Christina and Anthony - This is the most confident and in command that they have looked with this program yet. really good speed and control. pretty nice edge work. I don't know if it was just me but Christina looked quite a bit more technically solid and precise than at Lake Placid and Salzburg. yay finally some solid twizzles! a little imbalanced on the second, but still the best so far. all and all very nice presentation and execution.

Karina and Maksim - they looked a lot more comfortable this time around. there was more definition within their general movement, particularly noticeable in the step sequences. still on the shaky side but I thought it was an all around improvement from Riga. they look more confident in their ability and it showed in this performance :)

So is it the Rumba/Cha-Cha SP thing that has lead every guy to have a black outfit with a deep V-neck?

like maybe. I feel like i could just copy-paste the same costume description for every guy, because they're all variants on hte same theme

Ashlynne and Lee - loved their attitude. they have great chemistry. okay twizzles. really nice no touch step sequence. I really liked their straight line lift. you can see they're working hard on trying to refine their general technique. :)

You can keep using the copy-paste. Doesn't seem to have changed much in this last group either. :rolleye:

Well, I didn't expect Love the Way You Lie in the middle of this particular music cut.

Reckon it'll be every man in the whole dance comp?

I didn't catch the first group so can't confirm but so far it's like there was an institionalized SD uniform for men, the way they're all dressed the same.

OMG Kirill doesn't have a V-neck! The shock!

Still all black, though.

pretty sure they were all black in the first group, too.

Back to the deep V-necks.

I'm not sure if this fast tempo wasn't a bit too much for Lucy and Thomas.

Yes.

Now I feel the need to compare to previous JGPs.

Edit: There's also a surprisingly large number of pink dresses.
