2025–26 Canadian Pairs: News and Updates

I get that but it did not really take away from the actual lift itself? Thanks for your info BTW

Looking at the GOE given by the judges it could have been worse - ranged from -3 to -5. Errors in the short program are generally judged more harshly.

Bringing over this helpful info from the Pairs SP PBP thread in Kiss & Cry (thank you @Aussie Willy):

Because Deanna fell, and it was deemed to have happened on an element, I would have thought that was mandatory -5, but apparently not. Is that new?

A fall doesn't necessarily mean an automatic -5. You start with the GOE you would have given the element if completed successfully then apply the reduction. A fall means you cannot be positive GOE but you don't have to be -5. So a judge could have been giving a +3 if completed without error, then apply the reduction which can take it back to -2.
It is in this communication - page 11.

Pereira/Michaud's 3rd place 74.60 is almost 4 points higher than their previous ISU personal best SP score!

Honestly, I thought P/M were better than the Georgians. Trennt is a far better lifter, Luka's turns are hair-raising. Plus Lia and Trennt seemed more solid and on point with every element. Then again, there is only a point difference so that's quite a plus. P/M showed how hard work and believing in yourself pays off.
