Okay performance, nothing really memorable except the bright yellow of her dress.

Huge stepout on the throw3jump and I'm not sure if they did double or triple sbs jumps (oops replay shows they did sbs 2axels

)?

And I did like their 3twist with arm overhead, unique & nice touch.

They were skating to music from Cirque du Soleil, a medley of pieces from Saltimbanco and (I think) Nouvelle Experience.

FANTASTIC from D/C. Not a huge fan of the step sequence but credit where it's due. I've never seen them skate better.

Wow, the Americans did a good job.

**Nadine** · 03-28-2012, 08:39 AM

BEST 3TWIST OF THE COMPETITION THUS FAR!!!

And their sbs 3jumps were perfectly in unison, as well their their throw3Flip was cool.

But what I really like is their connection, chemistry with each other, amazing to see, just LOVE this couple!!!!

They set the mood from the moment they stepped on the ice. Both american couples were lovely today, much better then I remembered them.

This is the strongest effort the US has made at earning 3 spots in quite a long time. It all comes down to how the next few teams skate as far as the Americans' standings going into the LP.
