Now this will start to get interesting!

[dorispulaski]

The ice is being resurfaced before the last group. There are 5 teams left to skate: the two American teams, the Canadian team, a Russian team and a German team.

I see why Baklanova & Bagin did not score that well: their lefts are very basic, their steps were not crisp and probably did not get over level 2, and I would not be surprised if they also lost a level on the spin. I would quite happily have them behind the Turkish team. I think one of their Turkish team's deductions was an extended lift, but I'm puzzled about the other 2. It is seldom you see three deductions when no one fell.

While Prochazkova's costume has to be in the running for these year's Rusty Hanger award for bad costume of the year, the rest of their dance was interesting, and their lift entries were very clever. I love the way they snap so quickly into positions!

I like Sfoza & Fioretti's FD (was one of it to Otonal?) better than their SD. They skated it smoothly, and started with a nice dance spin, but it was rather boring.

Disappointing score for Hawayek & Baker.

Here's the video. I haven't watched it yet.

Now I have. The first lift is amazing!! I could do without Singing in the Rain, but they were charming. Unfortunately, Kaitlin fell in the first step sequence. Still a great effort for a team that only teamed up in June, according to their bio.

The overscoring of Sforza & Fioretti is quite discouraging.
