Goodnes, S&D are having an awful time this season!

I thought the same thing!! Are they going to be fighting for a bronze at US Nationals?? I thought they had a chance to fight for bronze HERE, but it looks like another US team is taking on that fight!

And what is my beloved Polish team doing in fourth??? NO!!! :cry:

As a Canadian, I'm not pleased with Putnam and Wirtz slumming it with Scott and Dulebohn...

Anyone know if Stanislav Morozov is related to that OTHER Morozov??

I've read that it is China's goal to sweep the podium at the 2006 Olympics. They just might take 2005 Worlds as well...

I'm officially bored by every amateur Russian team right now. I like Petrova and Tikhonov as people...they seem very likeable. But their programs don't really grab me. Any chance Kazakova and Dmitriev can come back? They're my favorite Russian team. :bow:

So Don and Hunt were in third, and the bronze goes to...the team who were 7th in the short program??? Good work from Savchenko and Szolkowy (who I don't think I've ever heard of before...is it just me, or does Savchenko sound Russian, and Szolkowy Polish??).

Looks like Scott and Dulebohn had a bit of a comeback. Now let's tweak the short program, shall we??
