I may have been wrong about the music, we've had two Pink Panthers already.
We are not happy about the pairs result. I like the Germans, Savchenko and Szolkowy, and I know they had a one foul-up cushion going into the free, but that was one heck of a foul up and Kavaguchi and Smirnov skated so well. Let the judging-related paranoia commence.
For your delictation and delight, and for you to judge:
Savchenko and Szolkowy - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7bCF58op8rY
Kavaguchi and Smirnov - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IF9B5xsmAEg&feature=related
It's not that I don't like Savchenko and Szolkowy, and Aliona Savchenko looks adorable with her Pink Panther cuddly toy, but it's just wrong.
Stephan Lambiel is one of the interviewers. He is disturbingly chirpy.
I also really liked the Italians.

In the tennis, I continue to be driven mad by trying to figure out what it is that Dolgopolov does differently with his serve. It is not a normal one, but I can't place what the difference is exactly. I think it's something mechanical but unfortunately, the Eurosport coverage is being no use. Any suggestions?
