FSU中在现场观看练习的人发来最近两天的练习情况,Petrova&Tikhonov和SS看上去压力很大,不在状态:
Friday Savchenko/Szolkowy Not a good day. They struggled, looked upset, made many errors. It looked like the pressure, the lack of sleep and the nerves got to them. I felt really sorry for them.
Fitze/Rex Just smiling all the time and so excited to be here and to be able to participate. Nice. They still have some problems because of Eva's injured hand, but they're trying their best. I was told that apparently one of the little bones in the hand is broken, but but the other seven bones can do the work and the main problem is the pain.
Volosozhar/Morozov He is really incredible. Coming back in such a short time after breaking his ankle on Nov 21! He said that he never doubted he would be back in time. One month after the accident (and he had surgery) he was able to try out the ice and after January 1 is started regular practice and preparation. He says only the 3T gives him trouble. They didn't train much sbs jumps. I saw a gorgeous one armed lasso lift, and their twist rivals those of the Chinese.
Totmianina/Marinin Didn't do so much, looked a bit tense. Seemed to focus on the "easier" elements.
Petrova/Tikhonov She has problems with the sbs jumps. Her foot is still (or again) bothering her. It also affects the landing of the throws. :-( She said she feels ok, though.
Inoue/Baldwin As reported earlier, they changed their SP content. I saw a nice throw triple Axel, but she also took a hard fall and popped it.
Shen/Zhao Today was not as good as yesterday. He looked like he was in pain after a double Axel. I think I saw one good triple toe but also mistakes. They look cautious and abit slow in comparison to the other Chinese teams in their group.
(千万别影响他们的心情,坚信他们在正式比赛时一定能成功完成3toe!)
Zhang/Zhang Solid and confident. But still so unpolished.
Saturday
Totmianina/Marinin It was a regular practice, it looked like they tested all their elements. They also trained the triple Salchow a bit, although it's not in their SP.
Petrova/Tikhonov She obviously was handicapped. I think I saw only double toes from her and she also had trouble landing the throw loop cleanly.
Obertas/Slavnov Her triple toe seems to be better again! Overall they looked quite solid.
Inoue/Baldwin at least one throw triple Axel. High risk maybe, but what do they have to lose?
Marcoux/Buntin He fell on the sbs 3T in the run through.
Savchenko/Szolkowy Fortunately, that was much better than yesterday. Beautiful sbs 3T in the run through and before. Also a very nice throw triple Salchow.
(谢天谢地!)
Chinese pairs I didn't see as they practiced at 6.30 (if they practiced, I don't even know!)
