Music: Tristan and Isolde
- I love her braid but hate the rest of this ensemble
- They are very athletically built skaters
- Nice speed in and out of the curve lift
- This is very 1990s ice dance, very high drama
- Interesting counter-balance move, the exit was very scary though, I thought he was going to tep on her head or hand or something
- He falls on the twizzle
- Interesting twizzle variations
- Kind of sloppy overall
Total Score: 45.71 (SD) + 58.04 (FD) = 103.75
2) Kristina Gorshkova & Vitali Butikov (RUS)
Music: Tango
- These are equally heinous costumes, just as in the short
- They start right off with their dance spin
- Everything is very choppy and stiff
- Pretty good twizzle set
- I don't understand these costumes at all
- This whole thing is very messy
- Very slow through the footwork
- I just can't get into this program because nothing is crisp and clean, its all very muddled
- This high drama nonsense is very 1990s Ice Dance
Total Score: 48.77 (SD) + 69.72 (FD) = 118.48
3) Xintong Huang & Xue Zheng (CHN)
Music: Libertango
- Slight unison issue in twizzles
- A few awkward transitions the the big lift
- Some of their transitions are a bit strange
- Very slow in the dance spin
- That haircutter lift is very common, lacks creativity
- This program just isn't doing it for me today, there was no spark
Total Score: 50.71 (SD) + 75.98 (FD) = 126.69
4) Madison Chock & Evan Bates (USA)
Music: Prelude in E Minor by Chopin
- This is a very romantic program
- The technique and the connection between them has improved with every event
- She has fantastic upper body carriage as does he
- The height difference bothers me less and less each time I see it
- That lift with Evan in an arabesque is fantastic
- I still don't know if I like this muzak feel in the middle section
- Nice speed
- Same speed in and out of the straight line lift, very good
- They get way too close on the twizzles and Madi sits it down, too bad about that
- I love the speed and positions of the rotational lift
- Her upside down camel position is very nice in the dance spin
- Aside from the freak twizzle fall, a very nice outing for them
- I'm obsessed with her hair, I have no idea how she gets it like that, its's very Romeo and Juliet
Total Score: 52.01 (SD) + 78.93 (FD) = 130.94
5) Elena Ilinykh & Nikita Katsalapov (RUS)
Music: Ave Maria
- She always crosses herself going onto the ice
- They carry very nice speed
- I love how deep they get into the knees
- I'd prefer her hair down and flowing
- I really like the twizzles facing one another, it's nice visually
- Sometimes he looks really unsteady lifting her, but she's so small
- I love the position on that dance spin, but the speed is nearly gone by the end
- The pace is so fast, that they always look a little wild by the end trying to keep up
- I do believe that was better than at NHK though
Total Score: 58.17 (SD) + 82.15 (FD) = 140.32
6) Anna Cappellini & Luca Lanotte (ITA)
Music: La Strada
- This program was gorgeous at Skate Canada, if they just do it the same way
- This character piece looks lovely on them
- I love that headtap lift, it's very unique
- Very good speed throughout
- That hand in the crotch lift is just awkward all around
- That straight line lift takes so much strength
- Tanith lift, I don't know the man has any idea where he's going when she is right in his face like that
- They'll get very high marks for that skate
Total Score: 64.62 (SD) + 89.76 (FD) = 153.76
7) Nathalie Pechalat & Fabian Bourzat (FRA)
Music: The Feeling Begins, Passion, In The Garden
- Very nice opening lift
- I still don't htink that the costuming looks World Class, but I don't know how else you make somebody look like a Mummy
- He is fantastic, I could just watch him all day
- This is a very complete program, it tells a story from beginning to end and they carry the theme throughout
- I don't think you could get more of a contrast from thsi to Virtue & Moir
- All of the music goes together so well, nothing is choppy
- They have fantastic speed, I think the home crowd is really propelling them and this is a piece that the audience can really get into
- And they end the way they started
- They loved that at home and they should be proud
Total Score: 66.52 (SD) + 98.04 (FD) = 164.56
8) Tessa Virtue & Scott Moir (CAN)
Music: Funny Face
- They are the class of the field
- This piece is classic Virtue & Moir
- A little problem with that overhead lift, choppy transitions
- They make this look so easy
- Its so classic old Hollywood
- They take a lot of risk with these lifts
- Very nice, clean program
- They're very happy with that
