North Americans 1-2-4

I can't say it's a New World Order yet, but it feels like the fall of the wall for a longtime skating fan. Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir didn't let the home crowd down. Aren't they fun? That was a sharp flamenco on ice.

Meryl Davis and Charlie White completed their best Bollywood boogie of the year. They skated with such speed and precision. Excellent twizzles with Indian-inspired arm movements. They were ahead until Tessa and Scott skated to a 2 point lead.

Tanith Belbin and Ben Agosto closed out the evening with their Moldavian themed dance. New costumes and lots of energy, but after Tessa and Scott the audience took a break. They didn't seem as into it unfortunately. Still, Tanith and Ben are in a close fourth place right behind the Russians, Domnina and Shabalin.

That makes three North American teams in the top five. I can not say that has ever happened in my 30 year existence. What amazing days we live in!
