Dance - Compulsory Dance - Rhumba

Expectations

I dont know if I was expecting too much, but I thought that they, along with Davis/White, would be sitting directly behind the heavy hitters.

I just found this interesting thing. The following is the Euros' scores.
http://www.isufs.org/results/ec2007/SEG007.HTM

All European teams scored higher or very close to their Euros' CD marks. The NA teams so far have not had the luck to score close to their 4cc marks. Another example of FS judging panel is dominated by Europeans? Unless you can outjump those Euro guys, it's hard to do better in dancing. NA may well just give up on this discipline.

:rofl:
 
You can't compare scores from different CDs. Euros and 4CC both had "Golden Waltz" for their CD. The CD for Worlds is "Rhumba".
 
10 Katherine COPELY / Deividas STAGNIUNAS LTU
Both in black with pink & silver sequins her skirt is just in the back & it's a string skirt
They seem a little far apart at times - her chotcow has a really weak back outside edge on a couple of them
PB 21.14 TES 13.38 PCS 10.08 Tot 23.46 currently 9th
 
another

another pair 2 points higher than their Euro score. Miracles keep going.

Anyway, bedtime. Bye, bye, dancing.
 
11 Xintong HUANG / Xun ZHENG CHN
Her in yellow him in black with yellow collar and outline of deep V neck /
Very weak back outside edge of her chotcow too - much better sense of dance on the easier steps than the last team - nice speed & flow - ok, so they give off a really nice feel to the dance, but I think the steps are a bit lacking technically
PB 34.13 TES 14.58 PCS 11.03 Tot 25.61 currently 7th
 
12 Kristin FRASER / Igor LUKANIN AZE
Her in bright light orange with dark brown or black chiffon underskirt him in black /
She has a funny bent forward upper body on the back edge of the chotcow, they're a bit far apart at times /
PB 32.75 TES 14.35 PCS 13.72 Tot 28.07 currently 6th
 
13 Nathalie PECHALAT / Fabian BOURZAT FRA
Her in bright light red with string skirt, him in red shirt & white pants
A bit of slip/balance check on the steps just before the chotcow on 1st part of 1st pattern / 2nd pattern her chotcaw was almost a flat on the one coming toward me /
BP 32.38 TES 15.33 PCS 13.26 Tot 28.59 currently 6th

I am not at all surprised they are behind F/S and K/N at this point. V/M not only had the bad luck of the skate order draw, but this is their first year at Worlds, the most conservative of all of the competitions in ice dance all year. The CD has also been the weakest part of the comp for them all year. To see them less than two points behind these higher-ranked teams, with their strengths, the OD and the FD to go is a good sign in my book.
 
14 Albena DENKOVA / Maxim STAVISKI BUL
Her in dayglo pink with pearlized sequins on bodice, him in black /
Pattern is right end to end - excellent speed & flow - nice sense of the dance - no doubt in my mind that they're in 1st right now / on replay it looks like on one of the 3 turns they didn't quite turn at exactly the same time (I'm probably being overly picky here, but there's not a lot in this dance to separate the top teams)
PB 41.05 TES 18.76 PCS 18.66 Tot 37.42 currently 1st
 
exactly my thinking rain; I think they are in good position here; so are W/P for their first worlds-- top 20 I'd say
 
15 Tanith BELBIN / Benjamin AGOSTO USA
Her in mostly white with with pink & big ruffle skirt, him in white shirt & black pants
It felt a little cautious to me - like they were being very careful about getting the steps right and not really dancing it like they should have - also a little slow. Not that it wasn't good but I'm trying to find anything I can that will help separate the top teams /
PB 44.00 TES 18.52 PCS 18.65 Tot 37.17 currently 2nd
 
These scores seem pretty good to me, certainly compareable to the high scores this season. Why the negative attitudes?
 
16 Laura MUNANA / Luke MUNANA MEX
Both in black her with bit of pink underskirt /
Back outside edge of chotcow is almost flat and maybe even a little wavey on the 2nd one / they had a nice feel for the music /
PB 27.85 TES 11.68 PCS 8.62 Tot 20.30 currently 15th
