after 1st group we have
S&S 70.36
M&T 62.73
K&S 61,25
some random thoughts now:
1. levels kill the beauty of figure skating. Period.
2. I'm very interested to see where the Ukranians will land after their SP
3. I'm sorry for saying that again, but why are the Germans overmarked like that? OK, I'm not an expert, but I don't find that their today's performance should be 8 points over M&T's...
