2015 Skate America Ice Dance FD Oct 24

[whatif]

I am shocked to say these words but S/K should have won this.

 

[Violet Bliss]

Beautiful, diva, never trashy, yes! But OTT? Come on, no one is more OTT, at least in facial expressions, than her, and gloriously so.

Well, at least she doesn't combine OTT expressions with OTT makeup.

C/B getting 9s... Sorry, I did not agree with that last season and I defenetly do not this season..

 

[Bumdid]

Now we know where Zoueva has been spending most of her time with... and it's not the ShibSibs *cough*

 

[ryn7]

Did anyone guess going into this competition that Victoria & Nikita would do *this* good?
I wasn't a believer because I didn't want to get my hopes up and get crushed but I'm SO PROUD. I hope they continue improving because they still have more to work on. but wow, this is leagues better than last season.

 

[Hyena]

Not interesting. C/B were a bit sloppy.

Well, at least it was unexpected

A copy of Samuelson and Bates lift from their cowboy program.

Ahh yes. I started thinking about Emily while watching this. That probably triggered it.:yes: Eeek, amended to add no cowboy pun intended

It seemed like S/K got most of their levels tonight

i don`t think chock and bates can win a world title with that FD too classical and generic , their pcs are ridiculous they just don`t deserve them obvious mistake from chock on the twizzles don`t think this fd deserved 100 plus on this particular day.

I agree. Sinitsina has improved and is skating with Nikita now. Wow - usually I'm watching the woman but whenever Nikita skates I'm watching him. Chock and Bates are just not interesting IMO and I still say he's bent over.

The scores were pretty high all around tonight. Given what they did, they earned their PCS.

Agree. C/B was sloppy. Home inflation saved them. I cant believe i enjoyed Vikita's program. Needs some refinement but they were fast and their elements are big. This style definitely suit them.

 

[CanadianSkaterGuy]

Yes, she had to hold Evan to not trip during second set. Anyway if not for 2 deductions, S/K could have caught them.

Nope, they still would have been behind, but cleared 100.

I didn't think they would do that well, either, but it was a pleasant surprise. I hope that I/Z stay Russian #1 though.

Nah. C/B was ahead by 8 points (?) on their short dance

 

[whatif]

Nope, they still would have been behind, 0.

By 0.7

I loved the intro of that program... big and powerful before settling in. Fantastic to see such improvement, although a bit overscored. Still worthy of 2nd, given they hit their levels.

I have no idea who will win Worlds this year if P/C aren't back by then. Maybe C/L again?

I was talking about FD.

By 0.7

Uh, yes. That's still behind.

"Could have caught them" implies "could have beat them". But with no extended lift deductions, they would have still been in 2nd in the free dance.
