Me too Manon!

I am so looking forward to their new program. I feel this will be something special :

We want the program to be soft, not so sophisticated," Schoenfelder said. "We just want to show emotions. We are telling our story. We have skated together for 20 years; at the beginning [of the program], we are children, and we want to grow into this day."
"In the beginning of the program, it is kids speaking," Delobel added. "I say, "I want to be a ballerina" and he says, "I want to be a stunt man." Then I say, "I went to dress up." We are talking about what we want to be when we were young."
The program tells the story of their competitive career.

Wow, this sounds lovely! I can't wait to see the program, i'm sure it's really great! And i'm rooting for Isa & Oli too, i hope they can win. I love Tessa & Scott very much as well and hope they'll do great, but they are still so young, they have the future ahead of them, now it should be Isa & Oli's time

Woow that sounds really good! They have a beautiful story behind there program! Thank you Malgosia for sharing!

I hope it doesn't mean the podium is fixed already

Me neither! Thanks for the results!

Tessa and Moir did good if they are in second place! I was hoping that Isabelle and Olivier would have been a bit higher in the ranking! But it's not final yet!

I agree with you! I so so hope for a medal for Isa and Oli! Did any of you watch it live? Are the results "fair"?

Zhulin said "It's all politics"

I uploaded Isa and Oli's CD program it's from British Eurosport:

Delobel & Schoenfelder - 38.01 MB
http://nl.swoopshare.com/file/2277a33709a58c02c09e67d62d27542c/2010+Olys+CD+-+Delobel+%26+Schoenfelder?tags=2010+Olys+CD+-+Delobel+%26+Schoenfelder&lang=nl

The british commentators are giving some good comments so I quess the score was fair...

b.t.w. I got a notification today from Eurosport. Eurosport broadcasted the replay this morning but there will be a second replay this afternnon from 17.00 till 18.00

I've seen part of the repeat of the CD on Eurosport this morning and some videos from fsvids and i don't think Isa & Oli were the best, but i think they deserved to place higher (5th i guess) and i also think they're marks should have been a little higher. I'm afraid the marks they received cut a little bit of their wings and lowered their chances to land on the Olympic podium. I hope they'll do it anyway.

What Zhulin said is unfortunately right imo, V&M, D&W and B&A are all there at the very top of the standings and they received fabulous scores. Tessa & Scott however were really the best last night in my opinion, their speed and interpretation were fantastic. Still i can't complain about Oksana & Maxim beeing first, i liked their Tango Romantica at the Euros very much and i did in Vancouver too. But i think the CD is their strongest dance, i really don't know if they can stay first until the end. I love V&M and i wish them to skate great and win a medal, but i don't think this will be a big problem since the NA couples clearly have the judges's support and at the end of the competitoon i see (at least) 2 of them on the podium. I really fear Isa & Oli walking away empty handed, but i truly hope to be wrong with that

bravo Oksana Domnina and Maxim Shabalin!!!!

Anyone watching live tonight? I will probably tape it!

I'm watching it live tonight. But I have an exam tomorrow... It will be very hard for me. Therefor I decided to watch only last two groups. But I couldn't calculate when I should wake up for that. Because I couldn't find the schedule which shows which skaters will exactly start when. There were this kind of schedules for Worlds and Euros... Can anybody find that???

Edit: Okay okay I found it.

Here is it:

http://www.isuresults.com/results/owg2010/owg10_IceDance_OD_TimeSchedule.pdf

I'll definitely be watching tonight on NBC. Hopefully they show some of the earlier groups in addition to the later groups. Go Meryl and Charlie!!

Tessa & Scott, Meryl & Charlie - BRA-VO!!! Especially Tessa& Scott!! Their OD took my breath away, literally They were amazing, they were fabulous technically and artistically, I felt as if I was in Spain, watching flamenco. Their OD was absolutely a masterpiece. The straightline footwork.... perfect!!
Meryl & Charlie didn't move me that much but they were perfect too, the whole character of the dance was great and I really loved it. As for Oksana&Maxim I do hope they will finish Olympics off the podium. I have no idea what they get so high scores for, I don't like the way they skate. Our commentators also pointed out their technical shortcomings. It all seems to be fixed for me, the scores they get. I would place them at least after Faiella/Scali, who were much better IMO.
Isa & Olivier had a wonderful OD and I love the song they used in the first part but they looked tense to me. It's a pity that they won't medal here But I expected this, the long break must have influenced them. Natalie & Fabianne did really well, I enjoyed their program and agree with their placement. Kerrs were great but didn't look as fresh as they could and they had the twizzle problem again I wish them the best of luck of course And much as I adore them I think Khoklova and Novitzky were better in the OD. But I like the Kerrs more so it's not so bad
Oh, and I wish I had seen the whole competition. I watched the 3 last groups but the folk dance is so much fun that I wish I had seen them all
Fingers crossed for Tessa and Scott, Meryl &Charlie, Isa&Oli and the Kerrs tomorrow!!

I'm not a fan of Tessa/Scott but guess they deserved the first place!
Anyway I love the OD of many couples: Belbin/Agosto, Faiella/Scali, Delobel/Schoenfelder, Pechalat/Bourzat, The Kerr's, Jana/Sergei, The Zaretski's, The Baier's, The Reed's.

I just wait to see the FD!

My mouth got open and my heart stopped beating after the OD of Tessa&Scott!!!!!This is so outstanding,GREAT and breathtaking!!!!!I loved as well Maryl&Charlie,their indian OD is very fine too!!!!!!!I am not a fan of Domnina Shabalin and i guess the idea of their trainer and them to take up such a risky dance for the Olympic season isn't payed off now.They are weaker than north-americans,thats evident;)But they deserve bronze,i'll cheer for that!
The only think that frustrates me is the position of the second russian pair Khokhlova\Novitsy,THESE GUYS DESERVE MUCH MORE!

I'm not usually a fan of Tessa & Scott, but this performance is freaking gorgeous!
I'm also glad that Nathalie and Fabian moved up to a current 7th place and I'm really looking forward to their FD wihch is über amazing IMO.
A little disappointing for Belbin & Agosto who had a near flawless skate, but didn't manage to advance in terms of ranking, good luck tomorrow.
Meryl & Charlie, the Kerrs (shame with the twizzles) were all amazing.

Agree with you - Tessa&Scott were sensational!
I'm really sorry Isa&Oli are out of medal contention - Olympic medal would be such a cherry on top of their skating career...

Out of the current top five teams - I like Meryl/&Charlie's free dance most. The final is gonna be so exciting!!

1. T. Virtue/S.Moir (CAN) - they skate one before last coule. And I thought they couldn't beat the great USA pair... what a mistake, their Flamenco was dynamic, fast, hot, brilliant. I couldn't stop watching. Finally they are that couple whose I remebered from two years ago, !!!!! Today Gold medal gose to them???? I hope so

2. M.Davis/C.White (USA) - I have no doubt for that 2 couples that Tessa and Scott yesterday was great. It's pity for USA, cuz Meryl and Davis had their life's program too. Today will be a hard battle for that cuoples

3. O. Domnian/ M. Shabalin (RUS) - I love that couple but yesterday they not captivated. I love them in classic choice not strange and plucked.

5. F. Faiella/ M. Scali (ITA) - ohh wow. That's the Italian style, I could saw ther everything what was fantastic in Italy. Great style, great performance.

7. N. Pechalat/ F. Bourzat (FRA) - country girl and boy performed by Nathalie and Fabian - Nothing more to say, only imaginations LOL.
