

I was hoping all the top teams would go clean. I'm glad Maria ditched the white tights though

 

[MikiAndoFan#1]

I feel so bad for them.

And 3rd placed for them.

 

[aurora100]

Ok, I take it back. She did console him at the end.

 

[BravesSkateFan]

I loathe these costumes.

I dunno - in the KnC she seemed very sympathetic, hugging him, rubbing his shoulder, talking to him (I assume words of sympathy or encouragement. Maybe she was hexing him). Broke my heart.

ETA: Nevermind, you beat me to it.

 

[Ximena]

Maria was really nice to him though at the K&C

 

[MK's Winter]

I don't think they should have been placed above Evora/Ladwig. Is this Russian Dynasty inflation?

 

[BravesSkateFan]

at least they match the boards. LOL

Bit quiet on the ice after the program, but she was really supportive of him in the kiss and cry! Their coach on the other hand...

 

[Arianne]

What??? Those scores are messed up!!!

 

[Ximena]

That throw triple loop was GORGEOUS!!

 

[amateur]

Shame about the missed 3t's, otherwise a loveley program from M/T. He looks devastated at end of program, and she is icy. Ok now a nice hug from her in the K/C

 

[MK's Winter]

Let us moonwalk.

 

[BravesSkateFan]

Where can I find the scores as they are being updated?
