Me too, childfreegirl. I even looked at Chinese CCTV-5 & they're showing hockey right now.
CDs aren't shown all that often, unfortunately.
At least I found these standings...only two couples so far. It will be VERY interesting to see where Fusar-Poli/Margaglio are ranked, as they are total 'newcomers' for this season. D&V have already been 'ranked' this season - 3rd among Europeans. But where to put F-P/M?
2 DROBIAZKO Margarita / VANAGAS Povilas LTU 1 35.23
1 GREBENKINA Anastasia / AZROJAN Vazgen ARM 2 24.28
2 DROBIAZKO Margarita / VANAGAS Povilas LTU 1 35.23 3 SILVERSTEIN Jamie / O'MEARA Ryan USA 2 27.53 1 GREBENKINA Anastasia / AZROJAN Vazgen ARM 3 24.28
The Armenians are a pretty-decent team, so it's heartwarming to see Jamie & Ryan where they are in relation to Armenia.
also interesting - Drobiazko/Vanagas' score is substantially lower than that given to Tanith & Ben at 4ccs, recently: 38.45.... maybe bodes well for Tan&Ben's 'pre-ranking' in ISU judges minds???
