Competition notes

  • There was a tie in the senior men's short program between Eldredge and Goebel. Both received four first place marks, three seconds and two thirds.
  • Although placing second, senior ice dancers Tanith Belbin / Benjamin Agosto were not placed on the Olympic team due to citizenship problems. Third place finishers Melissa Gregory / Denis Petukov, who would under normal circumstances been the first alternates, also were ineligible due to citizenship problems. Fourth place finishers Beata Handra / Charles Sinek were therefore the second entry to the Olympic team. It was their first World level competition.
  • The senior compulsory dances were the Ravensburger Waltz and the Blues. The junior compulsory dances were the Viennese Waltz and the Quickstep. The novice compulsory dances were the Tango and the Paso Doble.

gollark: No it doesn't.
gollark: Saying it's "theft" drags along a bunch of connotations which might not make sense.
gollark: Semantics are literally how you define words!
gollark: It's not "stealing" by most definitions, so not really.
gollark: There are lots of problems with all the models. I think at least trying to come up with and consider different ones is worth doing, though, because pretending IP is not-intellectual property is problematic.
