Warm Up Group Two
5 Alexandra Zaretski/Roman Zaretski ISR (14th) 30.88
seethru ballgown in offwhite
he has a shiny vest with blacktails
Labored and kind of scrambly
lots of trouble keeping the leg still in position in the attitude turn
I'd have had it below W&P
6 Madison Chock/Greg Zuerlein USA (13th) 28.76
simple deep bluestrapless gown
he in black tails, tux shirt
slight stumble on a turn into a dip
light, waltzy feeling good crisp stepping
attititude turn somehow awkward
7 Federica Faiella/Massimo Scali ITA (8th) 35.37
IMO particularly unappetizing grey and pink feathered hemmed dress
skirt, other than the pink feathers is gray feathers
they knew the steps, but heavy. maybe due to the heavy, distracting skirt
No significant errors
8 Jana Khoklova/Sergei Novitski RUS (5th) 36.30
bright red flamenco ish dress on Jana. wide raggy pseudo gloves
Sergei in white the collar looks separate Odd no shirt
and some Liberace styling to his white jacket
some legline issues and maybe nervousness in 1st iteration
Got better as it went along. Deep dips.
height difference didn't help
crisp stepping though
9 Tanith Belbin/Benjamin Agosto USA (3rd) 38.33
Elegant strapless white gown, elbow length gloves. gold edging on top
Ben in white tails, pants. Clean shaven!
Best of the bunch
her free foot position seemed odd in the dips
first bit tighter than the last bit
Lovely dance, deservedly first
about the same score as V&M at TEB
