Kozuka and Chan have handed it to the U.S. so far.

China will come up a little after pairs, but not enough to escape 6th place.

Well the long programs are yet to come. Many things could change, especially in the men's & ladies.

Thanks to a good performance by D&B and a sub par effort by D&D, the US extends its lead to 8 over Japan.

I'm really not surprised the US won. Only two countries are capable of sending out competetive skaters in all four disciplines, and the US has better depth than Canada in singles.

The only real surprise is the French team ahead of Russia. They should probably split the extra 10,000 between Joubert and P/B, the only skaters who really contributed towards that

And Russia was nearly overtaken by China, too! The Chinese Ladies outskated the Russian Ladies, the Chinese men only got one point less than the Russian men. What saved Russia from an even more dismal place behind a nation, that is nowadays only famous for its pair skating program, is that their dance team is better.

I'm thinkning the French Federation President (for 10000 I couldn't remember how to spell his name) will use the extra 10000 to get rid of Joubert's mom and hire him P/B's choreographer :biggrin:

Edited, I'm surprised (though happy) for Japan. I mean, like Franch they have only two relatively strong disciplines - the singles. and Takahashi was far from his best. I guess the depth there is bigger and the French ladies are really weak, ah?

I doubt anybody can take on Raymonde Joubert and win, not even DG. As for choreo, I've heard it reported that Tarasova is a done deal and Joubert is going to Moscow next month. But Nathalie and Fabian are also in Moscow - maybe they can consult! :agree:

Tha gap between third and fourth was big, mostly because the French ladies are just not competitive. But you mean Kozuka, not Takahashi, right? I don't think Dai would risk his surgically repaired knee at this point.

Yes, Kozuka, of course - thank you!
