2018 Russian FS Championship - Ice Dance SD

[NicolettaL]

I thought she is a French-American and competes for France because she competed for the country in singles.

Her mother is French, she competed for France and USA and now does it for Russia.

This time, Nikita was comforting her, finally he understood that their imagen is important too.

Or maybe just they are in better terms now. My friends are competitive ID team, and they are off the ice togheter. Before they figured some things out in private he was trully horrible to her in some moments. They are in better terms privately now, so it transfers to the ice too.

I have no words for that program.

The top teams in the world make the pattern look like it's nothing and so easy, so seeing teams here struggle so much with it, I always get surprised.

Twizzles are a big NO for today.

 

[Sugarpova]

Lmao there's twizzle disease going on today:rofl2:

Lucky girl. She has many options by birth. His father is one of the celebrated coaches too.

The scream from the crowd indicates that Loboda/Drozd are future stars.

 

[NoNameFace]

On more positive note, her back matched his big cleavage, otherwise...don't do acrobatics unless You are Stepanova, Shiplevaya or someone with that flexibility and control over it

 

[NicolettaL]

I struggle through L/D on the ice. They seem to be fighting each other on the ice today. No couple dynamic at all.

 

[coldblueeyes]

Alla and Pavel looked better than the last teams. Alla had some close calls, but she held herself.

 

[Anyasnake]

Finally decent twizzles !

Wow, 63 that's so low for them at a nationals comp...

 

[Anyasnake]

Lol Alla & Pavel should have gotten a 70 just for those twizzles - only team to have correct ones.

 

[MelDee]

Here we go again with twizzle errors...

 

[Skater Boy]

He doesn't have any that why EI would light into him at times. Man I am so missing my Andrew Poje. He's the boss in presenting his girl and he is so fine. Excuse me I just have a major crush and I have a need to talk about him often. Okay?

Wow, this is so random lol. I thought Poje skated for Canada though? And isn't his team have all sorts of issues - well at least it seems they won't even make the top 5 teams. Maybe not even top 8. They are such a wonderful team but keep on being so close ie world title, bronze medals etc. But we digress - it seems like nerves are affecting Russian ice dance.

Is none of junior dance team at JGPF allowed to compete at Sr. Nationals? Except a few, I don't think seniors showed significantly better performances than the juniors at JGPF.

They are allowed, but they'd need to have new programs, so it's hard. Not like pairs who can add a lift and they're set.

I totally forgot about that. Thanks for the reminder.

It's zamboni time, so let me digress with you. What are they doing with Morozov? He is just such a disorganized coach. Their SD I admired when they finally got it together but they go back to Je Suis Malade and he has only one (1) senior ice dance team. Years from now we're going to read an autobiography telling us that Morozov was literally paid to mess these guys up. I have never seen them having so many issues in one season, ribs, knees, programs, costumes. They should have run from him a LOOOONGGG time ago. But break is almost over. See ya.

And yeah, the nerves are killer today. Hopefully the final group can keep it together.
