Virtue & Moir # 23 - Dance Me To The End Of Love

[Cherub721]

At least no one can accuse the judges of inflating, lol.

[IoanaC]

Violation of what??

[marikat]

apparently they got only level 1 for spin..

[Twilight1]

The twizzles at the beginning were fabulous pani. Spot on. The 3 point deduction doesn't make any sense to me unless a couple lifts were over the allotted time. Perhaps the last lift? If Tracy Wilson explains please post?

[DFJ]

apparently they got only level 1 for spin..

Oh boy...Scott will be peeved again!

[clarie]

So much for Canadian inflation....at least for V/M.....they don't seem to get any breaks at all from Canadian judges, which means that their SD marks yesterday must have been spot on.

[pani]

O, they didnt made spin - only level 1 and the first part combination lift get only level 2.
Did they had fall? 3 points dedaction for long lift. All 3 were long? Oh, not good skating
Sad they show this when Swan were in the building.

[rainbowkisses]

They only got 107!! And 3 pt violation!

violation? for what?

[Twilight1]

They didn't fall

[Cherub721]

I would rather that the Canadian judges/caller be harsh on them so they can anticipate and prepare for any bad calls at international championships. IMO, all federations should think this way. I would never want them to go into Worlds with a false sense of security and get these iffy calls when it really mattered.

[IoanaC]

People on twitter say they were great. Where did all these deductions come from?

Boy, every competition this season has been a roller-coaster. I thought we'd breathe easier for Nationals at least... Apparently not.

[elle123]

What?? Less than at GPF?

They got dinged on deductions 3.00. Probably the lifts were too long but I haven't seen the protocols yet.

I think Tessa looked just a bit off on the twizzles.

The choreo lift, Scott kinda flips her around and then goes into spread eagle while her legs are around his waist and there's some ... sexual innuendo but Carmen is nothing if not sultry and provocative.

ETA: Sorry, I lied - her legs aren't around Scott's waist, they're resting on his thighs. I rewound to watch and realized this.

[Shayii]

I'm so upset! What if they to changing things because of this now?! (Sorry I'm probably overreacting). Rainbow not a violation, but the 3 pt deduction.

[Alixana]

Protocols say -3.00 for long lifts. Waiting to watch on TSN at 4:00 EST

[Golightly]

I haven't seen it, but 3-point deductions seems... harsh. And everyone, even the folks at ice-dance.com say they were great, so I'm thinking maybe it was the last lift?

[iNap]

Canadinas judges too easy yesterday. They watch this sexy moves today and get too hard today. This is calculation erors because Carmen so hot for minds

[pani]

Sorry, but i wish to know- how about overall speed?
Then, in the middle of the season they get dedaction for all 3 lifts? They didnt get it at any international competitions. Only at CoR 1 point dedaction.
Maybe some of them put second foot on the ice during spin - this could.
But sorry, i cant understand, how judges gave them all 10 for perfomance with so many mistakes?
So before WCh they will replaced all lifts?

[Golightly]

LMAO! Long lifts? All lifts were too long? I have a hard time believing that. But without the deductions it would've been a season's best.

[CatherineC]

So, when the program is gonna be uploaded?
Is it going to take some hours or just some minutes?
Because I want to go sleep

[DFJ]

I haven't seen it, but 3-point deductions seems... harsh.

Apparently Marie-France agrees with you.
