2015 Cup of China Short Dance

[Mista Ekko]

Geez this music is terrible.

They're pretty hot though

 

[Blades of Passion]

Won't win, but C/L have my favorite SD of the season so far.

Same here.

But, Ice Dance is boring to me the past 2 years. Virtue/Moir, Davis/White, Pechalat/Bourzat....we've been robbed. These other teams are just...not there. I'm even longing for at least Ilinykh/Katsalapov now, but they had to go and ruin that.

 

[Mirunna]

C/B's SD is really open and a bit sloppy skated tonight compared to C/L. C/L should win this BY FAR. I can't believe the Shibs are constantly behind this team, sorry. Just compare the Shibs SD from China with this program and tell me which one is better.

 

[sabinfire]

Slow-mo replays completely worthless.

 

[MK's Winter]

Yeah, if they skate well I expect them to make a statement with Frida. So far I/Z's score is just above S/K in Skate America (just because S/K had a deduction, otherwise they would have lost to S/K too) and just below Bobrova/Solovied in Cup of China. They must really nail the FD and put up a big score tomorrow

I'm interested to see the protocol. This is a pretty neutral GP, I never go off SA, especially when Marina is there.

 

[Sugarpova]

congrats to C/L

 

[tulosai]

Oh wow they are in second!! Shocker! :hap93:

 

[Mirunna]

PCS ov over 36 =))=)) 2 points over C/L =))=))
I am not even mad. It's actually funny

 

[peese]

Nicky commented on Evan breaking forward on the first twizzle but it was Madison who was slow on it.

 

[Snow63]

Oh my! Chock/Bates are below Cappellini/Lanotte! BUT THEIR PCS ARE MONSTEROUS!

 

[nocturnalis]

When people started talking about C/B being here, I was confused. I didn't know Chock/Bates were going to be here because nobody was checking for them this week.

 

[tulosai]

Major issues with C/B TES... was only 29 in the end. Protocols will be interesting.

 

[Dr. Jenn]

Great! I am glad to see that this competition is being judged fairly (although I do think C/B's PCS are too high). I was really impressed with C/L. Something about C/B just rubs me the wrong way... I can't quite put my finger on it. It's partly that they're mismatched (physically and in terms of skill level), partly that I find her presentation a bit over the top, but that's not totally it... Hmm...

 

[matcha]

Yoooo, just woke up in time to see C/B come in second.

 

[Alex D]

Madison and Evan, have the best SD this season for me (of those I saw until now ). I love how he presents her, how the transitions are done, no break in the choreography and music, like with the couples before, wonderful.

Great work there, it´s a real dance for me, Ballroom

I felt the Italians were technical stronger, they also had no visible mistake.

They probably missed KPs and levels. Definitely on the twizzles. I think it's a lovely, traditional program. It's not going to rock your world, but it's a good time for them to tackle a staunchly traditional program.

Fairly scored event methinks.

Same here.

I agree...this season especially is tough for me, there were lots of expectation but TBH none of teams which I even like had brought it. All these SD/FD seems bland, empty and uninspiring for me (maybe except Gilles/Poirier FD). I'm disappointed by almost everyone. And cannot understand that hype for Chock/Bates and their PCS - this is for me one of most mismatched duos in ID history...

 

[Snow63]

They still have a gigantic PCS cusion for FD, though.

 

[Mirunna]

Oh my! Chock/Bates are below Cappellini/Lanotte! BUT THEIR PCS ARE MONSTEROUS!

And completely undeserved. C/L were amazing tonight. Now I really root for them to win this and I/Z to snatch the second place with their amazing Frida

 

[GF2445]

Oh dear. Something must've went wrong.

About C/B's keypoints, their badly disguised 6/8 waltz is hurting them badly.
