I don't understand how you can end up with such an opinion with the other Italian team's placement.
Faiella and Scalli really deserved that result.

But isn't the CD normally the Kerrs' least strong segement? They might be able to keep the placement - and Pechelat&Bourzat often lose lots of points with their freedance.

Yeah, what do you know ??!!!
Surprises, surprises, some good, some bad.
This championship looks so promising...
It comes to show that we can predict close to nothing.

I usually love the Kerrs and prefer them to Nathalie and Fabian, but I really would have put the latter before them.
Well at least this means that Sinead and John are on a good path for a medal.

I'm not sure that you can say that Kerrs can't do CDs to save their lives . The CD is usually their weakest segment of the competition but that isn't to say that they can't do them at all. They have consistently improved their CDs both under their previous coaches and now under Platov.
Did you miss the part in DomShabs skate where he fell? The -1 for the fall coupled with the effect the fall must have had on the PCS means if he hadn't fallen they would likely have been ahead of the Kerrs.

I'm sorry. I say silly things all the time.

Pechalat/Bourzat beat Faeilla/Scalli on both the OD and the FD at NHK, so there's hope yet for the 3rd and 4th place teams.
The judges have a strange habit of disregarding mistakes from F/S - wobbles, falls and near-falls. I thought they were very lucky to come away with the NHK win and if they made mistakes today, I really don't see why they are second. Of course, that Dom/Shab can be in 5th with a fall - and that close to the top teams - is far more questionnaible.
I am saying they can't do CD and never will be.
They don't get the "it" to learn it nor have the power to do it, because John is very weak compared to Sinead. A fact they hide very well in ODs and FDs.
This result is ridiculous.
The judges held the PCS for ALL teams because of DomShab fall. That is so wrong when they just don't skate. Come on, they were not on the ice this afternoon. 7's for SS all right, but the rest was barely worth 6s.
The only team saluted by Rakkhamo/Kokko were BTW sixth place team of Pernelle CARRON / Matthieu JOST.

In your opinion, I would disagree, and thankfully the international judges are starting to disagree that they can't do CDs.
I'm not sure that i understand your first sentence, but they certainly have put in an awful lot of work into their CDs to improve and they have consistently improved them. I agree that John is the weaker of the two, however, there is no hiding in the ODs or FDs in the twizzle sequences where John frequently does make mistakes.
I think i must have missed the point of your first post since i thought you were complainign at DomShabs being so low as 5th place, though you seem to be saynig the exact opposite that they should have been lower.
While Rakkhamo/Kokko are the inventors of the dance they are certainly not the judges, so while their opinion is useful to know - its the judging panel which have to make the decision.

Yes, he lost his balance and his body fell forward.

C/J were some sort of test pilots when R/K made the dance. They where also the ones to demonstrate the dance to the judges.

Zaretskis TOP TEN, not bad would like to see them move up
Kerr's in third THRILLED!!!!!

Dom / Sha got the same treatment like Bel / Ago at Worlds, in both cases 5th place with a fall was a GIFT!!!
Nothing has been decided. It will be a tense competition with mistakes, therefore I think within 2-5 places, it's still opened
