Pairs SP

Agreed. The Chinese usually get their biggest scores in the technical content, so it seems as if something must have been downgraded.
I don't get it. It looks like P&T beat D&D on so many scores.

There's only 2 points difference in PCS. However, if p&t's 3t downgraded, that alone is going to cost them 3 points... Also the level of spins, lifts, you really don't know what's going on under CoP until you get the protocol sheet.
D&D must have gotten many level 3/4 in their spins & lift etc. I don't think they have made any progress compared to last season.
PCS in general is pretty low...

for Dube/Davison.
Gosh, I hope they don't let the pressure get to them. If the mind games start, the FS can turn into a real splatfest. They'll probably still be in tough to win, but silevr would be really good, and they have a shot at gold. I like Pang/Tong to, so may the best skaters win. Hopefully this is a confidence boost for D/D after such a tough season last year. It's a shame that their program didn't impress most people though. I haven't seen it so I won't judge. They didn't try the triple twist, did they?

I am stunned. Good job Dube and Davidson!! A major accomplsihment to beat the world champs!
I thought they were keeping their same SP from last season — a program I LOVED.
I too hope it won't turn into a splatfest with nerves getting to everyone. I think P/T still have the decided advantage for the gold, but D/D being so close makes it exciting.

I hope Dube/Davison win but I am not getting my hopes up. I like Pang/Tong too, and much prefer them to the Zhangs. I just hope for strong skating, although Pang/Tong will still have to mess up somewhat for Dube/Davison to have a chance. I was surprised at the score of that young Russian team, I had never heard of them before, their PCS was a bit higher then anything I ever remember Mukhartova/Trankov getting internationaly.

let's not forget that pang/tong are skating to what looks like a masterpiece of romeo and juliet. I have no doubt that they will take the gold easily.
This may explain pang & tong's low tec score.

Pang and Tong struggled with their opening side-by-side triple toeloops, with Tong stepping out of the element. He also put his foot down on a combination spin. Many of their levels were downgraded.
"We got in at 4 a.m. yesterday and we are very tired," Tong said.

From what I read, the Russian pair (Bazarova-Lorionov) skated clean.
I also read that P&T had a problem on one of their spins.
I hope to see the performances tomorrow.

They did keep the same program. I was refering to people being dissapointed by this particular parformance of it. I absolutely ADORED that program last year, so I was sad to see that some found this particular skate lackluster. Either way, they have time to improve. It's still fairy early in their season. I do hope they have an amazing skate tonight, though. They're keeping the same FS too, I think. It's a beautiful program, and I'd love for them to give Pang/Tong a bit of a scare, even if they do end up second.

I think they're coached by Annie Barrabe (sp?). The same coach as Shawn Sayer and Cynthia Phaneuf
Ah. Thank you.
