2015 NHK Free Dance

I could see the Anna Karenina story in their skate, quite nice. Should be enough to go into first.

 

[caitie]

Wow, that is a HUGE jump from Skate Canada. IIRC they got like a 96 there...

 

[Daniel1998]

Will that beat H/D? (I'm hoping it does, for predictions' sake)

 

[WeakAnkles]

B/S. Well he needs to give me face in the first thrid of the program. You're in love. Show it. You need that to set up the betrayal of the end. She's out there emoting her little heart out and he's a bit too stone face.

It may not be your cuppa, but that is a choreographically complex program, far more so than S/B's. I think they can start packing for Boston.

Yup. 103+. Start packing kids.

 

[NaVi]

Drags on a bit at the end for me... I won't say the last 2/3rds more like the last 1/3rd... and some of the choreography at the end is a little hard to parse.

 

[Bumdid]

Well, if S/B got 98 for their atrocity of a FD, then I guess 103 is reasonable.

 

[Dots]

There is no way that program is worth 103... lol

 

[ruffledgrouse]

Unpopular Opinion: I like Madison's moth wings (but not with the high neck on the dress)

 

[Watermelondrea]

Will B/S take second!????????????? HOPE SO!!

 

[Dots]

Are the judges trying to make sure B/S go to the GPF ? This is scandalous!!

 

[jg2000]

REALLY hoping this is enough for B/S to make GPF

 

[Watermelondrea]

REALLY hoping this is enough for B/S to make GPF

So there are 3 into the GPF, with at least third do they not make it? So beats them into it?

 

[jg2000]

They need second, and then they're automatically in. Third won't do it, they need to beat S/K. So hoping they beat H/D here, hey, then both go to the GPF.

 

[Daniel1998]

Oh man, this will be close. All depends on PCS.

 

[Bumdid]

This is going to come down to PCS...

 

[Mista Ekko]

Tech implies they might've lost it,

But i'd give them the edge

 

[wordsworthgirl]

Am I right in feeling that Zack is just a fabulous ice dancer? A bit better than Madi?

 

[jg2000]

the suspense!!

 

[WeakAnkles]

H/D will drop.

 

[Scovies]

First time I've seen H/D's FD -- I've gotta say, I'd put Chock and Bates behind both them and the Shibs. I'm really interested to see what the international judges will do at the GPF.
