I really like this program for this team. They seemed to have improved even from SCI, so I'm excited to see how they continue to develop.

 

[auser]

Like Brooke and Ben but not so certain about this musical Beatles chop and paste.

 

[lileychristie]

I am so confused by this costume. Why are we a waiter? What is waiter-y about this music? And why oh why are we tempting the skating gods by skating to this music? This is the music we play in our minds during a men's skating competition, except this cover needs to burned with fire.

 

[elektra blue]

nerves? the pressure of being podium contenders? i've seen them doing way better

 

[elektra blue]

oh ugh the super terrible Queen cover........

this version should really bites the dust.

there's a lounge cover for everything and it sucks

Why are we skating to yet more cursed music? Also, le sigh for vague Egyptian Arms. A lot more of a fight than in France

 

[elektra blue]

this program is...just bad...it doesn't suit them and the music is...bad

 

[Dawn825]

That growling voice over was upsetting

 

[CellarDweller]

Also, le sigh for vague Egyptian Arms.

That sounds like the name of a music group. "Egyptian Arms".

 

[lileychristie]

I thought they did well not doing Egyptian arms here..... but maybe I'm just too tired to notice, it's almost midnight here and I've had a loooong day

 

[Seven Sisters]

Looking very French today, are the Kovalevs. Not necessarily a bad thing

Love these two, and what they bring to the world of pairs skating

 

[bartlebooth]

Messiness all around, unfortunately

forza Sara e Niccolò!
