I am getting impatient with their inconsistencies

Oh wow!
Didn't notice that C/J had dropped all the way to 13th... 13+15=28.
Anyone being just 1 place worse, and just 1 spot... wow.
That actually ended up costing them as they only received a level 2 on the DiSt. A level 3 would have given them the win. hwell:
but on a brights side:
Sinitsina and Zhiganshin are going to Sochi !!!!!
Many congratulations to the medalists!!! Beyond thrilled for Anna and Luca -- really thought that the Russians would pull off the win. Is Coomes and Buckland's bronze medal the first European medal in ice dance for Great Britain?
LOL at a judge giving them a 10.00 and a judge giving them 7.75 for Choreography. Also a judge gave C/L 6.75 for Choreography.
They would have beaten C/L if not for the fall.It is amazing how you move up when your Russian.A few months they could not beat Shibs and what 3rd or 4th at Oly.Ridiculous
But imagine she fought on, got Lv3 steps and won. People would go crazy over bad judging, Russian politics and so on and so forth.

One judge gave Ilinykh/Katsalapov 8.25, Capellini/Lanotte 7.50 for skating skills. Maybe he or she is really low scoring judge so she/he don't have fault but Coomes/Buckland's lowest score is 7.50. I hope he or she is not really thinking Coomes/Buckland got better skating skills than Capellini/Lanotte.
is it sure for now? I hope so, because they are fresh, well-skilled and a potential material for future champs, but I'm afraid of Russian fed and its decisions sometimes...And when we talk about Victoria and Ruslan they need just better choreos which help them form their own style as a dancers

I was thinking about that during the end of their program, when the BEsp commentator said "continue as if nothing happened" and my thoughts went from
- "yeah, right! forget it, it's over!" to
- "wait, could it still be?" and then
- "no way, the judges wouldn't want this PR nightmare, the leaders after SD being perfect, and being overtaken by a pair that fell".
So I was very surprised that they only lost by 1.1 points.
But then, I don't have the technical knowledge to judge levels*. Aaah, ignorance can be such bliss sometimes
I doubt they'll pull a "Wagner" on R/T
they have not even won a GP gold nor a European medal
hopefully S/Z punched their ticket to Sochi
