I've been out of the loop this season with skating - mostly b/c I've not seen it on TV and thus, have not been inclined to post.
I know B/A have new coaches and are adjusting etc. However, they placed 4th in the OD - granted, just a smidgen behind the Italian team but I'm surprised by this. I don't find the Italian team that strong - In fact, I'd say they are not even as strong as D/W - who are in last. Did they skate that well or have B/A faultered - or am I just missing something......
