The 2008 Cup of Russia continues with the Original Dance. Russia's Jana Khokhlova and Sergei Novitski won the Original Dance, but their compatriots Oksana Domnina and Maxim Shabalin maintained the overall lead. A big surprise from the United States' Meryl Davis and Charlie White -- Charlie fell twice during their skate to Happy Feet and they placed eighth in the Original Dance. But with a very strong Compulsory Dance yesterday, they are fourth overall. The ice dancing competition concludes tomorrow with the Free Dance.
Standings after the Original Dance are below. (Note: CD=Compulsory Dance; OD=Original Dance; FD=Free Dance)
