Free dance

Kristin FRASER / Igor LUKANIN Seem to have nice deep edges and flow, really liked their dance spin. Music i had wished it was a little more exciting.
 
As soon as I saw the costumes in the warm-up, I knew Z&V were going to skate to "Carmen". Bizet's ghost must be proud; I do not think that any other composer of grand opera has their music used as much as he does.

I wonder how much smoothness of flow counts with judges, as compared to apparent difficulty of lifts and transitions. Difficulty tends to increase jerkiness of movements. The real art is in making the truly difficult look smooth and natural.
 
Anna CAPPELLINI / Luca LANOTTE I really like the softness they have in their movement. They have a wonderful expression, do feel a bit strange watching them skate to love story after Sale and Pelletier though.

Why ? Are Sale and Pelletier the owners of that music ? You have no idea how much "Love Story" has been skated to in the 70's when the movie came out!
 
The current Russian team on the ice, !st complaint/offense: he has a MULLET, and that last combination looked a little too labored and like they had problems for it.
 
Was looking up too many things to catch all of it, but I like R&S's boldness and attack, a sense of command of the ice, fearlessness.
 
Ekaterina RUBLEVA / Ivan SHEFER seemed to skate well however their program is not very unique.they skated very close together though which was good.

Of course skaters always re use music and i would never think S&P own that music i just kept remembering them when the music was playing.
 
What the _______?

What is with the low score and the two point deduction, they performed that free skate all through the GP and they recieved no deductions. Lousy judges.

6th place with another group to go?!?!! That is a load of crap!!!
 
*sigh* There must have been an illegal element in there somewhere. Sasha and Roman can't catch a break this season, can they?

A 2 point deduction and a low score clearly the judges are ___-_________

As a former competitor myself and someone who read the ISU handbook and the COP manuel in full, I can tell you that there was not illegal move this is a bunch of _______ judges who are trying to be politcal.

No matter, Israel is in the process of sending a formal complaint and protest.

While I am sitting here waiting for the next group to start....or wasting time at work...however you want to look at it...LOL...I decided to look at the skater's bios.

I knew there was a reason why I liked the Kerr's. Sinead was born in Dundee Scotland and that's where my grandmother was from!!!
