Anna&Sergey were held down, I am guessing low levels again.
The Technical speciallist here does not like the Russian couples I assume

Right. Dance is half performance, half politicking branch in figure skating.
Also Morozova/Zhirnov's TES is really low.
Yes 4th place is enough for M/Z to qualify for JGP final.
The Parsons made the final last year, so it's not like they're chopped liver. Also they both came in with similar scores, just that Parsons had a tougher first event. The conspiracy therory is not necessary. Besides, they didn't make it so it's a moot point.
Doesn't explain the fact that Russian were clearly hold down comparing to their first events.
Quite a good event, overall! I agree with the top3, all of the programs impressed me well, especially the Parsons who look a lot better than their first event, especially technically.
Y/M didn't have as much impact as in their first event for me, so I understand the lower score (even if 48 PCS for a Junior FD is still pretty impressive!), and I still think that M/Z are clearly not at the required level: they are good, yes, but they need to work a lot on their programs, this FD doesn't make any sense at all, it begins well but then you get completely lost in the middle and the last minute or so is almost "random skating" (plus, he looked extremely tired) :disagree:
