over all the skating was pretty good. Would have had the German ahead by a point though. The performance quality was just better and that throw triple flip was beyond words.
Meagan Duhamel has bad luck making her partners bleed mid-performance... But they handled it like troopers!! Tough, determined, persistent. Gotta love the fighting spirit of pair skaters!
I'm not a huge fan of the entry into S/Sz's throw flip, but the height is wonderful. I'm a little surprised at how low the Russian pairs were scored. I'd have expected V/T to be within a point of the lead based on that performance. I personally liked K/S's program most of all, seemed the most intricate. I can't for the life of me figure out why he can't hurl her 80ft in the air on the twist like the other top pairs, though, especially considering their lifting prowess.

ReplyDeleteI love nothing more than pure, powerful Russian pairs skating. K&S were great, but V&T just blew me away.
ReplyDeleteAnd the Russian men are too hot for words.
In Soviet Russia, emotions feel you.
