Zhulin, I think. They're actually Russian and used to compete for Russia.

I wondered about that, thanks for the info.

 

[Mirunna]

Is it just me or Isabella Tobias had a....lets say strange reaction when she saw the scores?

 

[Spun Silver]

Yes, thanks. I'm going to take a bit of a break here after the Chinese team and come back for group 3. I'm getting sore in multiple places and there's a long way to go!

Ralph/Hill did well for their Worlds debut.

I didn't expect much since they are Canada's #4 going to Worlds for the first time.

[katia]

Canadians had low TES

 

[Mirunna]

Lorenza's Tosca dress is very similar to Navka's Tosca dress!

 

[from the sidelines]

I thought Ralph/Hill had a great debut. Congratulations, and well done.

 

[Spun Silver]

Do i hear Maria Callas in the murder scene from Tosca? (Trying to exercise a few feet from my computer.) Bonus points!

 

[katia]

yes, italians

 

[paircheck]

B/C not clean and polish

 

[twizzgirl]

Ralph/Hill have been underscored IMO. they deserved a score of 82-84 ...

 

[katia]

I also think R/H as well as the pair from Azerbaijan should be higher. Anyway R/H will be in 13 place which is very good for the first time.

Good for you! I put on my workout clothes, but have not managed to pry my (possibly lazy) self from the pc... maybe during resurfacing break, while sprinting to fetch snacks.

 

[Spun Silver]

LOL, I do that too. It helps to keep weights right next to the computer.

I like H/Z, the Chinese team, but I'd like to know why they scored higher than Z/S (Ajerbaijanis). Huang/Zheng seemed pretty ho-hum to me.

Universal Sports on TV is recapping the SD right now... Tanith Belbin is doing a fantastic job during the SD replays of the top two teams explaining what the tech caller might have seen in the levels and such.

The guy they have in "Terry's Spot" though is a total skating dunce lol Peter schooled him on the "background info" yesterday. I'm thinking if you're going to have someone do that sort of thing, make sure they can fact check so that the skaters turned commentators don't have to correct him.
