All right Colorado where are you? There were almost as few people
for the Pair's Short as for Compulsory Dance. We have some of the best
pairs teams in the world, one of the best pairs teams of all time, come
out and see them. I think only Canada should be allowed to host 4cs in
North America, if this were Canada the stands would have been filled to
the rafters.
- Qing Pang & Jian Tong - China
- Side by side triples were good as was the triple throw. The twist
had wow height! They changed hands in the death spiral. They have a very
difficult lift, he lifts her all the way down to the ice and then
straight up.

- Naomi Nari Nam & Themistocles Leftheris - USA
- Another trademark Oppegard tango short program. Side by side
triples were really good, fast going in and coming out. Throw was
good and they did a double twist. I couldn't tell clearly but I think
they had problems with the synch in the side by side spins. They changed
hands in the death spiral, but it was awkward. It looked to me like he
didn't get in the spiral position after lifting her, couldn't tell for
sure. They finished after their music.

- Brooke Castille & Benjamin Okolski - USA
- They skated to that screechy guitar music that either Orscher and
Lucash or Ina and Zimmerman skated to, or maybe both. Richard says it
was Pink Floyd. They had a great triple twist. The throw was very good
with a dance lift entrance. She has a beautiful position in the lift.
She singled the side by side axel and it looked like he came down early
and two footed. They changed hands in the death.

- Rena Inoue and John Baldwin - USA
- Music is The Soul of Spain. They did side
by side double axels with great speed going in and out and a flourish
with their hands at the landing. She landed the throw triple axel right
in front of me, thank you Rena that was spectacular. They did a double
twist and also changed hands in the death spiral.

- Valerie Marcoux and Craig Buntin - Canada
- Cherry Pink and Apple Blossom White. They
had good speed going into and out of side by side triples. The twist was
good as was the throw. They did an excellent flip dismount from their
lift.

| 33.58 | 26.85 | 60.43 |
- Marina Aganna & Artem Kmyazev - Uzbekistan
- Music is La Boheme - She does a cute
little bit of putting on make up at the beginning of the program. They
tried side by side double axel but she fell. She two footed the throw
double axel. Twist was ok. They held their spirals positions very well
and he turned in both directions during their lift.

- Jessica Dube & Bryce Davison - Canada
- Music Gallacie Flamenco - They do some
nice, pretty opening moves. She fell on the side bye side jumps, she
never even got up into the air so they don't even get the points for the
revolutions, she just slipped on the entrance edge. Twist was okay and
their lift had pretty positions. She did a Charlotte into a throw
triple, very cool. The double twist was okay. They changed hands in
their death spiral. The held their spirals well with great line. They
have gorgeous camel spins. Great line and positions throughout the
program.

- Xue Shen & Hongbo Zhao - China
- Music is Romanza not that other Spanish music The Kween skated. What can I say? They are one of those magical teams where two skate
as one. They have picture perfect unison, relating to each other and to
the audience throughout their program. I think they have entered that
pantheon of the greatest of all time. The side by side triple toes and
the throw triple were perfect. The triple twist had a little bit of an
arm catch and he was a little slow bringing her down on the lift. After
the lift she looked at him and laughed, it was so sweet. They held their
catch spirals really long. They also changed hands during the death
spiral, but more smoothly than any other pair. The opening playful flirt
is adorable. They are so smooth and beautiful to watch. Loved it! This
wasn't even their best and it was head and shoulders above anyone
elese.

- Anabelle Langlois & Cody Hay - Canada
- Music Mr. Monotony - Side by side jumps were good, but she fell on
the throw. Their spins are really good and fast. It is a nicely
choreographed program.
