Wow! I forgot how much I like the Golden Waltz. It is gorgeous,
romantic Astaire and Rogers kind of skating. The Free Dance has become
so weird of late, full of strange themes, excessive lifting and everyone
doing twizzles. The only way to see actual dancing on ice is in the
Compulsory Dance. I really enjoyed this morning's skaters, thank you
skaters.
- Marie-France Dubreuil & Patrick Lauzon - Canada
- Lovely, elegant a beautiful dance. They have such deep edges their
bodies are almost parallel to the ice. They have very crisp turns,
lovely expression and they get right up close to the boards.

- Xiaoyang Yu & Chen Wang - China
- She looks a lot like Naomi Nari Nam, I have been seeing her all
week and wondering who she is, now I know. Their edges are better than
the other Chinese team, but they noticeably slowed down as the dance
went along. She is adorable and fun to watch.

- Not a good day for Oz. They got their feet tangled up in the waltz
turns and had bobbles in each of the dips.

- Tanith Belbin & Belbin Agosto - USA
- Their holds aren't as close as D&L and their edges aren't as
deep. But they are very fast and very expressive. He slipped in one of
the turns, I couldn't tell if he put his hand down, but it was close.

enjoying herself.
