her, VERY nice rose and pink dress with illusion midrif. him, black overall white shirt, no tails!
messy twizzle had to put her foot down in the middle. His chasses suck, very sloppy and turns are messy. poor unison. mohawks labored. small patterns. scratchy edges. lots of ice spray. Decent speed, but not pushing to the boards. They were rushed rather than fast.
But OH, he's fun to look at!
13.0 + 10.88 = 23.88
I'm with the judges on this one. But boy, oh boy, that guy is movie-star handsome.
16 BUL DENKOVA Albena STAVISKI Maxim
her UGLY olive dress with pink flowers. Him PURPLE velvet with olive sleeves and capey chiffon wingy thingy. OH GOD HELP THEM!
her mohgawks leany but very clean. nice sizzle in the ice though. good unison nice speed pushed to the boards. him VERY clean feet. NICE waltz character. Good speed. GOSH, this couple has nice feet! Lots of command.
18.60 (ye ha!) + 19.05 = 37.65 WHOO HOOO! Into SECOND!
I don't know a lot about ice dance, but before the scores came up, I felt like they should be above BelAgu and damn, the judges agreed! This was right. They were very very good. They are, however in a dead heat with 3 and 4th place... eith only 0.3 separating them.
17 CAN WING Megan LOWE Aaron
gold, long dress. black pants white shirt for him
I don't like what she does with her upper body. She leans in weird ways. He has nice chasses though , very even and crisp. good speed to the boards. nice twizzle her. mohawks could be better good clean steps. OK character, nothing to write home about but not bad. her edges are not secure though. Unison okay.
16.27 + 15.15 = 31.42
This is a realistic placement considering their strengths and weaknesses, I think.
18 GBR KERR Sinead KERR John
him black tails white tie; her white dress long in back. pretty and understated.
her messy twizzle. poor unison. look rushed. small pattern, pushing very hard to get to the boards but not making it. couple lacks power. probably poor stroking technique. They are mostly on the ice rather than in it. As the dance goes on, he gets considerably less crisp. She never was particularly crisp. she HOPS her turns. and they never get very close together.
but another boy who's pretty enough to eat.
16.01 + 15.57 = 31.58
I would put their tech more around 14.5 or 15 than in the low 16s.
19 ITA FUSAR POLI Barbara MARGAGLIO Maurizio
AND THE CROWD GOES WILD.
OH MY GOD! the costumes are so bad, I gagged when I looked up. Her hot pink with chiffon skirt long and cut outs. HIM black overall with HOT PINK shirt and flowery belt! HOW could they do that to Mauritzio!! EWWWW deep V and a shaved chest.... not a good look for Mauritzio.
nice and close together. good waltz character. decent tizzles. nice dance-y, smooth mohawks. good chasses from him good unison. nice push. good speed to the boards. many of his turns are kind of hoppy. VERY little ice spray though.
Not as good as some, better thanothers. not as good as they were in their prime
19.10 + 19.66 = 38.78
IN FIRST!!!
OH MY GOD! WHAT A TRAVESTY! This is just WRONG. They weren't that good. They really weren't!!!!!! NO NONONONONONONONONO!!!
