Ah, we have very different definitions. I think it will be most interesting to see where the judges put the Russians in this portion of the contest. If they wanted to push them up for the gold this year, I think this is their best opportunity to do it.

Midline twizzles matched 1st ones fast 2nd not so / music now soft & flowing and some dancing in hold / strt lift with him in spread eagle her going from high to low pos / spin her in catchfoot him in sit then upright and she changes to foot to head / diag steps flow quickly for the 1st part / rot lift white her in catchfoot in front of him / boring dance in my opinion - no passion

So much for that theory. B/A into third and a virtual tie with both the Canadians and the Bulgarians.

Hi Rosaleen. Have you heard what the deductions were for?

Yeah I am surprised the Americans did so well and the Russians did not do better.
I still expect in the free dance the Americans to drop and the Russians to move onto the podium though. We will see.

I'm also a tad surprised as well, particularly by the placement of the Russians. The FD is going to be absolutely killer with the top three teams so. incredibly. close.
Fantastic for V/M beating even the second Russians in the OD. I love their FD most of the entire field this year so I'm hoping they can skate it lights-out and maybe move up one more place.
