B/S & I/Z & S/K seem to be the front runners of Russian Ice dance so far. One showing for each of them - and the outcome bewtween them is quite unclear in comparison. I would say, that B/S could come out 1st again with more mileage; S/K look quite reasonable (Nikita looks actually bigger with Vika, maybe because she accompanies him, isn't flamboyant herself and still clearly the weaker part of the couple); I/Z have their FRIDA, but seem a bit frantic to me. Top spots are out of reach again this season, I think. :giveup:
The marks are very close so far. CoR will be very interesting for S/K and I/Z.
