Compulsory Dance

[LaLola]

I hope Tanith and Ben can stay in second after the CD...Would be very good for their self-confidence and they could go a little bit more relaxed into the OD...

try this

It's an alternate page and is playing well for me. Picture is more in sync with the sound but the quality is a bit grainier.

Thank you so much! I'll take it!

 

[LeCygne]

Yay, looks like Tanith/Ben did well. Not much of a lead over Virtue/Moir, but I'll take it! I really hope the Russians deserved 40+...

 

[yelyoh]

and the russian feed keeps freezing every five seconds.

 

[london_calling]

I'm quite nervous for Davis & White now.

 

[Hsuhs]

Tessa and Scott's TES is OK, 20.48.

 

[herios]

I fear that there's dirty judging afoot again! IMO there is NO WAY that D&S should be ahead of V&M. I just don't get it. They were sloppier and much farther apart. Boo.
(also, Tanith looks pissed)

At least Koh/ Nov got dinged all right.
There is a royal battle shaping up, among the injured teams who are coming out roaring.

 

[LaLola]

D/S had good expression, but their pattern was very small...

 

[rain]

Looks like the injured list is doing just fine so far. The most interesting thing is that it appears K/N have been once again relegated to the status of 2nd Russian team. The current top three are virtually neck and neck. The OD will be fun.

How the next group places should be fascinating.

D/S-40.77 1st

omg sequinsgalore beats me everytime!!! What feed are you using??

I am watching the danish Eurosport on tv

 

[skatingbc]

I would be really surprised if any in this final flight pulled into the top three.

 

[Alicja]

Should have been a lot closer at the top. I actually liked V/M best and preferred B/A to D/S but the competition's not over yet.

 

[casken]

Judges really seemed to go for D&S's interpretation and performance, which I agree with.

 

[figuristka]

Well the French loved V/M and they clearly deserved above the others though as i said missed B/A. Don't see how the judges can possibly miss that.

 

[Hikaru]

Thank you so much! I'll take it!

Me too!!!

 

[rosee]

So I did get up early and I have to say, V&M were robbed big time!

 

[SailorGalaxia518]

I think the only ones out of this final group that can be in the top 3 is Davis and White

From what I understood of the French commentating, they said that the technical was good but they (K/N) never got into the mood of the Paso. I don't think it's them being designated as the 2nd team, but that they might actually be the 2nd team.

I thought Tessa and Scott's performance was really good though. I thought they expressed the mood of the Paso really well.

Update

The danish commentators thought their timing was off...
