Program Component marks for the Pairs Short Program. Eighteen of twenty teams follow a linear trend in marks, indicative of using the marks to place the skaters instead of evaluating them to a standard. Note also that for all teams, the five PC marks track each other in lock-step, indicative of using the marks as a group to place the skaters instead of evaluating each PC individually.
