It was obvious that Denkova and Staviski would have the lead. I was kind of suprised that Delobel and Schoenfelder are in 2nd and Chait and Sakhnovski are in 4th.

That actually doens'surprise me. I'd expect compulsories to be C&S's worst portion of a competition. Since they are a little choppy, and have some problems with their free legs, 4th seems right. They don't really get to show any of their strengths in this portion. I'm sure they'll pick up steam in the OD.
