Skate Canada Pairs Short Program Results
Thursday, October 24, 2013
Skate Canada Pairs Preview
Duhamel and Radford won their first World medal last year and many thought they should have beat Savchenko and Szolkowy to claim the silver. This is their fourth season together and they have steadily been climbing the ranks and crossed the 200 point threshold last season. They are skating their short program to an original composition put together by Radford and is promises to be a very emotional piece. They also have some of the most difficult technical content in the pairs world especially in their side by side jumps.
Berton and Hotarek finished 5th at Skate America last week but in this younger and weaker field they have the chance to make the medal podium here.
Davis and Brubaker are a new team this season and after a disappointing finish at 2010 Nationals and a string of partnerships that didn't work out, Brubaker is more determined than ever to make the Sochi team. They still have a lot of work to do and limited time but starting with a medal here would be a good start.
Sui and Han spent almost all of last season sitting out due to injury and couldn't quite regain their previous form at last year's Worlds. They finished just 12th, nearly 40 points below their personal best. They've long been known for their big tricks and infectious personality on the ice but at 18 and 21 they'll need a new tact and more grown up programs to compete with the best.
Lawrence and Swiegers just missed the podium at both of their Grand Prix events last season and are hunting their first Grand Prix medal since 2010. After several years of international competition, Vartmann and Van Cleave are making their Grand Prix debut and will be hunting their first medal as well.

Skate America Pairs Preview
Volosozhar and Trankov started off their season with a bang setting new World Records at Nebelhorn Trophy and scoring six points higher than they did at Worlds last spring. They won every event they entered last season and soundly defeated their rivals Savchenko and Szolkowy. There seems to be nowhere to go but up for this team and it will be interesting to see if they can keep the pace they've set for themselves.
Moore-Towers and Moscovitch are creeping closer and closer to the World's podium and are aiming for an Olympic medal this season. After toying with a new short program, they decided to keep last year's program which has been received well by the judges and went with just a new free skate.
Denney and Coughlin are back on the international scene after sitting out the majority of last season while he had surgery to repair his hip. They tried to make it back in time for Worlds but weren't able to be fully rehabbed in time. They scrapped their programs earlier this summer and went for more powerful music to bring out their strengths as a team and it seemed to work at the U.S. Figure Skating Classic. After a disappointing short program, they rallied in the free skate to claim the silver medal.
Berton and Hotarek had a somewhat disappointing end to their season last year. After winning bronze at both of their Grand Prix events and at the European Championships they finished just 10th at Worlds scoring nearly 16 points below their personal best.
