Dance - FD (finals)...wheeee!!!!

[Jasper]

Wow, beatable score. Less than at Europeans.

Denkova/Stavisky (Bulgaria) - currently 5th
Albinoni Adagio

start....

 

[Jennifer Lyon]

N/K lead....but only 2 pts over Grush/Gonch!!!!! Audience booing!!!!! Oh my goodness....

Ooooh, this one's gonna be close!

 

[Jasper]

Wait, did N/K get 197 or 200? Eurosport commentators said they were just 2 points ahead of G/G, but that link is reporting 200.64.

I'm so confused.

 

[Jasper]

Oh, just 2 points ahead of G/G in the FD. I see. I was hoping they just had 197. I doubt they'll give any of the remaining teams the scores to surpass 200.

2 pts above G/G in fd. More overall.

I'm so confused.

2 points in FD and 5 overall.

 

[Frau Muller]

If B/A win, it will be on tech score....cause the five component scores are 'fudge factor,' sorry to say.

Still...maybe B/A could pull out the hat trick.

 

[Frau Muller]

Albena & Max...sorry to be ignoring them...I'm trying to do math on the top prize. Shame on me.

Well, big applause for Albena & Max. No talk from commentators...at end say "Something else! They couldn't have done more to get on podium...but left nothing to be desired there."

Well, if get on podium must knock Grush/Gonch out....

NO - not good enough!!! TWO-pt deductions for extended lifts!!! 3rd overall....

21 NAVKA Tatiana / KOSTOMAROV Roman RUS 2 38.20 1 61.07 1 101.37 1 200.64
20 GRUSHINA Elena / GONCHAROV Ruslan UKR 5 37.39 3 59.29 2 99.17 2 195.85

Sounds like D/S had an exciting performance! I love them. Such a great comeback at this Olympics.

That bad spin in the OD might keep them short of the podium, though.

What are their scores?

 

[Jasper]

Oh, deductions for extended lifts? No medal for D/S. Such a consistently robbed team.

Bulgarians are in 3rd, with 96.03 for FD, 189.53 overall.

starting guitars.....

"razor-sharp start..."

****it through first section! violin music now ****

where the heck is the applause??? OK some now....

***quickening pace...applause in time now****

HUGE applause near end!!! WOWEE!!!

"Some finish!" says Simon. "American fans 'going crackers' at far end."

"She made couple of small errors toward end - not flawless and had to be." "See her in tape - put foot down in middle of twizzle..."

"Make a risky move...not sure it was a wise move...but tech'lly difficult indeed."

Scores - no - not enough. Good tech...3rd FD - 2nd overall so far.

Carnival in Venice

 

[VINLUVSKWAN]

Benjamin Agosto/Tanith Belbin: "Flamenco"
loud cheers amid first lift (circular)
castanets/handclap music: razor-sharp twizzles, footwork
switches to guitar+castanets...cont'd cheers
slower section into violin music
faster tempo music (guitar + handclaps)
music swells...louder cheers
DONE!!!
Lovely unison, fab lines, great speed, extension not as fully extended as Russians, but diff. is slight
No major mistakes, no falls.
Technically fabulous, per Eurosport commentators, who feel their emotional content may have been lacking.
Tanith slightly wobbed (one foot down) during twizzles.
TES=
PCS=47.93
Third in FD, second overall behind N&K
That's it: probable silver, less likely bronze for B&A.
