Big Fall by the Americans!

No injuries but they were ahead of the 2nd and 3rd Canadian teams going in.

If they get ahead of the Canadians after that, something is wrong

They come 3rd, which is still outrageously high.

That's the biggest oops I've ever seen in ice dance.

I am very happy to see how difficult it is to make up ground in ice dance.

Well that's a good start!

(And evidence my expertise comes from 3 nights watching the competition in the past 4 years )

Still, the whole artistic performance was affected afterwards.

When did Ice Dance get rid of the 3 dances? I remember Vancouver being 3 dances. Was it because of the "Team" event?

I flipped to NBC for the Russians (looking for hockey) and they weren't too enthused on the Russians either. Basically too much unnecessary arm movements, face to face skating and few crossovers is what the colour lady said on there.

Are you perhaps thinking of the non-judged performance they do for fun at the end of the Olympics?

They should give Mr. McDavid a ring. I hear he's pretty good at crossovers.

There used to be a compulsory dance where everyone danced the same routine. They didn't have it in Sochi.

I’m failing this American couple just for choosing to dance to Coldplay.
