"It was fantastic. They just danced through the program. You get moved," says national team captain Stefan Jansson to SVT.

The freestyle, to which the top 18 qualify, will be decided on Saturday.

I think they can move further, says Jansson.

Patrik Kittel and Touchdown received 73.191 percent and are in 17th place.

For Therese Nilshagen and Navarro, the competition is over after 70.167 percent.
