Pairs Short Program

[enlight78]

I can't wait til the protocols come out so everyone will stop talking about overscoring.

Is that a new costume for P/T? Looks great. More black, nicer shade of blue, some gold/silver decorative elements. I recommend upping the PCS just for getting rid of their hideous old costumes.

Great skate for them too! Best t3Lp for them so far this season, high 3-twist. Good sbs jump. Wonderful choreography. SBS spin starts off in great sync, but un-sync'ed during second part... Pretty but slow-ish pairs spin to finish. Definitely the best SP for them so far this season.

I don't think the scoring was outrageous in this case.

The judging in the ladies SP was outrageous, but that was mainly bad judging in the case of the top ladies: Yu-na and Mao. And this is nothing new, as top skaters (by reputation) have always been held up one way or other in figure skating (just weird that they got held up through TES this time).

P/T skated a beautifully choreograhed, technically demanding program, and they put their hearts into it.

You know it's a new day in pairs when we don't have the Russians to kick around anymore!

[MissIzzy]

The wobbling on that lift was enough to give one a heart attack! I'd say second right now...

 

[emma]

darn - i lost the feed -- how'd the zhangs do???

 

[mizu_iro]

Zhangs went clean. Bleh as always. 2nd with 71.40, behind S/S but still way too high.

I just lost my espn360 signal! Anyone else with luck?

I was just thinking that this is the most enjoyable of Z/Z's SP I've seen so far. How did it end?!

I lost mine too. Darn. Maybe to many people are logged on.

 

[feraina]

I wish I could've seen the Z/Z skate, to evaluate whether they deserved the scores they did. I do believe that ESPN360 cut off the skating broadcast halfway through their program! They started something else live at 5 PM.

Hopefully there will be youtubes up later.
