Interesting news out of Estonia today - the Italian ice dance team of Faiella and Scali have actually edged out Russia's Domnina and Shabalin in the original dance portion of the European figure skating championships. You may remember that Domnina and Shabalin's OD costumes (and apparently, even their dance) has been considered by some to be offensive. But sounds like they are still plugging away at it! Domnina and Shabalin had such a huge lead, though, that they are still in first by several points. Barring a catastrophe, the Russians will likely pull this competition out easily.
