Pairs Short Program:

1. Kiefer/Martini, AUT: 28.95

•  Double twist with good height and a decent catch
• Throw double jump, couldn't see the entry
• Through the legs into their lift, she has some nice air positions but I'd like to see more stretch through her legs
• She has some really nice spiral positions into this death spiral, but she's doing the upside down version and doesn't have a very good position
• Off unison on the sbs spins
• A big set up into their side by side loops, might have been double or triple, feed is really jumpy
• They get really far apart during their step sequence
• Really late into the ending pose

2. Vartmann/Van Cleave, GER: 47.18 and into 1st place

• Nice double twist
• They have good speed across the ice
• She puts a hand down on their sbs triples
• She has some really nice air positions in their lift and has really long legs
• Throw double salchow, maybe a little forward on the landing
• Decent unison on the side by side spins until the change of foot
• They start very far apart on their footwork and it takes them a while to come together
• She has an interesting entry to her death spiral and a nice position, but a big ice spray on the exit

3. Malakhova/Kenchadze, BLR: 35.21 and into 2nd place

•  He two foots the landing on their side by side double jumps
• Double twist with a clean catch and she gets such height in her arabesque
• Interesting entry into their throw double salchow but she two foots the landing
• There seems to be a lot of movement to get into the death spiral and there aren't a lot of revolutions
• Decent air positions in her lift
• She needs to really stretch through her back leg in the camel position in the sbs spins
• They're so far apart on their footwork that the camera can't get them both in the frame

4.Tarasova/Chudin, RUS: 37.34 and into 2nd place

•  A good double twist
• He stumbles on their side by side triple toes
• She has a decent death spiral position but seems to be really close to his body
• She two foots the landing and falls on their throw triple salchow
• For being Russian she doesn't have the famous air positions they're known for but her position is decent
• They have good position in relation to each other in their step sequence but seem to be off unison
• Good unison on their sbs spins but she could stretch through her free leg in the sit position

5. Volosozhar/Trankov, RUS: 68.30 and into 1st place

• Huge triple twist with a clean catch
• Perfect side by side triples
• Great air position and position changes in their lift
• Huge throw triple loop and it looked like she put a hand down on the landing
• Nice positions in the sbs spins and good unison, showing off some really nice flexibility
• I'd like them to be a little closer on the step sequence but it's nicely done and well choreographed
• Very nice death spiral but a little close to the ice
