Peng / Wang's 3T was called < which made the difference. I had hoped to see them at home GPF.
They also literally could have done a single toe after either of the jumps and had a medal. Maybe silver if they’d gone wild and done a single axel.Peng / Wang's 3T was called < which made the difference. I had hoped to see them at home GPF.
Their planned program content had the combo on the triple toeloop, and last week he fell on the first jump, but she did the 3T+2T. This week they both seemed a bit off on the landings, and just skated through the second jump.Seems Peng & Wang and team plan on putting the combo with the 3toe, but they're just not there yet. They're focusing on clean skates and gelling it seems like, and so far so good?
Anyway, I love this program. Definitely one of the better one this season.
From the TP handbook as posted on X (formerly Twitter) https://twitter.com/allonsycapjack/status/1725881187539751041Sorry for the double post, but just wondering about something.
Conti/Macii got a sbs 3T+seq called, and then sbs 3S. Was their first jumping pass called a sequence because there was clear intention to try a sequence or combo? She did the 2A and he after fallen on the 3T did not attempt it at all.
Just thinking through how it’s different than the Chinese who clearly made no attempt at a combo or sequence and thus the +Rep on the 2S.
Just wondering on what the actual rule there is. The Italians were not credited with the 2A in the sequence obviously, but they avoided a +rep reduction in base value on the second jumping pass. Just curious on what the rules say. I assume they were given +seq because she did make the effort to try the sequence?
And then Peng/Wang said hold our beer, and added the bent free leg to make it even worse.Just venting here. I cannot stand the “knee to face” position that nearly all of pairs are having the ladies do. It does not look nice on anyone! I get that it is a very challenging position to to into, but it is just FUGLY!
Good that someone is happy for that.Shame me if you want, but this song from the 2017 worlds they are playing after the medals is a damn bop and I enjoy it . And every time I hear it I see the image of Medvedeva belting it with the medal around her neck .
I’m loving Hase and Volokin, she reminds me totally of Savchenko, and he reminds me of Chris Knierim strong and everything but jumps can be wobbly
think nerves got the best of him here because he nailed his sbs jumps in their previous competitions
Oh dear.
Whatever Ellie's health issue was, they might have been better off skipping this one.
I really have to question some of the coaching decisions from the WASA Pairs group, based on some of the rumors floating around about Hanns/Neudecker and now KamOSh competing here less than 2 weeks after she suffered a concussion.Mark is saying her injury is a concussion? I understand the need to compete, but I don’t think it was best for her.
Just making the 4CCs and Worlds teams should be their goal at this point. And I'm not even sure how realistic that is. There are 3-4 teams with a realistic shot of beating them at Nats.Mark on crack. Kam/OShea being US Nationals Champions should not be a goal.
Ferland is now available. Just saying.
Plus, she would probably need to move to Montreal...Brooke is one of the tallest pair girls competing, she needs a partner on the taller end of pair guys, which Ferland definitely isn't.
Just venting here. I cannot stand the “knee to face” lateral lift position that nearly all of pairs are having the ladies do. It does not look nice on anyone! I get that it is a very challenging position to get into, but it is just FUGLY!
At least Peng's other leg was parallel to the ice! It bugs me a LOT more that all of the IceLab teams are tilted on that lift and the air position makes me worry about the stability of the lift every time. It's just terrible technique all-around.And then Peng/Wang said hold our beer, and added the bent free leg to make it even worse.
Even if that jump was fully rotated they still would have needed help from teams at NHK to make the final. We'll see where they finish in the final standings after next week, but I think even two clean jumping passes wouldn't have been enough.Peng / Wang's 3T was called < which made the difference. I had hoped to see them at home GPF.
No, the funding issue doesn't really have anything to do with good results during the season. This is mostly about state-funded sport promotion from the government. This always gets decided for one whole season in advance.So team Germany has two teams with Grand Prix gold medals, will they start to increase funding for them?
I am sure someone here volunteers to take him!Ah, my new husband - Nikita Volodin. But, what to do with Guarise, my old husband?
If I didn’t have a good one already….I am sure someone here volunteers to take him!
