Savchenko/Szolkowy run into trouble right at the beginning of their program to “You’ll never walk alone” when she underrotated the second jump in their triple toe-triple toe sequence. The throw triple flip was strong, but then Savchenko slipped in the spiral sequence and Szolkowy went down on the side by side triple Salchow. The couple also missed the death spiral and singled the throw Salchow. They picked up points for their difficult lifts and spins, but with a Free Skating score of 101.44 (46.16/57.28) they dropped from first to third at 174.42 points overall. “We don’t know what happened and why we did so many bad mistakes”, Szolkowy told the post-event press conference. |
