The main word there is "when". When they're clean, then fine because the skating reflects and deserves a high mark w/Aliona and Robin. However, when it sounds as rough as it was today, that score *is* too high. Especially w/two botched throws from the sound of it. It sounds like their placement is right, but that score does sound way too high for what was produced out there.
Besides...I thought CoP was supposed to take care of the "They/They're the World Champions, let's give them the benefit of the doubt it was a bad performance" marks that would appear back during 6.0?
As for Maria and Max....Yi yi yi....I can't believe they didn't go back to the drawing board after SA w/that mess of a LP. It's not working for them, the audience isn't relating to it at all...They've given it a fair shot, but it's time to either start working on a new LP for the rest of the season or go back to last year's. They've got such a lovely SP this year too. It's a crying shame they don't have a LP w/the same quality.
As for Megan and Craig...Wow!! That's all I can say after reading about the injury and seeing pictures...Wow!! Congrats on the Bronze. They more than earned it today.
