Low marks for Brobrova/Soloviev; I expected them to be closer to Crone/Poirier.

This is so boring, defintely needs to be gotten rid of at senior level.

 

[Tonichelle]

I love Kim and Brent they are a great couple

so true! fun to watch, too!


and I hope they never get rid of the CDs... just because some people are bored with it, I think it's the most technical of the events and you can really tell the difference between the best of the best.

Nathalie PECHALAT / Fabian BOURZAT

- coached by Zuelin
- i love their interpretation
- good unison and speed.
- confident expression
- strong and crisp characterisation
- close together.
- nice quiet upperbody.

I think they will shoot into lead.

Has White grown much taller or is it just because of the costume? I'm surprised he's still growing...

I would like to see Kim and Brent come away with at least a medal from this competition.

Me too. I really like them, they remind me a bit of the Kerr's in terms of their creativity with their programs.

Meryl and Charlie were great. I thought Meryl looked gorgeous in her dress.
