4 Continents Free Dance & Final Dance Results

You may have heard by now, by Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir withdrew after completing a few elements, reportedly due to a tightness in her thigh muscles. A Skate Canada team leader claims that it is unrelated to her recent shin surgery.

Canadian Nationals Results

Do keep in mind that National Championships, especially Canada's, tend to have inflated scoring. That said, based off protocols and word of mouth, it sounds like some skaters really stepped up to the occasion and I am curious to see some of these performances when they surface on youtube.

NHK Trophy - Short Dance

*Disclaimer: I am not, nor do I claim to be an expert on ice dancing. It is by far the discipline that I am least knowledgeable about. That said... here are my thoughts on the first ever short dance in Senior Grand Prix history! =)

 Turoczi / Major (Hungary): I thought they were skating a bit slowly and were very cautious. Twizzles ended up getting messy and the unison in the footwork wasn't very good. 15.81 TE 16.87 PC = 32.68 Total


Yu/Wang (China): Nice flow across the ice. Their twizzles were pretty good, albeit with slightly off unison. I really enjoyed their program. Hopefully they will continue to improve over time.  22.85 TE 20.65 PC = 43.50 Total


Coomes/Buckland (Great Britain): Good speed and I really liked their opening lift.  They seem to have an ease about them that makes them pleasant to watch. Twizzles were alright.  22.36 TE 21.16 PC = 43.52 Total


 Reed/Reed (Japan): Chris has a weird mustache... guess it is part of the costume. Cool opening lift, but they  skated a little slowly. Big problems on the twizzles. They had the best footwork so far though, I thought. 21.86 TE 23.04 PC = 44.90 Total


Ilinkykk/Katsatpov ( Russia): Very nice twizzles. I really didn't like the music. The lift in the middle of the program was great and they had nice footwork. 29.79 TE 27.10 PC = 56.89 Total



Mysliveckova/Novak (Czech Republic): The first half was really folk style, not necessarily my favorite thing.  Good footwork,  bad unison on their twizzles though. 22.07 TE 23.13 PC = 45.20 Total


Shibutani/Shibutani (United States): Maia's extension is lovely! Really nice twizzles, especially the last set. Best footwork so far, but then a random fall (apparently Alex got caught in Maia's dress) and a small shred of her dress was hanging on by a thread. Beautiful lifts. They were lovely, but for the fall. Hopefully they can make up ground for a medal still. 28.57 TE 26.11 PC - 1.00 Deductions = Total 53.68


 Weaver/Poje (Canada): Really can't stand At Last... anyway... smooth skating and the ending lift was nice, but overall they bored me. :-/  31.15 TE 27.54 PC = 58.69 Total


Cappellini/Lanotte (Italy): Again, not loving the song. Bah. Footwork was fine, and the twizzles had a little bit of unison issues, but weren't bad overall.  Her skirt is kind of distracting though, especially during the twizzles. 27.57 TE 28.11 PC = 55.68 Total


Davis/White (United States): AMAZING twizzles, and the lifts were good. They really seemed like they were enjoying themselves out there, which is awesome to see. Overall, they were definitely as good as they are hyped up to be. 32.28 TE 34.69 PC = 66.97 Total
