Thank you for posting the video links Kutien.

Zimmerman and Steuer make a rather handsome pair on the boards, don't they? (Yes, I am that shallow!)

great skate for Kavaguti & Smirnov! Perhaps the small collision on the twist is what may keep them from 70 pts.

Kavaguti and Smirnov's program is gorgeous! Really showing the youngsters of the previous group how it's done.

Wow, I really liked that from Denney and Frazier. I think that was the first time I'd seen their SP this season, although I've seen their LP a couple of times and like it.

Very nice from Den/Fraz. Look out S/K. Shocking to see steuer on the boards. Wish I had a binoc cam to get a nice pic of him and Zimmerman :p. I don't know what else to say. Loved it. Interesting ending on fw. Very different.
