And the first 3 of 6 teams are warming up

 

[Amy L]

I'm going to try to stay up as long as possible like I did yesterday, but man, I'm tired! I just bathed my giant ornery dog and OMG I hurt

Greetings from the arena

Here we go - our first 80s of the day

My father approves of the choice of music

Another French ice dance team to cheer for. When will they think of the suffering fans that have to choose from all these entertaining teams. Celina with a slip, but not on an element.

61.60 = 1st Place

[Gris]

Oops!

 

[swissskate]

that fall!

 

[airgelaal]

Oh
But I was not surprised. They fell in all competitions this season.

 

[Frau Muller]

Oh, oh, big fall for P/C in front of judges.

 

[Kateri]

Pedersen and Chen having a normal one.

 

[Marta24]

Uh oh Yahil Pedersen doing a Daniel Mrazek on that pattern

-1.00 - Fall

Yahil's hair understood the assignment. The fall on the pattern was disasterous, and wiped out half the first section of the pattern so the technical panel couldn't even discern whether keypoints were attempted. Yahil breaking down into tears in Tanith's arms as they get off the ice. If anyone understands the pain of falling on a pattern it's Tanith.

54.30 = 2nd Place

Solid skate. Faux boxing, and skip rope - did they do it first, or was it Fear/Gibson?

60.20 = 2nd Place

 

[Ka3sha]

Liked Ukrainians the most in this group - well, not surprising after the Chen brother

The program itself is a bit dated and they are sure not very polished, but their basics are good and I definitely see the potential here (unlike their senior team)

 

[Frau Muller]

OK, my super faves, ISRAEL and GERMANY …my JACKET of the meet!!!

Agree. P/P skated closer to each other and looked more comfortable skating in holds compared to F/F. I’d put them ahead.

 

[airgelaal]

Judges are strict. Will it last long?

 

[airgelaal]

I think P/P have been skating this program too emotionally all season. They need to learn to reduce their emotions and skate cleaner. Judges like it more.

Good speed, and extension. I wondered before I watched the programs for the qualifiers for this event whether this team was where the focus was for the coaching team, but their programs aren't any better than what they give their other teams.

68.14 = 1st Place

 

[Ka3sha]

Loved the Isr team - didn’t expect anything, but this is a fun program that really suits them. And they skated it good, too

 

[Frau Muller]

TKACHENKO is my DIVA of the event!!!

 

[airgelaal]

I wouldn't be surprised if the costumes were made in the 80s too
