Folk costumes, red, white, green decorations. Good tempo, but not much of expression. Second throw and set of jumps were intented doubles.

Black, red & green cistumes. Technically it was solid, but I thought they were more athletic in the past, they slowed down toward the end. Except for expressive ending, it was rather bland.

TSS: 48.36/40.06

Audience loved them , but I thought it was rather bland. Complex, but bland. Cameraman saved us lots of nerves, by not showing his feet during lifts.

I am one of the few who love them, but I guess their time is over, they are obviously struggling to keep going.

They just fell apart after his silly fall in the beginning. They actually have rather nice program, and I prefer them to Fitze/Rex, but...

TSS: 45.15/40.70=82.88

Good, but they looked tired towards the end. They also seemed to have few minor glitches. And what happened to their triple twist? They haven't done one all the season long.

TSS: 61.09/59.88=120.97
Total: 187.40

PCoSp,

They looked upset even before start, and did not sold the program at all. Obertas is quite capable of "shining" through any program, but today this special quality was missing.

TSS: 58.38/55.31=111.69
Total: 173.99

Very good. They need a bit more milleage out of this program, some places were hesistant, but overall it was head and shoulders above the rest.

TSS: 63.66/64.17=127.83

Once again excellent choreography with loads of transitions. Tney could improve the positions in lifts though. I do not think they deserve to be ahead of PetTikh. I wonder how they jumps were called. I guess they got credit for the 2A and I am not sure it is right. Have to read the rules again, but I thought that after she stepped out of the first jump she did too many turns for 3S//3T to be counted as sequence and not two separate jumps.
