Well, thank you both but I've just been an avid figure skating watcher as some others of us for a certain period of time, now I still have to find someone who makes me a fan again.

I mean the same thing (sort of) happened with Petrova&Tikhonov in pairs and they didn't show any negative emotions, isn't that so?
I totally agree. That's why I'm disheartened for the Fusar Poli- Margaglio's reaction. We really gave a bad image to remember. For the Russians, when they lose (it happens sometimes), their discipline helps I guess. Certainly I'd like to see Kostomarov's reaction to a second or third place.

I hope you'll have the chance to see Delobel&Schoenfelder's original dance. For me it wasn't properly bad, but totally lacking of ambition and inspiration. It had written on it "wood medal".
