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 !!!!! this is terrible ..... i already have it set up to record and everything. i really am sad about this, how can they just change there mind like that ?

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 I completly agree with you, i think its shocking, the italions 3 points ahead of all the other teams for a bronze, im sorry but thats a fix, they are in italy after all you see, so give them a medal the judges say, this 3 points lead will surely help them, as the other teams are all chomping at the bit for that bronze, and all equally as talented to get it, but no, not a fair competition, it wouldnt compete against there hollywood style ending for the bronze medal, the italions win because there in italy, its as simple as that really end rant I totally agree with both of you. I was watching the CD on Eurosport France and the guy commentator Philippe - who isn't a fan of the Kerrs - said that they should've gotten 40 points because they were really good and that Evgeni Platov gave them great technical content. It's really frustrating when the jugdes favor other couples and give them points they don't deserve and then don't give other couples the points they do deserve. But we can't do anything about that, so let's just hope that Sinead & John skate clean and enjoy themselves and hopefully (fingers crossed ) they'll be in the top 5.

I know. It's so sad that great couples who train hard for years are insulted with such low marks. No r >:(so many turn proffesional rather than waste their time with ISU events. It's the sport that is losing out. Also, I'm so mad at Eurosport for chopping up the Original dance. They are leaving for 1hr30mins during which many great couples will skate. Then we will probably miss John & Sinead. Then when we complain the commentaters will give a poor apology & say that other sports NEED to be shown.

Still as entertaining, but it was really rough today I thought Still got them a PB and a decent score, so I'm not complaining! :-)

They looked a bit not pleased with the score?
Anyway, it was pure joy to watch them. And I could feel their joy from skating, from every second on the ice. They just can't stop now, they just can't, they should continue!!!
