Erika Fasana (Italy) took her final pose as the Italian opera music faded in the hall. Fasana had just completed her floor exercise routine and held this pose as the judges looked on as though they were disgruntled. I am not sure why they seemed like they had sour milk under their noses, but their scores reflected their apparent mood. I thought that Fasana moved with grace, certainly one of the best dancers of the competition. But then the tumbling is where the points are.
