Russia's Petrova and Tikhanov (none / 0)

The crowd wasn't happy with their score on artistic. It seemed fair to me. I thought they got off to a slow start. But after they did that incredible lift where he swung her down and then up, the program really took off and they were great.

You would think that would be taken into account. Surya and Nicole Bobeck would've done better back in the day.
