New PB for M/B?

IS anyone doing a play by play?

Sitting at work. Dying to know what elements everyone is doing and how successfully at that.

Jessica DUBE / Bryce DAVISON
Good, but not flawless.

New PB for M/B?

Yes, I thought so too.

I'm not doing it because:
1 shaky stream
2 know nothing ))

MCLAUGHLIN / BRUBAKER were very good, I like their speed and attack. Their 3twist does not seem to be as big as it used to be.

I'm not impressed with D/D, another generic music piece with ZERO transition. It looks they are going to play 'cute' couple again this year.

Go YukoS!

D/D into 2nd behind M/B.
I liked D/D's music, but it didn't strike me as anything different from what they've skated to before. And they weren't as clean as M/B.

On a shallow note, I really want Keauna to lose all that blue eyeshadow. Eek!

K/S' SP is much better than LP, they seem much more polished, should be easily in 1st place. Too slow though.

There's no choreography, not transition, they went from one element to another. I'm just bemused that many fans want to annoint them as the next one.

what's up with smirinov's costume ? How does it relate to the Swan ? Is the Swan supposed to be landed on him ?

 

[Wrlmy]

K/S were great! Little slow, but they nailed everything!
65.02 into 1st!

 

[Hsuhs]

Wow, they're in 1st

 

[lmarie086]

Y/S into first by 5 points?! Yes they were clean, but 65, really? They showed no emotion throughout the program IMO. I do think they should be in first but not by that much.

 

[Ptichka]

Good for K&S. Then again, they often do better in SP than in LP. I hope they have a better experience than M&T at SA.

 

[marc2000]

Does anyone know what elements the top four teams did?

 

[museksk8r]

YAY! Kawaguchi/Smirnov in 1st!!

Well, we know Russia's pairs can win the short programs (M/T in SA and K/S in SC)! Hopefully, they can carry this momentum into the LP. :thumbsup:

I was just thinking that. They do seem more polished this year, but I'd still like to see more connection with each other.

Thanks for the live updates, everyone!

Well, most of that lead is from elements, just a bit is from components.
