Thank you for posting the scores. After the emotional rollercoaster of the SGP, I was a bit skated out and . Too bad there's no swimming meets online to watch at the moment. It would have made a lovely changd of pace! But hopefully someone will post the skates on youtube.

How season best grows - this score, previous best, difference.

Yes, the scores are super high. I believe these scores move Skoptcova & Aleshin from 31st to 14th, Kaliszek & Spodyriev from 27th to 15th, and Evdokimova & Bazin from 24th to 21st onto the top 24 SB list. Also moves Carreira & Ponomarenko up a spot and gives them a score less than a point from McNamara & Carpenter, who defeated them head to head by over 9 points at the Helsinki GP.

I didn't have the chance to watch the RD performances, but I did watch the FDs. The placements for the free dances seemed right to me, though the scoring is clearly on a different measuring stick than what we've been seeing for most of the events this season.

Urban & Steffan had a fall.
Skoptcova & Aleshin didn't have any major errors. They were having big problems with a lift in their two previous events so this was a step forward. Still somewhat sloppy.
Kaliszek & Spodyriev were cleaner with some clearer positions on the highlight elements.
Carreira & Ponomarenko were cleaner still and all the entrances & exits more polished.

I caught the top few RDs-- pretty well skated though the scores took me by surprise. Theres always one challenger whose scoring is on a different planet than the others, although Carreira/Ponomarenko's scores were much more in line with the trends of this season than the others. I'm glad Skoptcova/Aleshin have a good chance of staying on the SB list and getting a GP next season, I was getting a little worried. Wish Shpilevaya/Smirnov had been here as well but... Nothing to be done.

Sorry, but I'm VERY skeptical of scores that magically increase by nearly 20 points in two weeks' time.
