Pairs Short Program

[MikiAndoFan#1]

Go Aliona & Robin!

 

[SamuraiKike]

Langlois & Hay . Not their day apparently. They will finish 12th after the SP and the chances for 3 spots next year are almost gone.

 

[KwanFan1212]

Wow, Amanda & Mark have the highest PCS score right now! That is BEYOND cool even though I know it won't last too much longer, LOL

Go Aliona & Robin!!

 

[LongTimeLurker]

S&S did not do well, either. A double on the SBS jumps for Robin, and their SBS spins were not synchronized. :-( I was so hoping they would do well....

 

[CassAgain]

Still don't like the clown program. Way too literal, and creepy eyebrows, too!

 

[Tesla]

S/S are just so good. I didn't realize Robin doubled the triple toe. They'll still be in first, but I wonder how P/T and the two Russian pairs will do.

 

[skatemom1122]

Well, the Germans had a doubled jump. Beautiful otherwise.

 

[KwanFan1212]

Aww, this has not been Aliona & Robin's year. I hope they can regroup and skate an awesome LP tomorrow. hwell:

 

[gold12345]

I don't think Langlois/Hay should have tried the triple twist. I wonder if the poor landing had anything to do with her fall on the throw immediately after. I hope some of the top pairs can skate clean otherwise this is a little dull. It's weird seeing Kemp/King in the second to last group!

 

[KwanFan1212]

WEEEE!!! Amanda & Mark will be no lower than NINTH heading into the LP tomorrow!! That's so great for their first Worlds!

 

[LongTimeLurker]

Z&Z's music was uninspiring. I don't think this selection (or the costumes) does either of them any favors.

 

[Tesla]

Well, Zhang & Zhang were kind of blah. They did everything, but there wasn't much expression.

 

[hongligl]

I can't believe that Z/Z after S/S with these two performances no point to compete anymore.

 

[CdnSkateWatcher]

They simply seemed to be going thru the motions; no energy, it was just performing it by rote. Frankly, I found it amazingly boring ...

 

[MikiAndoFan#1]

I enjoyed Dan's & Hao's performance. I would have placed them above Aliona & Robin.

 

[Tesla]

Yeah, and I think that was reflected in the PCS mark. If Z/Z showed they cared or any emotion, maybe they'd be in first. They kinda trounced S/S in TES.

 

[skatemom1122]

I can't believe that Z/Z after S/S with these two performances no point to compete anymore.

Why not?

 

[apple123]

to be honest, s/s are a bit flat and z/z are emotionless, but a clean skate should beat a skate with two mistakes, well...

 

[skatemom1122]

Not me. The only element that was stronger was the SBS jumps. All other 7 elements + the artistry was inferior.

I only saw one mistake..
