Donahoe/Rappold: 19.46 TES + 22.84 PCS = 42.30 Total: 63.08
- Completely vertical single twist
- Through the legs and back into a press lift with a really slow rotation
- Throw double salchow with a really big lead in to the jump
- She really struggles with the side by side jumps (supposed to be a combo) and stumbles
- Nice stretched out position for her in the pairs spin but no speed at all and a really awkward change of direction
- They need to find a new position for him in the pairs spiral
- Side by side salchows were nice
- Really slow in the side by side spins but their unison is good through the first half
- Nice lift into the sit position but she could use a bigger split in her legs
- She really struggles with the throw double lutz and has to step out and put her hand down
- Decent death spiral and they finish a beat after the music
- She's pretty flat int he death spiral and they only do two rotations
- Single twist that is completely vertical
- They nearly crash into each other on their side by side jumps and neither one seem to have a clean landing
- Nice split position from her in the hand to hip lift but there is no speed in the rotation
- Decent pairs spiral but I'd like to see them closer together
- They start off on timing in the side by side spins and never seem to have quite the same position or number of rotations
- The pairs spin is really slow but the positions are ok
- Double single salchow
- She falls on their sequence but they both pull of the axel but at different times
- She falls on her back in the throw double loop
- I didn't see a second overhead lift, but they did have an extended dance lift toward the end of the program
- The same backwards x lift she fell on yesterday opens the program and while it was still scary they hang on to it
- Throw double loop she lands
- They get really far apart before their side by side triples
- She falls on their next side by side jumps
- Good timing and distance between each other on the side by side spins
- She is almost completely flat on the ice in the death spiral, they only do one rotation and there's a bit of an awkward exit
- The single twist gets no height, is completely vertical and he almost misses her on the catch
- He tries to get her up in the second lift but can't do it and ends up holding her awkwardly by the crotch at shoulder height
- Good pairs spiral positions
- She steps out of the throw double salchow and puts a hand down
- A big loss of centering on the pairs spin but some nice positions
- Really pretty death spiral position from her and just a little bobble getting out of it
- Good double twist even though the catch wasn't quite there yet
- Nice throw double salchow
- Not a lot of unison on their side by side spins but they have nice positions and good speed
- Press from the side to the hand to hand lift with a nice position for her but he has to duck under her arms to set her down
- They both need a lot more stretch through their pairs spiral position
- Good speed and centering through the pairs spin but he misses her foot on the change of position and it looks like they exited it early
- Slide through the legs and back to a press hand to hand hold and switch to a hand to hip hold but she needs to hold the split position in her legs
- She steps out of their side by side double lutz
- Throw double loop got no height and she falls
- She falls out of the double flip + double toe right at the end of their program
- She has such long legs!
- Nice throw double to open the program

- Hip press lift with a nice extended position and catch foot that she holds as he puts her down
- They both bobble on their sequence but land both jumps
- Decent timing on their side by side spins with some interesting position choices
- Double twist was completely vertical and her foot hit the ice on the way down
- The positions in their pairs spin don't seem very stable and they can't hold their positions solidly
- Hand to hand hold is nice and secure with a good position from her
- Good height on the throw double salchow
- Nicely matched position in the pairs spiral sequence
- Really nice death spiral position with a change of hold
- Decent double twist with arms over the head on the catch
- Good distance on the throw triple salchow but she two foots the landing
- She falls on the first jump of their double axel sequence but he waits for her to catch up to compete the second jump
- A little off on timing at the beginning of their pairs spins but they meet up with each other
- Really nice spiral position from these two--I think he has more stretch than she does!
- Hand to hand lift and he slips a bit on the ice but hangs on to it
- Really solid throw double loop with nice ice coverage
- Double flip was well timed with a one armed variation on the end
- She really needs to stretch her bottom leg in the split position on the hip hold lift
- Decent speed on the pairs spin
- Good speed into their first lift with a very secure hand to hand hold
- Single twist was completely vertical and he crashed into her on the landing
- She singles the first jump of their combo but tacks on the double toe
- She two foots the throw double toe
- They are really far apart on their side by side spins and the camera had to pan back to fit them in
- She loses the edge on her spiral and has to readjust before regaining her position
- He really struggles to get her into the second hand to hand lift and kind of drops her hard back down to the ice on her feet
- Throw double flip she lands in an awkward position with her legs far apart
- She singles the side by side flip
- Good death spiral position with a nice exit
- She really needs to stretch through the camel position and look up and project on the pairs spin
- They are skating a Wizard of Oz themed program and she looks absolutely gorgeous in this dress
- At 12 and 15, if they can stay together they have a lot of potential to really grow both nationally and internationally
- Nice double twist with a clean catch and good speed
- Really solid throw double flip
- She is such a performer!
- Really nice getting up into the lift with her in a catch foot and he has a one hand hold and a one arm exit

- Good throw double
- Good double twist with a nice catch with her arms over her head
- Double flip + double toe with a lot of space between them but good timing
- Nice positions and timing in their side by side spins but she has a really bad sickling problem on her heel stretch position
- Press lift from her in a dance hold at his hip--she has a great stretched out split position and a nice exit into a dance lift in a split
