Music: Tango Chak Chak her in dary shiny purple him in black with silver belt
Some nice opening chor to the unusual music / sbs 3t / 2tw is high with arms overhead on catch / thr 3s / there's some nice chor moves in here / back h to h lift with one hand set down - music has really slowed down part way through the lift and stays that way for the spirals which go with the music but get slow in the middle / music picks up again for the bods and then into sbs flycam that I had perfect angle to see the unison that was wonderful - perfect in the fly and camel pos and quite good for the rest of the spin / they are ecstatic with that skate and she's almost in tears coming off the ice /

Sbs 3t are nice - good sync / some nice lilting chor with the music / huge lateral 3tw / thr 3l is humungous / spirals - nested coe to start both with nice extension / sbs spin - camels to start in sync but they get out on the upright pos and out again after the change / unusual press entrance to lift that didn't seem to last that long - or maybe it's just because I'm behind / pair spin to end matched music beautifully / they were one with the music in this program

Pang & Tong were beautiful. Her solo jump landing looked a bit iffy, but they weren't marked down for it with the gap in points with the Canadians. A glorious Programme.
Nice to see a Swedish pair make their debut, looked very good.

Once Upon a Time in Mexico / both in black with red accents - her in black leggings
I like the chor to start / thr 3f - nicely done / sbs 3t are perfect - sync & close together / crowd is clapping to the music as it speeds up / 3tw is fast - little bit of a jerk on the set down - I think he didn't really catch her, she landed it / innovative press entrance into lift with lovely air pos and good speed / bods is good / pair spin started out excellent with pos changes matching music - got a little slow on the back half / pair spin is just great - fast, very fast with matching pos - think it got a tiny bit out toward the end but got back / spiral seq is very good with unusual pos and transitions /

Some good fast chor to start / sbs 2a - far apart but clean / music slows for a minute and now the thr 3a fell - you could see it from the throw - she went off the circle right from the throw / spirals are ok - good speed & pos / 2tw is ow bu clean / sbs spins are fast with good unison and pos - close together / crowd is clapping again to the music / h to h lift with good air pos and ice coverage - forward set down which is more difficult but was awkward / and I didn't really see the bods or the pair spin because I was busy writing . . . sorry / and no replays of those elements

Because a fall on the throw 3a is worth the same as a clean throw 3lo
So they can still fall and still receive a good amount of points

Music; Nyah from Mission Impossible 2 / her in dark fushia with black lace overlay him in black with lots of silver accents on shoulder & chest both with lime green around waist - much nicer than it sounds - Spanish style
Very nice chor to the flamenco to start & great speed / 2tw is nicely done / sbs 3t she was leaning and stepped out / thr 3s is big but she put her free foot down to hang onto the landing / h to h lift to one hand / sbs flycam sit out of sync to upright still out and more out of sync after the change of foot - positions matched nicely though and good speed / spirals - leg lines done always match and they're quite slow / bods - good low pos by her about 3 revs / pair spin - good speed and quite good pos /

What a load of nonsense the points system must be then! sheesh! Plus how can a 2axel sbs be worth more than a clean triple?
Never mind that the 2 progs didn't compare for artistry etc either!....
Shoddy marking, I'm afraid.
Maybe *home* scoring going on with the US Lady being originally Japanese? There's no other explanation?
