Or whatever highlights Eurosport deigned to show us this morning while I was coaching children through a hurling blitz....and it's Spanish medley this year...flamenco, spanish waltz, paso doble or tango. Or a combination thereof. Whoopee.....can you sense my enthusiasm? Is it not just leaping through the screen of the computer and knocking you over?

Looks like we're going to get the final two, or a highlight of..

Chait and Sakhnovski ISR

Her dress is red with black diamond over it.... his shirt is white ,black pants, red cumberband.... he drops and spins her to begin... running steps to begin... around they go..and plenty of speed.... go to the boards for the striaght line step....very sharp... good unsion...twizzles were well done too... as we go into roxanne from moulin rouge...and he's no ewan, I'm sorry to say... and I just notice how much chest he's showing..eeek! he spins her under...loift where she's draped all over him... nice expression to the music here.... dance spin... stop...as he pulls herall over the place... lift where shes' horizontal and he's waving her all over the place... slide her under his legs... and stop at the corner...diagonal steps.... very fast ...and they finish. Simon is drooling, I'm more restrained... Chris says it was brilliant, and I have to admit that this rhythm is made for them...and they really did a good job to that song... chris thinks they could have had a more difficult lift... and they tip a battle for bronze between these and the lithuanians....they really make sure to mark the start of the step sequences...

marks 5.4-5.7...best we've had so far Simon tells me... 5.6-5.7..a row of ones.

Denkova and Staviyski BUL

Shes 27 he's 24... big rose on her black dress, only one sleeve to it, long red glove on the other...he's all in black with red trim on bolero jacket....steps to begin... he twirls her under...dance spin with much travel... and aroudn they go in dance hold...lift with nice changes ofposition.... dance steps where he twilrs her under...around they go..lift where shes wrapped around his middle which sends chris into raptures... and stop.. and strggle in tango gfashion... dance hold in steps from diagonal to diagonal.... glidey move to finish it..and striaght line step... lots of posing to start it... lungest and slides and they pass in front of one another which is nice...little stutter from him there...and I question their synch on the twizzles...Simon loved it...I'm underwhelmed me, but it could be the rhythm.... difficult program says Chris...he gave it everything during the straight line step... and we missed Winkler and Lohse....as I put away my drool bucket....and pout....

marks 5.4-5.6... 5.5-5.6...one has them in first the rest in second.

final group

Grushina and Goncharov UKR

What's happened her hair? She used to have blonde tresses, now she's black! And not a particularly nice black, oh no, it's a "Teacher! Ruslan spilled the black paint all over my hair!" kinda black! And as for him...his is darker too, and it's slicked back and tied back and not frizzy like i'm used to! Her skirt is long and red...top is black sparkley cirss cross ...dancespin to start....tradtional bolero waistcoat for him and black toursers white shirt... steps along the way... a lot on one spot... another spinny thing... and to the baords are they... steps down the rink... and they don't seem to have the speed of those we've seen...noce lift where she's lying against him inf front of him and that goes to a spin before they go down...into paso now... interesting hold htere...slide her along...and really intesring holds there...straight lines steps.. query on the unison...seem to be quite far apart... and slow.... and lift where she's upside down along his back and goes somersualting over to finish. and he is also showing much chest I just notice....married since 95... chris questions the technical difficulty, lacking in footwork for him, nad for me too...says Ruslan's main job was to sell her...

marks 5.1-5.4... 5.4-5.5...they're 3rd and they beat the germans who I did not see...grrr...aaargh....

Lobacheva and Averbukh RUS

He's got more rufflesthan any man should ever wear...as does she on that red dress, and there is much gold trim on the red dress.... good lord look at that collar on him! adam ant called he wants his shirt back...startwith her moving so she's wrapped around him... plenty of attitude... diagonal step... like the way that she's moving aroudn him... around the corner... huge speed...down the ice...lift where she's in splits wrapped around his legs and spinning....and dance spin as music change....running steps...and turns...and he does his little running steps... steps... nice interp of music... some great footwork here... turns from her... and he's selling this to the nth degree... as she flashes her skirt at the judges...well that's one way to get marks...straight lines step.... unsion is something else and it's so fast..andevery part of the balde is being used...and from end to end as well... and lift where she's up and down and all over him and spinning to end and that was amazing. Just amazing. Step sequence was a highlight ...so intricate and so fast...and that is gonna take some to beat... we see the lift again..and the speed of the turns looks normal on slomo, as does the step sequence... and the dress the lads point out created some really nice lines for her... and he never stopped selling it from go to woe...

marks .. 5.7-5.9 (3 7s, 1 9 the rest 8) 5.8-5.9 (2-7)

Drobiazko and Vanagas LTU

She's got a nice red dress on, dark wine for the top and red for the ruffles....he's all in black... I do love a man in black... and they're setting the tone before they even take their opening pose....he kneels before her..proper place for a man to be before his wife.... nice steps to begin,,,,and you can see again the speed and flow... aroudn the cotrner.... lunges.... and slide to stop... and turns ..and great unison...spinny turns... she jumps backwatds into the lift where she's wrapped around his waist...and change of rhythm deadon the music as he slides into her... pose on centre ice into really fast dance spin... steps... along the ice..claps in unsion.... and into the corner and around the side for the straight lines teps... and off unison there..but they get it back.. and she stumbles... and they're all over the place now... lift to finsih where she leaps on him...and wouldn't we all.... and end right on the music... and that's a shame. That's a real shame...and it'll be fun to see how the judges mark that... because they have to take off for it... Simon thinks that they are in the battle for bronze with C&S... while RUS and CAN battle for gold. So that mistake could cost them....slip on first twizzles and second out of synch...

marks 5.3-5.6.... 5.6-5.8...(52s, 3 3s and 1 4) - lucky

Bourne and Kraatz CAN

Now that Vic is engaged, I'll respect that and not drool over him any more. What's taht you say? It's not April 1st? Sorry, my bad. He's looking resplendant with the shorter hair, all in black. Yum. Shae, once I tear my eyes away, is wearing black, with an asymmetrical line on the skirt, pink ruffle on it, and the cut away thing in the middle where the dressmaker got her measurements wrong. she kneels and he stands and she stands up...little running steps..to very fast dance spin... and they seem to be flying... to the barrier...striaght lien step... ncie unison to the half... and keep it goinf.... twizzles are fine and it was truly end to end... ashe leaps back into him...wouldn't we all... and he swings her around...to centre ice... she shimmys a bit... and he swings her again...into dance hold and she slides and he holds her...that was nice...around the corner... diagonal step... nice steps here... and he'sdoing as much as she is... stop and spin her under and go again... this is great.... they're really giving it hteie all...lift where shes in splits and moving all over him...hydro move and that's that! And I loved it! And that was a very different medley....very different to L&A who were much mroe traditional... how do you compare them? These two hit the beats perfectly.... Chris doesn't think it had a spanish feel to it, and I see what he means and I cant udnerstand where that might cost them... unison perfect on second twizzles, mayvbe a millisecond off on first? And Chris thinks that Shae's boots need a clean...

marks... 5.6-5.7...as Simon tells us that Shae is now dating Nikolai Morozov, sitting beside her.... 5.7-5.8..one third, the rest second. POL have them third.

That's all we're going to see and there's no change down to 10th place...

Free tomorrow!
