Of course Marley/Brubaker skated with more joy than Denney/Coughlin... They were skating to Singing in the Rain and were in character. Of course they skated faster and with more ease-- It's much easier to get through a level 1 step sequence than it is to get through the level 4 step sequence that D/C were doing. The higher level step sequences for pairs almost always look labored, but they are point-getters. Marley/Brubaker had errors on the throw and twist that were bigger than Denney/Coughlin's errors, and also had lower levels on several elements. It's not really that hard to see why D/C came out ahead when you look at the protocols.
