Morosov not only used V/M's music this season, he does it for two of his teams? Dude's shameless.

Hip Hip Chin Chin was famously used by ballroom competition team Max Kozhevnikov & Yulia Zagoruychenko for a samba. That's where they all got it from. Long before V/M used it, lesser ballroom teams were already using it.

Lol if I hadn't seen their names on screen, I would have thought that the mexican team was Tessa and Scott from their outfits.

[sweetskates1]

I LOVE the song the Mexicans are ice dancing to now... so cool..

[SkateFiguring]

It works. Thanks!

????? It should and has worked for everybody. Plein ecran means full screen. No in between option. I find today's video quality poorer, narrower screen and fuzzier picture when enlarged.

Ooops. I answered you too quickly. You must have edited your post. Anyways, happy for you.

I recognize it's very famous (love Yulia). I just think it's tacky to use it for two teams (and it's Morosov, so I couldn't resist a dig). And since Morosov used not one but two of V/M's pieces, I don't feel as petty as I probably should.

Lol apparently Tessa Virtue changed her dress to a very pink flowery concoction. It looks cool.

Bruhns & Van Natten
Mexico

Rhumba music
Not a good first pattern, from a key point standpoint
into the lift, she's a plank over his knee, but with one leg wrapped around his leg
(I like this lift)
Music is a good fit for this
second pattern
seemed a little better

jump into twizzles, sort of done, they don't step or into it in unison.

circular step

35.93

Next 4 teams warming up.

Anyone else scared for Paul/Islam, knowing their relatively undertrained status and the punishing altitude?

[Dots]

I wish the Shibutanis would be skating to something like Mana as that Mexican team did. :(

[Serious Business]

The Uzbekistan team's Love Story song was the worst. WHY do we have to encounter that awful piece of music even here? And they used an abrupt and awkward tempo slowdown just to launch into their second rumba sequence. My ears are bleeding.

[blue_idealist]

Anyone know who O'Brien/Merriman are training with now (which coaches)? Their twizzles a minute ago in warmup looked good.
