2015 Russian Nationals Free Dance

[MK's Winter]

You can tell the ESPN3 commentators know absolutely nothing about Ice Dance. They haven't said a word since this performance began.

I'll take not so great commentary to watch it live. I do enjoy Tatianna Flade though.

This is so odd. They've been chatterboxes for the Ladies and Mens event today, now I keep forgetting there's a commentary team at all.

But yeah, still appreciate ESPN airing it live. Commentary is not too important.

 

[sabinfire]

Okay, now the commentators are talking again, but they are discussing the Men's event in the middle of the Ice Dance.

I too appreciate the live skating! I do with ALL commentators would stay silent during the performances and save all commentary for the replay.

I find it sort of jarring.

 

[sabinfire]

Well, they've been talking non-stop for 5 minutes over the top of the Ice Dance performances, entirely about the Men's event!

 

[LisaM]

Well I can't blame them. It's not been very interesting so far.

 

[Alba]

Well I can't blame them. It's not been very interesting so far.

They don't have to talk though.

Is it just me or sportbox has no commentary at all?

I am getting a very mid '90s feel with those costumes. Yellow and purple and stripes...

 

[MK's Winter]

I am taking my kids ice skating later. I am going to attempt to twizzle. It could be fun.

I was thinking they were a cross between bumblebees and flowers!

Does anyone have the ESPN link to watch the freelance live? I can't find it.

I don't have a link but it is called ESPN watch

Oh man hell yes. I only did speed skating as a kid so I'm dying to try.

Also this music is so appropriate for this entire competition lmao.

 

[fleeting]

Is it just me, or do many of the blonde Russian female ice dancers all look alike? Sinitsina, Stepanova, Safronova...

 

[MK's Winter]

My husband said this team looks like flagmen for a road crew. I can never watch skating in peace

 

[LisaM]

She has wonderful flexibility.

I actually got confused at first and looked at the starting order, since I thought this was Sinitsina out there now.

 

[Alchamei]

Does anyone has a working link that is not geoblocked?

 

[LisaM]

The Hunger Games again?
