And here I thought I was here all by myself. . . sorry for not posting the previous group as they skated. We were enjoying the dances so much that I forgot!

Yes probably an extended lift .

Virtue & Moir and Davis & White were both fantastic in their own way

I would guess that this means they don't take the championships. Truly doesn't break my heart - sorry, but that's just me. Great tech marks, but barely above their team mates in the PCS.

Very interesting.

But that is just great Isabelle is there and skates !
She has a double distortion on her foot that she suffered last week ! So being there and skating is just good for her.

It's my least favourite free skate of theirs, but Congratulations to Albena and Maxim.

CBC CC just reported during their FD they're retiring after tonight. Rosaleen, have you heard anything about this?
