[demarinis5]

[silver.blades]

did she fall? if so, that is a big score.


Go Aliona and Robin!!!!
BE CLEAN!

No she just turned out of it.

 

[Hsuhs]

Interesting. Will the reputation win this one?

S/S WOW. They brought the A game tonight , what a skating night!!!!!!

they sure needed to bring it. were they clean? 1st for sure if they were.

Well, S/S are going into lead with that. So barred any disaster, they should take it at the end. The fight is for 2 and 3 placements between two Chinese and two Russian teams. I think the judges will mix it up. I suspect P/T and K/S to end up on the podium in any order behind S/S.

Great for them! The Euros podium really brought it tonight!!

Aliona turned out of the landing of the sal.

S/S

SBS 3 Toes - Big!
SBS 3 Flip - HUUUUUGE
3 Tiwst - good
Lift - good
sbs - FAST but minor unison problems
spirals - difficult free leg position
combo spin - difficult


HUGE Score! I don't know if it was that much better than K&S.

No, she didn't fall. Bad landing + turn-out.

Savchenko / Szolkowy were great apart from out of sync on sbs spins. But I want K/S have a tiny gold medal... The Germans will probably beat them in the LP anyway (that's not supposed to be arrogant - it's just a fact, K/S LP is not horrible, but not really good either).

Well, they are in first.

What a great night of skating. The last two groups were absolutely wonderful!

 

[Hsuhs]

And it did. Congrats to top 9.

 

[Tinymavy15]

What a great night of pair skating!
S&S have enough of a lead to make one mistake in the LP and still win, the american are BOTH in the top ten, and almost everybody skated their best!

 

[museksk8r]

About a 3.5 points cushion for Aliona and Robin after the SP. Things are looking really well for them right now.

 

[herios]

they sure needed to bring it. were they clean? 1st for sure if they were.

Clean and they were like rockets, I never saw a pair team skate so fast ever!!!!
And in synch 72.30. The score says it all

I'm glad Yuko and Alex did well. They really were robbed at Euros after the SP. What are their new costumes like?

She is in a long-sleeve white outfit, and he is in black

Well, it's a 5 point cushion. Because as much as K/S are my sentimental favourites - they don't stand a chance. Z/Z are the ones in the best position to take this away from Aliona and Robin.

 

[Hikaru]

Indeed it was a great night for the pairs, very good programs were presented, and hoepfully they can carry that for the FS

 

[oxade21]

Personally I would put S/S behind, if judged fairly or would at least put them closer to K/S. I also thought M/T should have been in 3rd.
Well, I would be happy with the repeat of Euros podium in any order.

 

[herios]

I spotted a couple Japanese flags out there. hehehehe

I found that funny
