- Good split from her in the carry lift but she could have a bit more toe point and the exit was a bit clunky

- Great height on the triple twist and a clean catch
- She lands the throw triple flip nicely
- Nice side by side triple salchows
- She could have a bit more stretch through the first lift position but an interesting variation and a cartwheel exit
- Spiral into a nice death spiral with a change of hold from him
- Two footed landing on the throw triple loop but otherwise nice
- Spot on for the double axel + double toe sequence
- A little off on some of the transitions between spins but very good timing during the spins; they could use more speed through the element
- Press lift into a one hand split position with his hand on her hip
- Nice spirals in their step sequence
- Good position in the final lift with a one arm, cartwheel exit
- Losing speed through some of the position variations in the pairs spin but overall a really nice skate for them in their nationals debut as a team
- Nice clean triple twist
- Beautiful toe point on the throw triple salchow, a little scratchy on the landing but overall nice
- She falls on the side by side triple salchows
- Nice double axel + double axel sequence
- Good unison in their spins but they seem to have slightly different positions in some of the variations
- Good lift position but he could smooth out his rotations a bit; good change of rotation after the change of position
- Nice throw triple loop
- Nice positions and details from her in the pairs spin
- Great hip press lift but again the rotation was slow
- Nice stretch through her bottom leg int he final lift and a flip exit

- A little bit of a crash landing on the triple twist
- She steps out of the side by side triple toes
- Big throw double axel
- Nice lift position with a good stretch and nice catchfoot but I'd like to see her show a little more performance at the top of the lift
- He misses the side by side spin completely and has to stand there and wait for her to finish
- Nice double axels + double toes
- Good positions and transitions in their pairs spin but very slow
- They have never even been on the nationals podium and all of the attention and pressure has been on them and you can really see the nerves here
- Huge throw triple salchow
- Good death spiral
- Nice positions in the second spin with a cool drop exit
- Hip press lift into their signature split carry and an exit off his back

- Decent triple twist
- Off on the unison of their side by side triple toes
- Really nice double axel sequence
- Great one hand hip hold lift with a good exit
- They could be closer on their side by side spins but nice unison and matching positions

- Good extension in the 2nd lift but she could stretch through her legs a bit more after the change of position into the hip hold
- Throw triple flip just a bit off in the air but a beautiful landing
- They seem to be fighting the death spiral a bit but hang on to it stepping right into their pairs spin with nice changes of position and interesting pictures but very slow
- Nice smile from her in the carry lift but they could have slightly faster rotation
- Partial standing ovation for their performance
