I have to say - more of the Novice men had interesting and complete programs than these young men did.And isn't the loop supposed to be out of footwork? Or somewhere near footwork....

Music: Kalinka. 3 loop. 3 lutz -2toe. 2 axel. stumble in footwork. Now I like Douglas -and I agree he should be higher than Michael Peters. But the amount of disparity in the scores is baffling to me. What am I missing??
