3S+COMBO - he fell
Throw 3F - hand down
5 Axel Lasso Lift 4
3T - he fell again
Choreo Sequence
Throw 3S - fall
3 Lift 4
Pair Combo Spin 4V - really struggling with the choreography, transitions
5 Reverse Lasso Lift 3 - struggled with the exit
Back Inside Death Sp 2 - struggling to get into, and out of the spiral

It seems like the program is too big for them, and the choreography too difficult at this point in their development. I wonder what practices are like they thought

90.01 = 1st Place
141.57 = 1st Place

This is a better Top Gun program than Fournier-Beaudry/Sorenson, but can we get him a costume that at least looks like a military uniform. I want officer and gentleman feels, not attractive woman, and guy in t-shirt.

Piazza. I need to go to the locksmith tonight and have a key made for him for The Harem. from a far I thought he was Frangi

Valentina and Max, still not invested in them

Camile and Pavel great outfits. Oh wow what a great second jump combination. best they’ve done this season, well, they are going to medal here.

Sara and Niccolo, I actually would love for them to be world champions, twist not that high. I always feel calm when they do their jumps. I love the program, but I think they need a refresh.

Liz and Trennt great opening combination jumps Oh no Trennt, why did they even go for that second double axle in this. She is a good jumper. Wow they are already going to win their first title. That’s amazing.
