Cup of Russia Notes

SD

Ekaterina Bobrova And Dmitri Soloviev Of Russia Perform Their Ice Dance Short Program At The ISU Grand Prix Of Figure- I condemn jury. Cannot believe how could they score Carron and Jost the lowest and placed Riazanova and Tkachenko the 4th? All of the Russians sucked in twizzles it was a total disapointment and they were all dancing very apart from each other in all of the footworks (including Bobrova and Soloviev). They were all over the place. At least french gave a clean and polished one.
- Bobrova and Soloviev made some great moves, they were delivering the quality. It seems like this SD is progressing and Ekaterina was looking flawless and sexy. But miss of synchronization was everywhere. Deserved to be 3rd. They've entered  the pattern sequences with a deep edge and speed.
- My sentimental favorites Weaver and Poje should have been ranked higher they were impeccable as always. They have maintained their speed and their energy level was so high. I simply love this program.
- What a shame on that almost fall! Meryl always loses her enthuisiasm because she is a very competitive person but she did a great job by covering it.

Top 3 was predictable

- Meryl and Charlie were better in the SA but they got ther SB. See, thats one of the things I don't like in judging system. When you compare both of their performances this season they were much faster and polished in SA. These times you realize how judges can effect ranking apart from whether a teams accomplishment of a performance fulfills all of the requirements in  terms of every component or not.
- As for the Weaver and Poje, they really need to edit the ending and combine last 2 lifts to make a long one in order to give you the sentiment that seems to be lacking in that straight line lift. It would be legendary if the could just make the straight line lift and end it with that rotational lift to make it a long combination lift then make those amazingly enchanted passionate movements in the last 6 seconds.
I always prefer to see 2 short lifts and a long lift instead of 4 short lifts. In someways they seem to be discontinious and feels like they divide the program.
- In my opinion Bobrova and Soloviev don't even deserve a bit to go to the finals that I can even prefer the British. Capellini and Lanotte or Ilinykh and Katsalapov should have made it to the finals instead of them. Their only luck was to be in a grand prix where no strogh competitor existed. ISU really need to divide and distribute couples to grand prix events more carefully
