I just read the Eurosport transcript:
D&V FELL during their OD!!!! That's why they were marked relatively low.
Bad luck for the favorites, so far...first D&V, then D&S. Oh crap..... I wish better luck for B&A (although I also love Canadians &, of crs, Russians)!!!
During warm-up...huge applause for the two Italian teams, who happen to have 'drawn' the last group here. One is in 1st place - the other in 10th.
Dubreuil/Lauzon of Canada take the ice!
***fast music***
"Fabulous synchronization in steps..."
***slow rhumba***
"oh yes!" big applause (lift)
"oh dear..." FALL "she is in agony" "so good until last five seconds....hip injury...went down with big thump."
Seems to be a Zhang-style fall...she seems to be able to move legs, walk....
EUROSPORT transcript: Closer inspection: it was her that could not keep the hold! The let go and went smashing into the ice. That thud ends their routine, and Marie-France is in quite some pain. Carried off the ice, she will be a doubt for the next dance tomorrow. The results come in: 27.47 + 28.89 = 54.36 and 91.80 or fourth overall.

That's too bad. Looks like D/V ruined their chances of making the podium? But will they continue with Olympic-eligible skating for a while longer or stop again?

The final group is on ice, doing their warm ups. Let me warn you: there are some truly horrific outfits out there. At least two of the dresses are maybe the most revolting things I have seen off ice, let alone on it!
D'oh!!!!!!!!! Patrice dropped MF!!!!! There goes any shot at a medal.
D/L's medal hopes probably gone now -- heartbreaking as they have great FD.

I actually kind of like the idea of a splat fest in dance, though I realize the competitors might not be happy about it.
Is there someting about the ice in the venue? That might explain the mens results (and Plushenko's uncharacteristically slow skating).
OMG! This is a nightmare. Fall after fall so far tonight! The Lithuanians, the Canadians, and now the #2 Italians.
Gooooo Russia!!!! Navka & Kostomarov!!!!
****cha-cha****
lots of clapping in time by pro-Russian crowd.
Nice synchro...
***rhumba*****
perfect...
***samba final music***crowd into it again....
PERFECT!!! HUGE cheers! Crowd stands.
"Finally a top performance - polished. RIVETING" says Chris.

I am totally heartbroken for Dub/Lauz. They were well on their way to the podium, I almost can't believe it. With their fabulous free all they had to do was stay close. After watching G/G I was pretty sure they could beat them, as G/G were REALLY slow on both of their footwork passes (lots of one-foot work that was ugly, ugly, ugly and awkward).
Dubreuil and Lauzon
Russia 1st but not by huge amount!!! How will the Italians fare????
