Innsbruck has been a great experience.  Not only is Innsbruck a beautiful place to visit, this first-ever Winter Youth Olympic Games has also been a real success story in terms of both the competition itself and the organization of the event.  Everything has gone smoothly from a spectator’s standpoint.  It is easy to get to each of the venues and there is always something fun and exciting going on.  An army of volunteers is helping keep everything on track and making us all feel very welcome here. <\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The ice dance competition kicked off this week with the short dance on Sunday, featuring some great performances and a number of seasons-best scores.  The Russian team of Anna Yanovskaya and Sergey Mozgov took the early lead with a total segment score of 60.19 in the short dance, followed by Aleksandra Nazarova and Maxim Nikitin of the Ukraine with 57.44 and fellow Russians Maria Simonova and Dmitri Dragun with 54.11.  Americans Rachel and Michael Parsons finished fourth in the short dance with 44.69, followed by Karina Uzurova and Lias Ali of Kazakhstan with 43.71, and Estelle Elizabeth and Romain Le Gac of France with 42.6, rounding out the top-six scores among the twelve ice dance teams competing at Youth Olympics this year.<\/span><\/p>\n
