Wow someone is being quite generous with the monitoring of this site. Back to the skating - I really do appreciate I and K's attempt - very different from their ballet of a few years ago. I think they need to keep work on it and maybe change some of the music or moans lol. The concept needs to be clearer and skating crisper and no falls of course. They have to hit those levels as well. Maybe if we added about 3 points to everyone's SD and FD this might be how they would do say at SA.
I LOVE this program (I obviously mean V/M)! It's really something NEW! Low score, but I expected it: the judges don't like this program, it's strange, you either hate or love it, I'm surely in the second groupAll I can say about I/K score:
, but, guys, think that we are in Russia: they gave 72 to V/T with three falls!!
I'm not sure if that routine was scored correctly or not, but something tells me that at Rostelcom Cup, they are destined to be underscored compared to what they might get at other grand prix events.
The crotch motif seemed more prevalent this time...

Tessa and Scott had a good outing of their FD today but that last lift that has Tessa stepping on either side of his groin always looks so uncomfortable- going in and out of the lift. I know that's the point in the dance when she's supposed to be "killing" him so that he can die in the next beat but I'm not convinced the entrance and exit of the lift needs to be so awkward looking.
Otherwise, it was a good performance of Carmen today.
I dont think there is a conspiracy about V&M marks. Their twizzles were not their usual and the hole routine was a little off in timing in my opinion. I don't think the judged "don't like the program" but maybe Igor wasn't lying when he said to russian press which they prefer...
