Since Davis and White were in second place before the Free Dance, does this mean they won the gold medal since they won the Free Dance???
I'm going to check the news - (7:27 p.m.) -
7:29 p.m. - No, they didn't. Virtue and Moir won the gold by 1.4 points -- total scores of 224.43 to 223.03. Well you know what, that really sucks! But congratulations to both the American and Canadian teams. What an amazing rivalry - and friendship. Both teams train together and share coaches, and there's a little romance too, between White and Virtue. Maybe they'll create their own commune and raise ice-dancing babies together and 18 years from now... okay okay, maybe not.
Canadians placed 2 teams in top 10 and so did the Americans, both countries combined teams positions totalling 13 or less. That is the magic number that means both countries will send three ice-dance teams to 2011 worlds. This is a really big deal!
Wow - ice-dance in North America has come of age!!! The Russians had only one team in the top 10. Unbelievable. Putin is going to be spitting fire, ha ha ha!

=O where did you hear about the romance b/w White and Virtue? One would never guess with the on-screen chemistry seen with Virtue and Moir.
