April 30, 2011 will be remembered as the day when the ice dancing students of Marina Zoueva and Igor Shpilband swept the podium at the World Figure Skating Championships! I guess if you want to win a medal at Worlds in ice dancing you need to move to Michigan...

Were the Germans the Only Pair Team at the 2011 World Figure Skating Championships That Entertained?
Thursday April 28, 2011
(Believe it or not, I missed the commentary! I didn't realize, until today, that commentary helps viewers enjoy an ice skating event by bringing drama to a competition. )
Then...
The German pair team, Aliona Savchenko and Robin Szolkowy, took to the ice. They were dressed in bright hot pink and blue costumes and skated to The Pink Panther. They made interesting "faces" and gestures, and they danced as they performed. They did more than the usual pair skating moves such as throw triple jumps, twist lifts, death spirals, pair spins, and incredible pair skating lifts.
I think the German pair team's example needs to be followed by all figure skaters. Our sport should not just be about the technical; otherwise, there will be less and less figure skating fans watching skating events.
What are your thoughts on this issue? Is it just my opinion, or was the pair skating at the 2011 World Figure Skating Championships kind of boring?
