Virtue and Moir made me cry. That dance was perfection. They looked beautiful, the dress was lovely, they skated it with the perfect emotion. Best dance at the olympics in recent history.
Davis and White. Were better at Nationals. The dance seemed a little frantic and times but Charlie handled his nerves really well, he looked very stiff and unsure before the music started. Other than his near slip of the spread eagale in the opening lift, it was great.
F&S. Really like this program. I think it plays to thier strengths and has some very nice emotion to it.
Domina and Shabalin. Boy. They were just so slow. Hearing Reqiuem for a Dream for the second time during the broadcat also made it seem more tiring. It was thr best the skated all year, but not medal quaity. Tan ans Ben should have beaten this even after being behind after the CD.
Tanith and Ben. They impressed me. Certainly the best they have looked since they moved to Linchuck. It must have been very hard for them skating after Virtue and Moir and knowing thier gold dreams were gone before the event even started. They skated with speed, confidence and had had no awkward moments in thr lifts that they had at Nationals. Beautiful performance and just like at worlds last year, were robbed by thier teammates and teacher's pets. I keep thinking of when Tanith and Ben left Shapilband after the 2008 worlds for Linchuck to get a coach who would make them top prority, only to have Domina and Shabalin follownweeks later.
The Kerrs. I like this program a lot, not as well skated as I have seen in the past.
Samuelson ans Bates. Great job! I love the new costumes. Her positions are just so elegant and dance-like. They look so much more mature than even earlier in the season, I hope they have a breakout Worlds.
