Hmm..The top10 is like I expected I haven't seen the CD. but I think 6th place is nice, and it's just a very small difference between 4th, 5th and 6th, so maybe they can even move up in the ranks Well done guys and good luck!

its like the judges know who they would like to be in the medal position and THEN score accordingly
it shouldnt be like this, they basically have the right to do what they like.
it seems your card is marked before you even get on the ice, its sad

I think Sineas and John's performance was fantastic. They should without a doubt be higher. They still have a chance but it is going to have be be great. They can do it... If anyone missed seeing them you should be able to view it on www.universalsports.com//Keep going Sinead and John!!!!!

Agreed Sigrid. First to skate of the top 10 is NOT a good draw!

I NEED TO GET THIS OFF MY CHEST OR I WILL SCREAM !!!!!!!! Yes the result of the compulsory dance was more or less what I expected BUT are you seriously understanding that Virtue & Moir were 7 POINTS BETTER than J&S?!. That over the past year V&M & D&W have improved so much more than everyone else?. NO WAY. This judging system gives the judges the chance to place their favourites so far ahead that even if they fell in the next dance the 1 point deduction would not harm them. It's a fix. Since the Olympics I have given up watching the marks & just enjoying my favourite skaters because the marks the judges are giving bare no relation to what I am seeing on the ice. Am I the only one who feels angry about this?. & for those who watch on Eurosport, is it just me or does Chris Howarth seem really biased towards the US skaters (I know he lives there but it's a European channel). He is VERY pro Davis & White. Well done John & Sinead, a personal best which means thanks to the judges you are too far behind after the first of three dances to have a fair chance

Bad news, Eurosport are leaving the original dance for a world cup biathlon event (I thought world championships were more important than a world cup event !). They are only returning for the final hour so John & Sineads skate might no get shown. I'M SO SICK OF EUROSPORT !!!!!
