#8 Christina BEIER / William BEIER GER
Place: 12
CD: 28.62

In bright orange costumes. Elements were mostly well done, except missed holds on DiSt. They have good character on rhumba, but the fast rhythms could have been more impressive.

PB: 47.89

Both in black and silver.

SBS well done
CuLi he in shoot-the-duck, she in half-donut

They have some interesting moments, but overall it was not very expressive.

SBS he stumbled on 2nd tw
RoLi she is bending backwards
CoSp both in low sit
CuLi he in spreadeagle, she in layback
DiSt slow

I think they are regressing compared to last year. More hesistant, less expressive. Averbukh liked their step sequences, but did not like their appearance.

Good choreography with many interesting moves, but they could have betterr character and skated closer together.

SlLi he on 1 foot she in upside down half-B.

Slow and not very expressive. I think in some places they looked uncomfortable. Averbukh loved them though.

Not much speed, but nice style. Averbukh said they did not have "it" what separates champions frim the rest and the elements are recycled, but it was a nice dance.

Excellent choreography and ballroom character. The elements were relatively "boring". Averbukh loved them.

She in white feathers.

SBS
CoSp
SlLi with very obvious setup
DiSt looked easy
RoLi

I cannot say that I am very impressed. Averbukh said they improved their basics and I agree. They have all the "right" moves, but the character doesn't come across TV screen.
