No such luck, Joe. There are always toreador suits. However the roses are generally pinned to the side of the ladies' heads where they look like bizarre tumors, rather than between the teeth.

However, I love the paso and have seen quite enough waltzes this year. I'm looking forward to it.

I don't have IN because we Europeans get blacked out. Anywhere else ? I'm checking the Russian sports channel now but it's not on yet.

I didn't for the moment, maybe later when the best groups are on. In the meantime, could anyone watching IN do PBP if they have time ?

I'll give it a shot.

The Polish couple is about to start. Black bolero suit, red cummerbund on the guy. Red dress, wide red & black ruffle skirt. Good speed, shallow edges on the first iteration. a litter better edging on the second iteration. Not great unison.

score 21.86, 7th place

Weintraub & Brown ISR
Modified Clown outfits (half red & half black vertically) The girl has a upside crown cutout on the bodice. Timing and unison very suspect. He is noticeably a better skater than she is.

19.87, into 12th.

Deutch & Roberts GBR

Her dress is a black random strappy number, skirt lined with red. Two wide spaced straps (red edges) on one shoulder, one on the other. He has a black jumpsuit with random red rags. Noticeably better than previous couple. Sharp steps & decent timing.

26.37, into first

Aronov & Pierogov LTU
He's in a black v neck jump suit. She's in a bright purple & black trimmed Juliet outfit, more of less.
Sloppy and flat on the scissors, shallow edges on the crossrolls. Timing not bad.

21.80 9th place

Please forgive spelling. Next group about to warmup.

Warm up group 5

Tarrah HARVEY / Keith GAGNON CAN

He's a very blond bull fighter. The sparklies on his matador suit are purple. She has a black dress strategically ripped to show a bright purple bra. I'm not loving this as much as the Brits.
However, 27.53 points and into first.

Nikola VISNOVA / Lukas CSOLLEY SVK

He has a red shirt, black vest, black pants. She has a red underdress with black illusion over it & for the sleeves-short of paso meets polka style.

Their edges are shallow, and they are noticeably slow.
22.76 into 7th place

Lorenza ALESSANDRINI / Simone VATURI ITA

She's in a typical flamenco dress with spaghetti straps-it's rather like Pechalat's this year, only less so, so to speak. He's in a black vee neck jumpsuit.

This was a very crisply executed dance. I liked it. Good timing. Junior edging, but still very good.

27.81 and into first place

Oksana KLIMOVA / Sasha PALOMÄKI FIN

He's in a white business shirt and black pants with a dark red tie that is about 5 inches too short for him. She's in a red halter dress. It's an asymmetrical skirted number slashed down to the belly button.

To me they seem to have good speed, but their steps aren't sharp. She has pretty good toe point though.

22.44 into 11th place.

End of group.

Thank you sooooo much, Dorispulaski. I had very nearly given up hope on anything other than the ISU results page.

Come on Shibutanis, Hubbells, C/Z and most of all F/R !!!
Why can't you find a stream when you need one ?

Charlene GUIGNARD / Guillaume PAULMIER FRA
he in black long sleeved sequinned t shirt and pants. She in a black rip away dress, showing a silver spangly bra.

24.56 into 5th



Maia SHIBUTANI / Alex SHIBUTANI USA

Boy are they small compared to the others.
Alex in a white shirt with the closure edged in black.
Maia in black lace over white, a very fierce little Spanish lady.

Good timing, speed and unison

29.71 into 1st.

Dora TUROCZI / Balazs MAJOR HUN

Black fish net tear away dress, red trim. He in white shirt, black bolero vest, red cummerbund, black pants, with a black string tie.

Leg unison not there. Not great.

22.23 into 14th

Terra FINDLAY / Benoit RICHAUD FRA
She's in a very flashy gold flamenco outfit with huge dress ruffles. All gold. She's blond, so is he. He has a black suit with odd v shaped trims front and back, and sort of gold holsters on the side of his butt. It's quite a good dance. They don't skate as close to each other as the Shibutanis, but good.

26.82 into 4th

I'll have to watch the rest of this later. Ice is being resurfaced.

I liked both French teams - didn't luv them but they show competitive potential. Look forward to their OD

One Canadian Team looked good also.

The Shibutani's were fine, but I think they must do better for the OD. Their lead is not unbeatable.

That's a huge PB for Chock/Zuerlein if I'm not mistaken... Have they ever scored that high in a CD?

Chock/Zuerlein previous best was 31.23(according isu website) and it seems only Hubells have scored more that score among this field(34.72)

Can anyone tell me what happened to Riazanova and Guerreiro, did they make any big mistake?
