This last group is cursed.

 

[allezfred]

This last group has been very nervy.

 

[tangerine dream]

Omg this event has been so well skated only for the final group to fall apart.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Lift currently a level 2, obviously a ton of negative GOE.

Also L3 on twit and spin. I think all under review.

 

[beckab81]

What is happening???

 

[Perky Shae Lynn]

OMG another disaster. I want to love Miura / Kihara but he is so robotic. Ugh. I hated this skate, really not impressed.

 

[Lara]

No no no.

 

[kirkbiggestfan]

The team event pairs are tired and making mistakes.

 

[ilovepaydays]

So…..they say ice is slippery, but I think this ice must be something else!

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

That's heartbreaking

 

[NinjaTurtles]

Really laying the groundwork for Hase/Volodin to run away with it.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

What is happening???

No one wants to win vibes. Like the men's LP.

It's hard to say ice quality is a factor when the other groups were so good NGL.

 

[rfisher]

Well he didn't drop her but not even close to their TE program. That opens the door for both the Georgians and German No 1. I heard Trankov say the man's number one job is to protect the woman during a lift.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

My nervous system is tore up.

 

[MsZem]

Damn.

 

[CantALoop]

Eek is Ryuichi ok?

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Really laying the groundwork for Hase/Volodin to run away with it.

Do you hate them and want to curse them????

 

[text_skate]

s.o cursed the last group. No clean program so far. After so many good performances

 

[skatingguy]

Riku Miura/Ryuichi Kihara
Coach: B. Marcotte, M. Duhamel
Music: Paint It Black

Triple Twist 3
3T
Axel Lasso Lift 2 - Riku slipped backwards off Ryuichi's hand hold, lift came down
Throw 3Lz - tilted forward
Change Foot Combo Spin 3 (4 after review)
Step Sequence 4
Back Inside Death Spiral 4

And another error from a contending team - are these Olympics cursed? Unfortunately they left the clean skate in the Team Event.

Q SP: 73.11 = 4th Place

 

[Carolla5501]

The team event pairs are tired and making mistakes.

Yeah, that’s probably why the USA team landed all their jumps

Sorry, not a good excuse

 

[slicekw]

Wow, after whatever happened with the lift exits, I wasn’t sure she was going to land the throw. Glad that they got past that. Bummed they aren’t skating this as well as they could.
Inner Dick admires they way they are fighting through the skate.

 

[Bill Trenary]

I am begging the (half) Germans to nail it.

 

[Citlali]

 

[umronnie]

Did Eteri curse the ice?

 

[ilovesalchows]

No one wants to win vibes. Like the men's LP.

It's hard to say ice quality is a factor when the other groups were so good NGL.

I wonder if it degrades after the resurface though.

 

[Allen]

This last group is cursed.

Someone in this group must not have forwarded that chain email in 2009

 

[miffy]

Heartbroken for M/K. I really really wanted them to win especially after the team event where they did so well

If not I'm rooting for the Germans. Or the Canadians seeing as they are still right up there

 

[Private Citizen]

The curse is back. Not the day for Team Japan . Somehow I doubt their press is going to incessantly blame the team event, though.

Pereira and Michaud could be the Shaidorov of the competition . From the TES, it looks like they'll be propped up despite the lift disaster and messy throw. TBH they should be down closer to Deanna.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Spin, Steps, and DS now at L4. Twist still at L3. Lift at L2.
