Thank you! I hope someone posts the videos.
I wonder if Ice-Dance will post the results real-time?
Ice-dance.com is twittering from Lake Placid, and it seems to be live comments.

(Someone is doing an OD to Achy Breaky Heart
I would so love to see that OD!
In past years, the announcer does not read the scores following each skater. At the end of the event, they will sometimes announce the top 3 placements. We'll tweet the results as soon as they're available at the rink and probably post the details on the IDC message boards.
I'm not sure what has prompted their withdrawal, but I did not see the Shibutani's name on the start order for the Junior free dance.
Hello! Can you please send me the link to where you found this starting line up? I am aware of the Shibutani's withdrawl but I would like an official confirmation from Ice-Dance or the USFSA site.Originally Posted by Tammi
Thank you!
Sorry but they do not post start orders online for this event. It's only at the rink. I also doubt that usfs will publish a statement as this isn't a qualifying competition. The results will be posted on the www.lakeplacidskating.com site and we are reporting via the ice-dance.com link that Sylvia provided above. Pictures from some practices are up.
Ok, thank you for the information. The fact that their names are not on the roster at the actual rink makes the withdrawal official, then. Once again, thank you so much for posting and all the coverage...or I would have been waiting forever for some kind of article.
I hope you enjoy the competition.

Those are actually from 2007, it looks like the only one from this year is NavBoms. Congratulations on their win, but I'm not sure what I think of their FD. On one hand I think the music suits them very well, but the program has an exhibition feeling to it. Still, I like it a lot better than last seasons FD-by far.

I agree with the above. I love the program but find it more showy than competitive in quality. It will be thoroughly enjoyed by everyone, but will not get them to the podium.
Sorry for the mistake. I got excited because it was the same poster on youtube (alikasher)
I hope she will post more from this year, though.
I too keep questioning why they keep shooting themselves in the foot by skating to pop music for their freedances. The judges are not going to take that seriously, and it is a pity because they have some good things about their skating and nice chemistry.
They are one of my favorite teams partially because they have great chemistry and skate to their strengths. Maybe they also want to help move the judges into the 21st century? It would be a really sad thing if the only dance troupes in the world were classical.
