2018 JGP Kaunas Cup Rhythm Dance

[Colonel Green]

Sasha has very long limbs.

 

[ancientpeas]

I already like this DJ. Way to go Lithuanian DJ.

Oops, Ted took them for the Canadians. But the British Waddell is a bit alike Canadian

Edit: of course Ted was right. And Waddells are brothers

A good employee is a happy employee so I'd say keep watching if I were your boss.

, it is the case with me & figure skating indeed, it just makes me happy. It is Friday so work is not that high, thankfully. And I'm going shopping later for pumpkin-cauliflower curry for tomorrow!

Sasha FEAR / George WADDELL Debuted Last season. Competed at Lake Placid this season; 7th; Best RD 44.93 ISU JGP Brisbane 2017 RD: Tango: "Por una cabeza" by Carlos Gardel; Tango: "Libertango" by Astor Piazzolla; choreo by Romain Haguenauer FD: "A Thousand Years" by The Piano Guys; "Beethoven's Five Secrets by The Piano Guys; choreo by Romain Haguenauer GBR

GBR

Black v neck (small v) onesie on George
Dark pink on Sasha with required shreddy skirt

Into pattern Looks a lot better on the second side

Twizzles start in attitude . 3 sets Not bad at all.

Very waltzy feeling curve lift. A lot of complex action getting into it. And a solid one foot lift by George

Steps George stumbles early. There is some good stuff in the ending sequence. Defiinite tangoey feel.


42.25 into 4th

I think it's because there's a Fear/Fear team who represent Canada, Sasha's siblings I believe. Seems like a Reed situation.

Ooo here come the Russians!

Doris.. is there anywhere I can find out what the difference is between the Argentina Tango and the Tango Romantica?

 

[Colonel Green]

LOL, the contrast between these two and everybody else so far.

 

[ancientpeas]

Tres Dramatique!

BTW.. if you want a giggle turn on the live CC. Apparently this dude's last name is bulletin (like the board). I feel badly for those who have to rely on live cc because it's often awful.

 

[Ichatdelune]

U/N seemed a bit hesitant, nerves maybe? Still, solid skate and great twizzles.

 

[ancientpeas]

So far above anyone else I've seen so far.

Ice surfacing means dog walking in the peas household. Enjoy the zambonis!

 

[Colonel Green]

Not that scoring between events is entirely consistent, but that’s the highest RD score so far this season.

 

[Marta25]

Wow! Big score for Ushakova/Nekrasov.

 

[NoNameFace]

While I appreciate the originality of a concept in Ushakova/Nekrasov's RD, there is too much 'gimmick' factor in transition movement and too much of frantic there...Their pattern, although flowy, was skated quite far from each other and with lines/extensions sometimes not matching. The dance overall seems very cluttered and busy with all these arm, head, leg movement. I have no doubt looking at them that they are good technicians and performers, but so much going on in choreography, music, movement makes me less appreciative of their qualities...

Arina USHAKOVA / Maxim NEKRASOV Debuted 2016, 3rd at 2018 Jr. Worlds; best RD 61.29 ISU World Junior Championships 2018 Have not competed this season RD: Tango: Libertango by Astor Piazzolla, performed by Bond; Flamenco: Flamenco by Valeri Dolgin; choreography by Natalia Yanovskaia, Elena Maslennikova FD: Black Cat, White Cat (soundtrack) by Goran Bregovic; choreo by Natalia Yanovskaia, Elena Maslennikova RUS

RUS

Arina in two armed black with shredded skirt, holes at random, red neck trim
Maxim in black onesie. Joy no v neck.

Very sharp moves with flicky tango feet to start.

Huge increase in speed and edging from previous couples.

Into the pattern. Very big. Turn off a bit, Not quite as good on second half

Step sequence separated a bit too much in spots but good

Twizzles very fast looked good. Could use more ice coverage in them. Nice spacing.

She flips into a change of position Rotational lift to end.

This will score well.

And it does
67.63

Think that is the highest we have seen in JGP so far.

And we will have a resurface.

 

[4everchan]

you know JGP Lithuania is not meant to be in your life when you put your alarm 20 minutes early so you can watch a bit of it before going to work, only to find out it's zamboni time...

you guys enjoy!

oh, and congratulations on hitting 10,000 posts!!!

 

[WeakAnkles]

Sasha fear please remove the arm ornamentation. Think Coco Chanel. Less is More. You' r givign me a headache. Bland program gets better by end. Good lift.

 

[dorispulaski]

Pretty Dress. Go GB!

BTW.. I think we need to start the count now on how many men are not wearing black in the PD this year.

At this point, the lack of a v neck is the height of tango guy originality

 

[WeakAnkles]

Irina G, you have Charisma 2 Burn. One of the best stationary lifts ever. Interesting choreography (CL and Juris know their way around a tango).
