Ice Dance - short dance

[Macassar88]

They were doing really well before that. Twizzles were excellent and Rhumba looked good.

I can't believe Bobrova fell too!

 

[Mrs. P]

shame about the fall, they were skating better than they had previously this season IMO.

I agree. I noticed improvement in their edges...much deeper.

They were...

 

[Mrs. P]

Ouch, they're behind H/D! Crazy.

 

[jcoates]

Wow behind the Hubbell and Donohue.

 

[Macassar88]

Wow... they might not even be in the second group going into the free... FAIL

Could Madison and Zach be in the top 10 after the short dance?

ETA I guess so! Yay H/D!

I just woke up and wanted to check, havent seen any videos
sort of a curse ? here's hoping I/K this is a blessing in disguise for them
hope I wont jinx them.

that's interesting, their timing looked a bit off to me, but I think you are much more knowledgable than I about ice dance.

The worst thing about Bobrova falling is that Kustarova will have another reason to blame them not getting a medal instead of wondering what technically and artistically they have to work on.

Actually with just 9 couples left, they will be at least 10th after the SD. And the couple on now made mistakes, so I say they'll be at least 9th.

Their timing is always a bit off, but it was much better that it has been previously...

Lloyd bad twizzles

 

[Macassar88]

Riazanova and Tkachenko are up next. Hopefully they don't have any mistakes. They have one of if not the best rhumba sections (not the pattern dance, but the choreography) in the competition.

 

[FlattFan]

B/S are done, I'm afraid. They were pushed really hard the past 2 seasons and nothing's panned out.
Can't believe their ranking went from mid teen in 2010 to threatening for a medal in 2011. Truth is they are never that good, and were pushed too hard to be that good. Oh well.

As Mrs P noted their edges in their rhumba patterns looked good to the naked eye and the twizzles were complete. They lost energy and speed after the fall.

Yes and deservedly so

 

[Mrs. P]

So sad that I couldn't see H/D's SD. They're still in first after 10 couples!

Oh and P/J score. Ouch. They won't qualify.

white pants...hmm....risky.
