If I remember it right, no pairs ever did a triple Axel. They did doule axels. As for artistry, S/Z are away above all other teams, so it is nothing strange that now it is their turn to win with superior artistry. Anyway, if S/Z make no mistakes, their technical score should no be much lower than any other team beacause their jumps and throws can get bonus marks for their excellent excution. Their spins now are pretty good, no weak than any other current teams. Their connection and transition moves are good too. So I still strongly believe even with the current difficulties, they can win for sure if they don't make big mistakes. Haven't seen T/M's LP yet, but they were nowhere near S/Z last year. Unless the two teams go in opposite directions, I still can't see T/M over S/Z. |
