Wow, I sure am happy to see the Italians fall to 6th. With a bad performance like that, no way could the judges over-score them too too high.
American commentators were correct about there being loads more mistakes in this phase of the competition! This is really unheard of, the number of falls and errors. Such a deep field but perhaps too much pressure for most of these teams!
If B/A skate cleanly, we'll have the same Top 3 going into the FD as the Top 3 at Worlds last year.
Wow! I don't think we've ever seen an ice dance competition with so many blatant mistakes. In some ways I like it better, because that way we know if the judging is fair or not, and so far, it seems it's been fine. Here's hoping Belbin and Agosto stay on their feet!
Good for them!Originally Posted by Frau Muller

What in the world is going on out there?!
The Italians at the end of their program after he dropped her in the final spin: "She scowls, obviously blaming him for what happened and almost drives the poor man to tears. What scenes here in Turin! Their on-ice staring fight is doing themselves no favours - they look ridiculous!" (from eurosport)
She's awful.
and, final scores:
USA to 2nd!!!! Canada makes final-six!!!! But...N/K's lead is now bigger....

woo hoo 2nd place!!
Yeah! That's more like it!
Yep, looks like we'll have the same podium as last year's Worlds, unless the Top 3 make big errors tomorrow night.
Crazy number of mistakes!!!
Nice to see the French team in 4th with their amazing FD still to come.
This is super -- my top two teams 1-2.
Simon & Chris just said: "Well, the crowd is tucking-away the Italian flags. Their team in 7th. Will not skate last group."
Way to go B&A!!!! C&S and S&O good luck in th FD!
So glad Dubreuil and Lauzon are still sitting in the top six. I doubt they will be able to make it to the podium, but hopefully they should be able to move up a bit. I hate when Barbara always looks so obviously mad at Maurizio. If he lets you down so much, get a new partner.
Who else would put up with her?
