I am getting impatient with their inconsistencies

Ice Dance FD - 2014 European Championships

It begins...
Yes, it was very close!
That actually ended up costing them as they only received a level 2 on the DiSt. A level 3 would have given them the win.hwell:
And *this* is I/K's real problem. Not that mistakes happen but that she just gives up (and he often loses his focus) when it does, instead of fighting on. This is not the first time this was the case.
But imagine she fought on, got Lv3 steps and won. People would go crazy over bad judging, Russian politics and so on and so forth.

Many congratulations to the medalists!!! Beyond thrilled for Anna and Luca -- really thought that the Russians would pull off the win. Is Coomes and Buckland's bronze medal the first European medal in ice dance for Great Britain?
Can't wait to see the videos!

is it sure for now? I hope so, because they are fresh, well-skilled and a potential material for future champs, but I'm afraid of Russian fed and its decisions sometimes...And when we talk about Victoria and Ruslan they need just better choreos which help them form their own style as a dancers
Great Britain used to dominate Ice Dance for many years and would sometimes grab all three medals at Europeans, IIRC!
(In recent history, Kerrs got the bronze at Europeans)

LOL at a judge giving them a 10.00 and a judge giving them 7.75 for Choreography.Also a judge gave C/L 6.75 for Choreography.
... so I assume I'd get your vote if I called for no more secret judging?!?

Great Britain swept the Ice Dance podium between 1954 and 1958 and had many other medals in later years as well.
Torvill/Dean were 4 times European champions.
Kerrs got two bronze medals (2009 and 2011).
Huh? They have skated their program extremely well until the mistakes on the twizzles.

I just checked the results and I am doing my happy dance for Anna and Luca, so happy for them!
Beautiful looking podium. Congrats!

One judge gave Ilinykh/Katsalapov 8.25, Capellini/Lanotte 7.50 for skating skills. Maybe he or she is really low scoring judge so she/he don't have fault but Coomes/Buckland's lowest score is 7.50. I hope he or she is not really thinking Coomes/Buckland got better skating skills than Capellini/Lanotte.

I was thinking about that during the end of their program, when the BEsp commentator said "continue as if nothing happened" and my thoughts went from
- "yeah, right! forget it, it's over!" to
- "wait, could it still be?" and then
- "no way, the judges wouldn't want this PR nightmare, the leaders after SD being perfect, and being overtaken by a pair that fell".
So I was very surprised that they only lost by 1.1 points.
But then, I don't have the technical knowledge to judge levels. Aaah, ignorance can be such bliss sometimes

clearly you didnt watch their FD
their NHK scores have nothing to do with the whole season

Correct me if I am wrong, but I think that judges are displayed in different random order for each skater.

I doubt they'll pull a "Wagner" on R/T
they have not even won a GP gold nor a European medal
hopefully S/Z punched their ticket to Sochi
One week after that they got silver medal over Pechalat/Bourzat at their home GP (TEB)

* EDIT: In Ice Dance! (I claim to be able to differenciate between a level 1 spin and a level 4 - on a good day!
I am 100% positive S/Z are going to Sochi after this. Beautiful skating, really loved them today.
Victoria is stunning
