Oooh pretty nice FoDS

 

[alchemy void]

Omg these throws

 

[alchemy void]

Spoiler alert: S/Z wuzrobbed

 

[Hanna]

It's just like the Chinese teams nowadays. Fabulous twist and throws, crap spins and sbs jumps.

 

[Jeschke]

Sorry for the stupid question.
Is/was 'star lift' the actual term?
I never heard that.

 

[Finnice]

To think S/Z continued for 12 years to win that oly gold. And they were not bad in 1998.

 

[Jeschke]

Spoiler alert: S/Z wuzrobbed

Shut up, Germans won bronze

 

[annie720]

Chinese pair was so good!

 

[Finnice]

Sorry for the stupid question.

I never heard that.

It was and still is.

"Not everything moves as fast as it should in this sport."

Shhhhh, don't tell Caroline Zhang fans.

 

[alchemy void]

Slay Marrieds!

 

[Jeschke]

How the hell did M/S lead?

 

[nimi]

Sorry for the stupid question.
Is/was 'star lift' the actual term?
I never heard that.

Yeah, but nowadays commentators would just say "group 3 lift" or something because the exact type doesn't matter, scoring-wise

 

[Aerobicidal]

Todd Sand's look is very Superman Goes to West Hollywood.

 

[alchemy void]

Could those axels be any further apart?

 

[Jeschke]

To think S/Z continued for 12 years to win that oly gold. And they were not bad in 1998.

Aliona just gives a big

 

[Hanna]

Substandard twist. All the technical elements are so small. But beautiful flow and basics and unison. I'm reminded of my new emerging USKrainian pairs favorite from Junior Worlds.

 

[Jeschke]

@alchemy void this is fun, we need some random 52 ladies Euros SP for the weekend

 

[meggonzo]

How did the marrieds medal over S/Z??

 

[Jeschke]

#intentionalsingles

 

[alchemy void]

fall on a throw 3S
sbs 2A
sbs 1A--2T
throw 2A

So weak, even for 1998.

I'd do something like 5.2 / 5.9

 

[Aerobicidal]

Max Aaron's transcendent Nessun Dorma program has spoiled every other Turandot for me.

 

[Hanna]

How did the marrieds medal over S/Z??

What??? They did??

Chinese fed with no power.

 

[Kateri]

This is the least Turandot Turandot ever. But Shen/Zhao would take their revenge by slaying with it, 5 years later!

 

[Jeschke]

What??? They did??

Chinese fed with no power.

1. B/S
2. M/S (2nd best FS)
3. Germans
4. S/Z

 

[alchemy void]

Even Dick can't get it up for that.

 

[Vagabond]

"Disappointing program." Probably worth only a silver.

 

[meggonzo]

Did someone use Jenni's dress recently??

 

[LeafOnTheWind]

How did the marrieds medal over S/Z??

I always felt that Shen/Zhao were held back for a long time before they got all the credit they deserved.

I love that pair!!
