You can see the results at the above link or check out Anna's great reports.
Looks like Dom/Shab would have won this but for their fall in the OD.
I think Belbin/Agosto have been sent a clear message — their freedance doesn't cut it. If I was them I'd be going back to the drawing board. Their FD here scored a good 8-10 points below all of the other top contender's FD's from other competitions this season. That's not a hole you want to have to dig yourself out of at Worlds.
Very surprised to see the scores for Del/Scho. Their FD at Eric Bompard scored eight points higher than this and had them in a virtual tie in the FD portion of the event with season favourites Denk/Stav. Usually the judging doesn't change that much — particularly in ice dance, with no falls, where there are no jumps to deliver the big point variations. It must be really hard for them. Which is the score they can anticipate getting close to at Worlds should they skate well? A point difference like that is the gap between competing for a medal and being top 10.
