Pairs Short Program

[Tesla]

Ooo, that was bad.

 

[gold12345]

Not good from Dube and Davison. Most of the program looked off again.

 

[apple123]

the SB for P/T is wrong, I think they score 71 sth at the oly

 

[SK8LUVR]

Dube always falls on that first side by side 3sal....I can't understand why their coach doesn't change it up??????

 

[skatemom1122]

Wow three teams @ 69. That will be interesting fight for the podium, with only 5 points between the top 5 pairs.

Yes, it will!

 

[lyton]

Pang & Tong!!!
I think they deserve that PCS

 

[Tesla]

I think it should score less than D/B, but what do I know.

 

[Sus]

I think that previous competitions results factor a lot in the judges heads. They ranked Kavaguti / Smirnov way ahead of Mukhortova / Trankov long ago, and that is how it is going to stay unless there are big mistakes.

 

[skatemom1122]

OUCH. 8th place..

 

[Tesla]

Wow! They did get scored lower than D/B.

 

[CassAgain]

I think it should score less than D/B, but what do I know.

I think it should be under E/L and the third Russians as well.

 

[SK8LUVR]

Finally they ranked D/D where they should be.....they need to get those jumps!!!

 

[skatemom1122]

D/B are 6th!! Nice. Americans placements add up to 15. Not far off 13...could we pull it off?

 

[Tesla]

Yay! Caydee and Jeremy are 6th!

 

[Tesla]

I think it should be under E/L and the third Russians as well.

Yeah, I think E/L should've been scored higher.

 

[skatemom1122]

Might there have been a downgrade for E/L? Low tech.

 

[MikiAndoFan#1]

OMG! Qing & Jian!



And what the hell happened with Maria's & Maxim's scores?!

:disapp:

 

[figuristka]

I thought M/T should have been higher. D/D it was quite disappointing she fell again on the 3 toe.

[3T3T]

Another good evening of Pairs short programmes, hopefully the long programme will be just as good. Very surprised with the placements of the Germans, totally overmarked and an undeserved placement. I wonder if D/D were in Canada what would they have scored? Should they be ahead of the 2nd Amercians and the French? I don't think so.

I would have placed it as follows

1st - M/T
2nd - P/T
3rd - K/S (bit behind top two)
4th - Z/Z (feel there score is about right)
5th - S/S (2/3 points lower)

Enjoyed both US couples, the French, 3 Russians, P/T, the swiss.
