Ben mentioning physics, not something I expect to hear on the NBC broadcast.

More of them blinding us with SCIENCE!

 

[beckab81]

oooffff, scary lifts. Mostly better than the fall, and they'll get one of the JW spots, but I just don't see this partnership lasting after this season.

He read the Men's SP thread here last night and wanted to assure us that he can do better than Johnny and Tara.

 

[Braulio]

Nice! 3salchow 2 axel 2 axel sequence

 

[ilovesalchows]

A pairs girl who can jump! Just need to work on those pairs skills.

lol. I try not to be too harsh on commentators since I was forced to take a public speaking class in undergrad and we had to watch and critique our own speeches. I learned I had a bunch of verbal and body tics that I had no idea about.

Granted, commentators are being paid and should be trying to improve these kinds of things.

FlorWang - SBS 3t - step out by Olivia; 3tw - nice enough; SBS 3s+2a+2a - landed! First lift - eeeeek on the dismount; throw 3lo - landed; second lift - oh dear God, please no more; last lift - their lifts make me so nervous but they're done with them now; throw 3s - hand down; BODS - fine and right into the combo spin - slow and then fast on the last position & out of control on the exit; choreo seq - pointless.

Wellllllll - that should get them on the Jr Worlds team again, but it will definitely also go behind ChanHowe.

 

[flyingsit]

These two need to work on their levels and polish, but there is definite potential.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Honestly, this is very impressive for how they looked at SA.

 

[beckab81]

Best elements from F/W were their SBS jumps, that's a crazy statement for American pairs!

 

[Lanie]

Olivia is adorable. The lifts kinda scare me.

 

[peibeck]

It's nice to see them so emotional. If this was their last program together it was a respectable effort.

 

[tangerine dream]

Olivia is charming. I'd be very interested to see her with another partner who is more stable in the lifts.

 

[Sarah]

I love F/W but I still think she needs a taller partner. And that makes me sad.

 

[Karen-W]

I'm so glad these skaters get a chance to skate before a nearly full arena.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

I'm so glad these skaters get a chance to skate before a nearly full arena.

Olivia was so excited pointed out how many people were there!

 

[Sarah]

I love how full the arena is!

 

[Matryeshka]

Ryan is Chelsea’s 7th partner. She’s only 24.

I mean, O'Shea and Nagy as of right now have a good shot of going to the Olys. Maybe Liu is a good luck charm. If Bedard suddenly switches to Flores, we'll know. I wonder where she'd be if she'd stuck it out with Xie Zhong.

No Tara. No Johnny. No Andrea.

this is working great! I thank you. Finally able to watch with the music turned up!!

 

[Lanie]

McBark not doing so well

 

[myhoneyhoney]

Awwww their height difference is like my Hubby and I.

 

[tangerine dream]

McPark have the best triple twist in the field but the flips were a disaster.

 

[beckab81]

lol, picking in for the flips 5 seconds apart and then both go down. Maybe they'll try loops for their next comp.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

The double fall on the SBS 3F might explain why we don't see that element very often.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Death spiral called BASE

 

[Citlali]

Fall is the SBS jumps that is not even synchronized should be -5000 GOE

 

[beckab81]

2nd lift seemed a little sticky, maybe someone w/ more technical knowledge can explain what happened with it? They got good GOE, but only a level 3.

 

[Karen-W]

McBark - 3tw - still so huge; SBS 3t+2a - well, they got through them; SBS 3f - both fell, ouch, and didn't even try to be in unison; throw 3lo - gorgeous; first lift - nice; BODS - I'm not sure she got low enough for it to count; into their combo spin - really lovely; throw 3z - nice; second lift - good; choreo seq - eh; last lift - really nice.

Well, given the lead they had from the SP, they should stay ahead of ChanHowe but I expect they'll lose the FS to them once that death spiral is invalidated.
