Dance - Original Dance - Tango

I'm guessing no deduction for Patrice's bobble on the second twizzle? Didn't see it on the marks on TV a few minutes ago and am wondering.

Both they and Albena and Maxim were wonderful, but Beanie and Max were just that little bit better. They were also loose, whereas I thought Marie-France and Patrice were a touch tight. I have no problem at all w/those placements.

It would be a GOE deduction.

Never thought I would say this about Olivier, but...I don't know if it's the jacket, the layers or the pattern of the stripes, but that costume actually makes him look a little chunky.

And I know he has a very nice body too.

Nicely danced and no obvious problems that I could see.
 
Thrilled to see D/L give another great performance to keep themselves right in there in the fight for the gold. Whoohoo.

Not that scary as the Bulgarians crush them in the OD and overcome their substantial CD lead to take the lead themselves.

Crushed, lol? Overstating just a tad, maybe? Unless you're willing to say D/L "crushed" the field in the CD.....
 
23 Isabelle DELOBEL / Olivier SCHOENFELDER FRA
Her in long black
Midline with unusal low free foot pos on 1st twizzles - twiz & seq matched well / spin with her in catchfoot - not sure if a change of pos / strt lift with him in squat and her extended in front horizontal to ice / music picked up for some plain old dancing / diag steps as music slows a little are very complex and close together / curve lift (that looked strt to me) might have had a mistake when he put his knee down but none of us is sure

Level 4 for everything
PB 61.67 TES 30.73 PCS 29.09 ded 1.0 tot 58.82 gr tot 96.02 3rd in OD 3rd overall
 
The seperation I predicted just now between the Russians, Canadians, Bulgarians away from the French and Americans has already started it looks like.

Yes in ice dancing standards I would say beating a chief competitor by 1.5-2 points in a CD or OD is "crushing" them.
 
meaning...?
haha....
i just wish my two favorite ODs (french and american) does well....

Meaning the Russians, Canadians, and Bulgarians get into a little group close together after this program and the French and the Americans find themselves with some seperation behind the 3.

Sadly with Delobel/Schoenfelder the judges would rather invent a "mistake" then put them on the podium.
 
Is the OD weighted more heavily than the CD? How can the Bulgarians move ahead of the Canadians overall when they only beat them by 0.02 in the OD and the Canadians had a 1.5 point lead after the CD???

The Bulgarians beat the Canadian by 1.56 in the OD, they are 0.02 ahead overall.
