The first group have all finished. The Zaretskis, who seem to be popular here, have moved up from 8th to 6th, and have an outside shot at 5th. But their score is still well off their PB.
hwell:
Is anyone watching? I'm just following the ISU website.
its only 1:50am in the west coast

Some of us are in Europe and Asia, you knowits only 1:50am in the west coast

. But I'm not home right now and can't watch - I'm limited to checking scores on occasion.Hopefully Roman and Sasha will be encouraged by having moved up in the FD and will build on that. It would be a shame for them to drop after such a good showing in 2007-8.

D/W with a wonderful program...even better than SC.
Khok/Nov- They made some small choreographic changes and it's much better than it was even in CoC. They've moved ahead of D/W in FD and placing- good job. What a tough competition- they look a bit drained emotionally too!! It's not even worlds yet. Yikes high emotions this year.
Woaaaa- D/S drop to second and they're only third in the FD--- and in Russia no less!! I guess all the people who said that K/N were clearly Russia no 2 is not the case. They did have an awfully wobbly FD- clear mistakes on a couple spin as well as minor wobbles on lifts.
Wow- they look stunned. This pre-Olympic year is unforgiving.

I sympathize that your team didn't get on the podium but D/W were on another level today.I'm actually disappointed. I wanted Capellini and Lanotte to medal, and I'm not a fan of D/W's skating.
But hey, the Zaretskis did end up fifth!

Congrats to K/N! I'm so happy for them. I'm so glad that D/W were able to pull up to a bronze too. Looks like all three teams here are going to be in the final!:agree:

sfgirl, I can't really explain it. You know how sometimes a skater just doesn't work for you, even when others are really impressed? That's the case here.
The one specific thing I can say is that I felt they were overmarked in the FD Worlds, because they were skating right through their music there with little interpretation.

You know one thing I noted- K/N won by almost 3 points over D/S. That's a pretty considerable victory point-wise given their reputations and how they placed in relation to one another in CoC. Not some measly less than a point victory.
Ice dancing has always been a favorite discipline of mine but it really is anyone's game now and you truly don't know who's going to place where. I think that's called a sport- except for all the sequins and stuff. :agree:

Buttercup, I have heard that criticism of Davis and White before, but I think they are getting better both at relating to each other, and feeling the music. What impressed me today was their perseverance. I have a feeling Charlie felt like crawling into bed yesterday never to face the world again. But they didn't. They are 21 years old, and they went out and skated the skate of their career. I absolutely love that athletic and resilient quality.
