[color=green:1b89fd6975]Pairs, SP[/color:1b89fd6975]

[color=red:1b89fd6975]1. Petrova/Tikhonov
Sarabande
3T excellent, 2Tw, 3thrR excellent, I wish they would do it always like this in competition, lift strong, little out of sync at the end of the sbs spin, but that was the only mistake I saw, and it was minor.[/color:1b89fd6975]

2. Obertas/Slavnov
Coloratura
I still think this program doesn't suit them. 3T she w/hand, 3thrF good, 3Li difficult one armed entry and change of position, 2Tw high, sbs spin in the middle shortly out of sync, but went back together.

3. Mukhortova/Trankov
Russian Fantasy
3T solid, 3thrR covers distance, nice, 2Tw, 3Li one arm/changes of position, he stumbles in the sbs footwork, death spiral w/change of hold. The best I've seen this program this season.

4. Shestakova/Lebedev
Nutcracker
3T (he rotated slower than she did), 3thrR, 2Tw, 3Li not as difficult as Mukhortova/Trankov's

5. Borzenkova/Chuviliaev
3thrR strong, 3T she fell, 2Tw, 3Li one arm/change of position, rest ok, but the fall cost them.

[color=orange:1b89fd6975]Ice Dance, OD[/color:1b89fd6975]

1. Nakva/Kostomarov
Cha Cha, Rhumba, Samba
She stumbles (I guess it would have counted as a fall under COP) in the opening moves, diagonal footwork slow he has a wobble, spin looked laboured, overall not great performance

2. Domnina/Shabalin
Rhumba, Salsa
Very soft in the Rhumba, lively in the Samba. Good flow in the sbs footwork, lost speed in after the change of foot in the combo spin, but everything else very nice. To me, they were the best today.

3. Khokhlova/Novitski
good speed and flow throughout, Combospin at the exit almost missed their grip, but it wasn't too obvious, nice lifts and good character

4. Romanovskaja/Grachev
Rhumba, Cha Cha, Samba (?)
Lost speed at the end of the sbs but everything else well done. Mabye lacked the confidence and expression of the top three teams. Move up from 5th to 4th.

5. Orlova/Novikov
Cha Cha, Rhumba, Samba
Not a good skate. Sbs out of unison, then she falls but he held her up (not on an element, but still an obvious mistake), crawling in the diagonal. Drop from 4th to 5th.

6. Rubleva/Shefer
Mambo, ? , ?
Well done, spin a bit slow, rotational lift with change of position

7. Gmyzina/Lobanov
Cha Cha, Rhumba, Samba
Energetic performance, nice rotational lift with changes of position, he has a little stumble in the sbs footwork

2A^3T good, 2S he, 3S she, 2Tw only, 3thR good, 3thS good, lifts good as usual, sbs spin in the middle out of sync, lost speed a the end. Finally they're Russian Champions.[/color:06cc723214]

2. Obertas/Slavnov
La Traviata and other Verdi operas
1A she, 2A he, 3Tw high but a messy catch, 3Fth scratchy, difficult lifts, sbs spin cut short, 3Rth w/hand, mhm, not their best

2nd Piano Concerto Rachmaninov
3T^2T very nice, 3Tw a bit messy, 2A good, lifts good with variations of positions, 3Rth step out, 3Sth nice, last list a bit slow, he sells the program, well done! They easily could have been second tonight, but of course, they weren't.

(listed in final ranking)

1. J. Plushenko
Godfather
4T-2R, 3T, 3R, 3A-2T, 3Lz, 3A, combospin, fly camel slow, cist, 3F, 3S, slst energetic, flying camel-donut, flying sit change of edge, big smile. Lots of energy, well with the music, good job.
Just in case, Plush marks
5.9 5.9 5.9 5.9 5.9 5.9 5.9 5.9 5.9
5.9 5.9 5.9 5.9 6.0 6.0 6.0 6.0 6.0

2. I. Klimkin
Matrix
3A-3T, 4T-2T, 3F, flying camel, 3F-2T, 3R, camel in two directions, com bospin, cist, 3S beautiful, cantilever, 2Lz, sest, combospin. Pumps his fist. Great comeback. He looked a bit cautious throughout, focused on his jumps, but he did them!

3. S. Dobrin
The Mask of Zorro
3A, 3Lz-3T ur, 3S-3T, 3R, fly camel, cist, sit-sit change of edge, 3F, combosipin, slst, 2A, 3Lz, combospin. Step by step went trough it, but well done, clean and nice.

4. A. Uspenskij
3A-3T, 3A, 3R^3R, 3Lz, 3T, fly camel, slst slow, 3F2T2R off balance, 2A, spin, went with great speed into his circular footwork and then fell, but was right back, 3S, combospin, a bit tired now, sit-sit nice position. Great job. He doesn't like to skate last and had to wait so long, but he really pulled out a strong performance. Too bad for the fall. It was close between him and Dobrin. I would have given it to Uspenski, because his overall quality is better (esp program components) and he had two 3A.

5. M. Magerovskij
3A shaky, 3Lz-2T, 3R^3R, slst, stops because his shoe lace was open, had to retie the lace, then took a while to find the place to continue. But the break didn't help him too much, he still slowed down and looked heavy. 3S-2T, 3F, comb ospin, 2A, 2Lz, fly sit, cist, combospin slow

7. A. Lutaj
3A fell, 3A good, 3Lz-3T, 3F, 3R, cist slow, easy, 3Lz, 3S, 2A, combospin rather simple, sit-up spin recovered nicely after the opening fall. Very happy. Coach Mishin is happy, too!
