The pairs long program was a thriller with the reigning National champion and bronze medalist upstaged.
The final warmup group, consisting of the top four teams from the short program, started off with Ina and Dungjen whose long program was completely reworked following NHK. Earlier in the season their long program was heavily loaded at the front end, followed by several minutes of tedium. Following NHK they revised the choreography to spread the elements more evenly throughout the program and chose new costume. The changes served them well, and except for a small slip entering the closing pose, they presented it flawlessly. When their marks went up one could sense there was blood in the water.
Second to skate in the groups were Stiegler and Zimmerman who presented a splendid program to the Sorcerer's Apprentice. The content of this program was the weakest of the top four teams, and was hampered by a mediocre triple twist and errors in their triple toes, but their presentation was excellent.
Next up were Meno and Sand. They opened with triple toes, which Sand doubled. After throw triple Salchow and triple twist came double Axel - double toe with Sand stepping out of the double Axel. They skated with little intensity and by the end of the first minute they looked like a whipped team. A third major error in the program occured near the end when throw doubel Axel became a throw single. Thanks to the quality of their presentation and their basic skating they were able to hold second place, but it was clearly a disapponting performance for them.
The last team to skate were Lyons and Wells. They completed several difficult elements, but their triple twist was under-rotated, Lyons put two hands down on throw triple loop, Wells fell on triple Salchow, and later he stepped out of the double toe in a closing double flip - double toe combination. These errors more than compensated for the lesser difficulty in Stiegler and Zimmerman's program and allowed Stiegler and Zimmerman to move up into third place on the strength of a superior second mark.
The pairs short program was full of surprises, setting the stage for what should prove to be an exciting free skating final round.
Stiegler and Zimmerman led off the group skating the same tango number as last year, with the addition of triple toes for the side-by-side jump. They skated a strong program with good elements and expression, but Siegler put her hands down on the triple toes costing them one place by the time the night was over. Despite the error and skating first, they received good marks, and were able to hold fourth place.
Skating seventh, Ina and Dungjen also did a fine job with a strong twist and a fine combination lift. Their only error was by Dungjen who stepped out of a triple toe. Their marks in the 5.6/5.7 range were good enough to take first, where they ended the night.
Lyons and Wells skated the only clean programs of the top four teams, landing side-by-side triple Salchows, and presenting a strong elements and an excellent presentation of their music, "El Condor Pasa". They received ordinals of 1st through 4th and just edged out Stigler and Zimmerman for the third place spot on a total ordinals of the majority tie breaker. Had Stiegler and Zimmerman skated clean, they surely would have ended up in third place in the short.
Skating next to last, Meno and Sand gave wonderful performance for the first 2 minutes 10 seconds, but then ran into trouble. They landed their opening side-by-side triple toes (new to this year), but near the end of the program a small lapse in concentration resulted in a small error in the landing of their overhead lift. This got them behing their music causing them to rush their closing death spiral. Meno ended up in too close to Sand and he slipped off his edge taking his partner down with him. The resulting two deduction dropped them into second place for the short program.
The free skating program is looks to be a two team fight for first and second, and another for third and fourth. Waiting in the wings, however, are Hartsell and Hartsell, and Vlandis and Guzman who also gave strong performances and could move up should any of the top four teams crack in the long program.
