Most of the Pairs had problems with the death spiral and the twist apparently. I'm not worried about V&T. It's their first competition after a long break and an injury. The adrenalin, the nerves can play you bad tricks. Max was not in a good day today. It happens to the best. Once they get the technical elements with the quality we know they have the PCS will rise also. They just need more time and competitions.
Yes, he barely caught her. Hence the negative GoE's. He didn't tripped on the twist though but on the Th3Flip.

Death spiral.
Of course ! Sorry -- yes the death spiral was not their best. They usually have one that is fabulous!

To get level 4 on a death spiral, you have to have do:
*Difficult/creative entry and/or exit
*At least two full revolutions in the "low" position
Most teams only do the difficult/creative entry, so that means they have to do 3 revolutions in the low position. It's kind of like it's forcing them to forget about choreography in order to do the extra revolutions to get the bigger points. The criteria should be something like:
*Difficult/creative entry or exit
*Change of arm hold (used to be one of the criteria)
*Increase in speed (maybe)
*Full revolution in low position (count each revolution)

Maybe not lose speed would be better.
My question is they lost 2 levels from level 4.

Yes, maintaining speed!
Part of me is hoping this lights a fire under them and they'll have a fantastic free skate like they did at the 2012 Worlds, but I guess a more reasonable wish for them is they skate the free skate cleanly with less nerves. Wishing them the best of luck either way.
This is only the beginning! Better they work through the nerves here than during the GP, imo.

Here's their LP morning practice from today. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nf67IlwI-Jo
Each element on its own looks incredible. the only thing that is lacking is a bit more speed, confidence and the ability to maintain the full performance, especially during competitions.
it's like learning how to walk all over again, or feeling dizzy after spending too much time in bed..
