Bad fall by Shtork on the twizzles, looked like it hurt, too. Feel for them, but this dance was disjointed and the music was definitely not Finnstep-appropriate.

R/T are definitely not favorites they are just no new teams yet ready to take No.3
my bet they will be the sacrificial lambs by Sochi and wont make the Olympics
clearly M/K being send here is blatant favoritism of Rus Fed
when here are much better couple like S/Z and S/B

I wasn't awake to see Narumi or Mervin skate, but it's sweet that he took the time to wish her luck. It was so sad the way they had to split (or were split)...
But on another note, WOOHOO 50.52 from Danni and Greg!! And such a fun, clean performance!!

Good for the Aussies! Loved their dance. They're in good position for a run at one of the Olympic spots.
ETA: I think they were held down (again) by the judges in PCS.

Step/Bukin are very good in technique - still fast like many many top juniors...before their body change into adult ones and than skating becomes more smooth ...and not as fast (I am not talking about speed but about millions of steps a moves and elements during programs) - try to compare how Tessa and Scott skated in junior rinks and now....personaly I like them more now...I prefer senior teams with senior skating in senior cirquit.
I Step/Bukin are not dancers, they are great skaters - they were last seasons.
Riazanova/Tkachenko - I don't think they they make people dance or cry while dancing. But they are better dancer than S/B definitely.
Btw I didn's see Riaz/Tkach free program or both of programs of S/Z and S/B yet...did you????
Test skates were closed and they didn't skates at any competitions yet. Maybe they are not ready yet????
Yes I saw R/T short program few weeks ago...they got 51.60 which they wouldn't get here...they did sooome many small a not so small mistakes.

So happy Danni and Greg did a great job, and I'm super excited by the prospect of Australia having an ice dance team (maybe an entire skating team?!) for these Olympics!
Paul and Islam were also wonderful; smooth and light, and deservedly in 1st place.

Didn't watch most of today's skating because the YouTube feed was being too choppy earlier on and I gave up. But I did catch Paul and Islam just now. There was a real lightness and ease to their performance tonight and I'd be happy for them if they get that third Olympic spot.

These are working for me. The start order from the ISU Nebelhorn results webpage can help you approximate where your target skater appears on the event tape.
