Senior Pair Free

[cosmictears10]

Oh, my bad. It didn't occur to me that it was the skater. Still bugs me, though.

Some are louder than others, some pairs you won't even hear it. I guess it's necessary to keep in sync

Looking forward to the final flight!!

It doesn't really bother me but I agree that Paige's vocal cues were pretty loud/noticeable.

I'm really excited to see the great young talent we have coming up in Pairs I'm very excited to see the final flight.

ETA: GREAT segment on the dangers of Pair skating. Best quote, "they also have to have a bit of insanity". All the male skaters commented that the girls are crazy and have to be a bit nuts to do that job

Okay, they need to stop showing Dube/Davison's 4CC accident. I barely stomached it before and I never saw the blood. If all extant copies of that footage could be burned/deleted, I'd be happy (though I know Davison mentioned that he watched it over and over again to help himself get over it. Still. I'm squeamish).

Agreed. They're all slightly nuts.

That was a great segment!

 

[Kissx3]

That was the bloodiest version I've ever seen of the accident as well. You wouldn't know there was so much gore from any of the previous clips.

Mylène Brodeur / John Mattatall NS: She fell on the sbs 2a, so they left out the sequence. She two-footed the first sbs 3t (maybe UR), but the second fall was deflating. The program lost a bit of it's charm (and I adore this program). Good lifts though.

Iam not getting this live but i would hate to be a skater standing waiting to get on the ice and seeing that on a nearby camera.

D/B drive me nuts! They have been together for three years and they are still so rough! Their lifts are always a fight - I thought she was going to fall from two of them in this program! Clean program except he fell on the double axel. Bunch of other scratchy landings. She might have put her foot down on one of the the throws as well - I could be wrong on that though.

Meagan Duhamel / Craig Buntin QC: Fall on the 2a (him). She fights so much it's incredible. She manages to land stuff that most skaters would pop/fall on. Great second lift.

I think pairs is where I feel the pain of someone missing out with only two spots. With dance, all three teams are young - they could be around for Sochi or even 2018, so it'll suck, but they're the future. With pairs - I don't see any of the top three around in 2014 (maybe D/D, but even them, I'm curious about).

True, quite heartbreaking for the team who comes in 3rd. thanks for the comments as cannot watch.

Jessica Dubé / Bryce Davison QC: YES YES YES YES YES

 

[figuristka]

Does YES mean they skated great, or your just excited.

 

[HCOSurfer]

Jessica Dubé / Bryce Davison QC: YES YES YES YES YES

Did they go clean?

D/D are both in tears. That was an amazing performance. I started to cry two seconds into the program with that breath that they both take. Everythng perfect except for a hand down on the triple lutz. These two deserve it more than anyone else. What a moment for them....that will be one to remember I think. Canadian champions right there!!!!!

 

[cosmictears10]

That was amazing!!

A Jamie/David moment in my opinion!

 

[figuristka]

Thanks, cannot wait to see later. Well done D/D

So, I'm excited. And they skated great.

 

[figuristka]

[mystichaze]

Wow sounds like D/D really delivered an emotional performance! I cant wait to see this program!
