[3ggi3]

WOW! Shen and Zhao were AMAZING!
Not one of my favourite programs but by far one of the best! =d
Annabelle and Pat need to stop acting like World Champions and get real like Cynthia Phaneuf, maybe then they will do better.
However, Pang and Tong were kind of overmarked....

[LTM]

Shen/Zhao were great and I liked this program. It's going to be really something by Worlds.
Wasn't sold on Pang/Tong last year and I'm still not. Shen/Zhao are first because of what they did. Pang/Tong were second because other people fell down. The Polish
team for example, a better SP would have probably put them in second.
Yeh, yeh , that's skating but that Chinese team at this point in time, is my bathroom break couple. Big tricks aside, they are boring.

3ggi3 --- I loved Debi Wilkes comment about the danger of skaters believing their own press. Perhaps Langlois and Archetto should take note.
I did like our Canadian teams programs though, lot of potential and the season is just beginning.
