World Championships Update: Women and Ice Dancing

The women and the ice dancers had their short programs today at the World Championships in Moscow, Russia.  

On the singles side, it was no surprise when Yu-na Kim took the top spot, although she wasn't perfect.  Miki Ando of Japan follows closely behind, with Ksenia Makarova of Russia and Alissa Czisny of the USA about four points back.

In ice dancing, Canada's Virtue and Moir are, of course, less than a point ahead of Davis and White.  They are trailed by Pechalat and Bourzat of France and the Shibutanis of the USA.

Both of these competitions are looking mighty competitive for tomorrow!
