Well, in my view all figure skating judging, ice dance in particular, has a degree of subjectivity in it. It's not like tennis, where you either win or lose the point, or baseball, in which everything in the scoring apparatus is fixed and precise. The thing that makes ice dance tricky is that there are three phases of the competition, the compulsories, the OD and the FD, and I've only seen the compulsory dances twice in my entire life. It's hard when you didn't see that skating at all. They are carrying the scores from it over into the other stuff, so the end is a composite. Alexandr Zhulin was a fantastic ice dancer himself, and I think he's done a great job with this pair. I've been watching Denkova and Stavisky for a long time, and it's about damn time they got into the medals. They've been working long and hard for the podium, and it's great to see them there.
Good old Gettyimages, good old Kelly! 
Sometimes they really are the best, but if someone else is better they should have it.
