8th, March 2009 The Quarter Finals So who will make it through to the semi-finals? . Tonight's required element is an unassisted jump. Each celebrity must leave the ice completely and land smoothly, all without the security of their professional partner - By far the most challenging of the required elements so far. Wow! From the look of rehearsals, Ray Quinn is going to do the splits mid air. If you're a skating fan you'll know the move as the Russian Split Jump, it used to be a signature move of Robin Cousins and if you're a TV buff, then think Leroy in Fame! All I can say is that Chris Dean really wants to challenge this boy and see what he's capable of. If he can pull this jump off it will be showstopping. Just landing it will be a miracle for an amateur. I mean, imagine if he falls - Does this young man want to have children? I hope he has his jewels insured! Judge Robin Cousins is looking for "time in the air" and some "sharp, dynamic movement on the ice" - Most importantly though, he wants a polished overall routine. When Ray Quinn sees an example of the Russian Split Jump, his exact words are "F***ing Hell!" He cannot believe that that's what Chris Dean wants him to do - Jayne Torvill describes it as "HUGE" and I'm on shock that he's even going to attempt it. The pair dance to Use Somebody and (if I'm honest) the routine is a beautiful blur as I wait with my heart in my throat for the split jump... This could all go horribly wrong right here...  HE'S DONE IT! Both he and Maria dance their hearts out. There's a divine develope, then knee slides and a spin before the Russian Split Jump. He's even thrown in another 360 jump straight after! Is there nothing this guy can do? Chris Dean looks so proud, "The audience were with you all of the way." A 6 from Ruthie and 5.5's across the board! 28 Points. Ray is chuffed to get another 6, but happier that he made 'that' jump. Phil asks if he was nervous about doing it infront of Robin. "Of course! He's a God isn't he really, let's be honest. I'm so pleased that I did it, it's a great achievement for me that. Robin is great at it and I've been watching him do it over and over on You Tube all week going, wow!" Judge Robin Cousins made the Russian Split Jump what it is and Ray is overjoyed to hear him say, "It was great!" Robin adds that it was just a shame he was worrying about the jump coming up and there were a couple of little fluffs in the basic skating... But he's the first to tell Ray that he's showing 'his skating' to all 'his' friends on You Tube. "It was a pleasure to watch! Your seamless partnership is sensational." The votes are in: Through to the semi-finals are... Ray and Maria I can see Ray winning the final |
