The full season subscription pass is 29.99 US but I don't know if it's available outside of the US??? They ought to extend it to other countries.. I'm sure people would subscribe! If I'm not working, I'll post an update, but I know it's not the same as watching it!

So far 3 teams have gone and Rubleva/Shefer looked considerably stronger than Carron/Jones and Blanc/Bouquet.

I was impressed with the Hubbels.. haven't really seen them skate too much and I know they're relatively newer to the senior international scene. Kim & Brent skated very well and I could see a definite difference in their level of comfort compared to previous teams.
Warmup group 2!

Silly me - just seen the results page! Didn't expect Carron/Jones to beat Blanc/Bouquet in the CD!

I thought C/J were just a touch better--and was surprised too!
G/B I thought were similar to N/B level-wise. Then Tessa & Scott get out there and fly effortlessly through the turns and flow so easily and the unison is at yet another level! I love watching.. WHOA 38.51 is their score.
