#*my analysis

I don’t want to go too far into this because I think they know what they need to do to get the marks they lost. If you have a specific question feel free to shoot me an ask and I’ll gladly help you out. Pls take into consideration that these are my opinions and not facts, I am not a judge. Here’s a quick review:

Short Dance → 80.51 (GPF: 81.53)

Rhumba got a Level 2, that’s 1.20 points less than a Level 4 which they’ve been getting all season. This was really tough panel and no one got a level 4 Rhumba and only C/L got a Level 3. They’ll train it and get it back, I’m not worried, they have the best Rhumba in the game. Their GOEs were also the best in the event and better than GPF.

No Touch was exactly the same as GPF, one +2 but the lowest GOE is dropped so same score. I didn’t see where they lost the level at GPF and I don’t know where they lost it here.

PSt is exactly the same. 

Twizzles and Lift were both higher GOEs at GPF. The 2nd twizzle wasn’t completely perfect so fair (I s2g if PC get all 3s for twizzles worse than this one I will flip). The lift was really good imo so idk I think we’ll see it back up at 3s for the individual, they’ve been getting the full 6.30 all season but this panel was hella strict and Judge 6 especially. 

PCS was about the same as GPF. Meh. Again a tough panel that I expect was keeping the PCS lower across the board so that the individual event can show improvement and break records. That being said VM were the only team to get any 10s so.

Free Dance  → 118.10 (GPF: 118.33)

Lifts: Perfect StaLi here, up from almost perfect at GPF. RoLi down by 0.25, I don’t know if they’ll keep the change or go back but that 0.25 is big (esp when somehow PC’s junior lifts get perfect lift scores smh). CuLi still perfect ❤

Step Sequences: Still both level 3s. Again, tough panel, I thought both were more clean than GPF and I can’t see where the levels are lost. They’re probably not on a defined/deep enough edge somewhere but I don’t see it. GOE wise they switched the 2.51 and 2.99 they had on the CiSt and DiSt at GPF but same overall GOEs.

Spin is down… smh at the judge 4 who gave them a 1 (who also gave low PCS… I see you… I also see you Judge 5). They did travel a tiny little bit vs no travel at GPF.

Twizzles were down from perfect… I thought these were better (again @ 4 and 5)

Choreographic Spin up to almost perfect - I like this changed exit so thumbs up from me.

Changed Choreographic Lift got 1.70 instead of 1.90 but it wasn’t as good as they can do it so I’m not concerned there.

PCS they actually have slightly higher than GPF with a tougher panel so I’m content. They were also lowballed by 4 and 5 here so we will see what happens in the individual on that front. Again they only team to get any 10s. Their Transitions and Composition went up 0.04 and 0.14, Skating Skills down by 0.03 and the other two stayed the same.
