For the ones who won't be able to watch the championship live, the bulgarian television- Kanal 1 will show some of the OD and FD live.
The OD: 22.03 06:45-08:20 Local Time
The FD 23.03 09:00-11:00

You can watch Kanal 1 online: http://www.bgtelevizia.com/tv.php?channel=49 username:www.bgtelevizia.com password: 3333
It may ask you to download some software, but it should be ok

Huge, huge thanks!! I'll definetly use it if Eurosport or national post will refuse to show the events live. By any chance...you know smth about Men competitions too?
Thank you!!

They ll show the mens free live on 22.03 from 12:25-13:55, but i believe Eurosport will have a better live coverage for the men

Does anyone know if on some TV there will be live broadcast of the CD.We find one site of TV-RTR Planeta Sport,but they want we to pay for the watching.Only this TV will broadcast LIVE CD:

Ilya Averbukh has said that Oksana and Maxim will have a tough time at the Worlds - Russia is going to have its judge for the CD only. He thinks that their major rivals are B&A (IS HE NORMAL?????? WHATSOEVER!!!!)
who are likely to impress the judges with their new FD. He adds: A&M are in a very good form this season - they deserved the first place at the Europeans (I LIKE Averbukh here )

That's hilarious!

When Averbukh was commentating Tarasova's show on TV (a couple of weeks ago) he said Delobel/Schoenfelder were the rightful winners of the Euros and Oksana&Maxim's main rivals for Worlds gold.

Very interesting interview...but I think that his words about Domnina and Shabalin are very brave...

How come Ilia knows the russian judge will be only for the CD? There should be a draw for the OD and FD on site...probably this draw has been already made??Does anybody knows something about that?

Maybe he means that for sure they'll have one at the CD but that nothing is sure about OD and FD.
Hmm...I would like to be this the case.

Hmm, maybe he has just changed his opinion B&A - the major rivals!?!? And rivals for what? For the third place because I can't admit that Oksana and maxim could win the gold! It won't be fair....

It will not be fair but it can happned! I will not be suprise if they win the free dance again!

Here is a preview from goldenskate

Their Podium Pick:

DANCE
1. Domnina/Shabalin RUS
2. Denkova/Staviski BUL
3. Delobel/Schoenfelder FRA

Most likely this will be exactly the case. And I wish good luck to Oksana&Max
Looking realistically they can finish anywhere from 2nd to 5th. I can't see them winning gold unless the competition turns out a total splatfest like Olys OD. And I certainly do hope it will NOT be a splatfest.

Now this is something I can NEVER understand I believe saying something WILL not be fair is completely and utterly wrong. I think you can estimate "fairness" only for the events that have already happened.

Yes, you're right, I just didn't explain well what I meant. Of course, we don't know what will happen at the Worlds, but if EVERYTHING WILL BE OK and no one make mistakes, I think the gold should go at someone else. I do respect Oksana and Maxim, but I just don't think they deserve the gold. Not this season, maybe in 1-2 seasons they will deserve that, but this year there are few couples better than them, I repeat - if everyone dance without mistakes.

Vania, in this case I completely agree with you.
IMHO if all top teams skate their best I believe the gold should go either to Delobel/Schoenfelder or Albena/Maxim.

I cant t believe my eyes!!!Are they crazy????
I think that Delobel and Schonfelder don t have place here...and where are Marie-France Dubreuil and Patrice Lauzon???Domnina and Shabalin will not be so close to the podium I think.And don't forget that Russian and French don't have judjes!

I forget to tell that our Albenka and Max had the best score season at Skate America

Barbaridad? Por qué? Es sólo una predicción y nada más.

Pues, Shanti..

Yo creo que eso no es posible, eso no va a pasar!




Besos!

Oh, it's just that I didn't form my idea in a normal way - Averbukh said that the draw had been already made - so when telling all this he knew about the draw. Maybe the official information will be released later?

the prediction is awful! I don't like it...

Oh well, it's only one person's opinion. I wouldn't take it too seriously. In my opinion, I like the teams that are on the podium ... but the order isn't what I'm hoping for.
