2016 Trophée de France Short Dance

[TheGrandSophy]

Again agree with BESP. All outward projection and very little connection for me.

Ruslena's costumes are wonderful. I especially love his. Very elegant.

Not at all surprised to see I/Z take the lead---with RUS, BLR, KAZ, UKR and ISR (Beletski) on the judging panel. They can't make the GPF with 20 points, but they can play the spoiler with H/D and G/P.

"i don't understand" Nathalie péchalat about I/Z score

This is what I want them to do for worlds: Group all the sock hop programs together, the swings together and the hiphops together. (not sure anyone else is doing disco) That would be the best way for the audience to judge which one is better. Otherwise it all kind of mushes together and it's hard to judge a hiphop against a swing for a more casual fan (like me)

omg noon they were so great and then came the twizzles

 

[Kitt]

Wheeee Ruslena! Love them! They might eke out a silver!

 

[tulosai]

Those costumes were unforgivable. I can't even, they are just too distracting, and I say this as someone who both really likes these two and does fully understand what they were trying to go for.

 

[Mrs. P]

Given the past programs of this team, I don't know why they went so conventional here.

 

[Princessroja]

Really enjoyable from Nazarova/Nikitin! And I love her skirt; it's so poofy!

 

[Ares]

Breathtaking lift from Nazarova / Nikitin, the best so far today Not sure whether I've ever seen before that position and lift

Those twizzles were bit messy though whenever they were doing them in that program. Problems with synchronization too here or there even to my untrained eye.

 

[WeakAnkles]

N/M was DULLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLSVILLE daddy-O.

Sorry but that lift looks awkward as hell. It might not if we could actually see more of the lift than her skirt.

 

[Crossover]

I couldn't enjoy another generic program after I/Z.

Is Nathalie a commentator.... where France Eurosport?

 

[auser]

Loved that you could actually hear their hands slap together during the Tutti Frutti piece .

Is Nathalie a commentator.... where France Eurosport?

She is

 

[TheGrandSophy]

Need to work on those twizzles and there were some big errors but I liked the lift and it felt like sweethearts at a dance so they got the right feel.

 

[Ares]

I thought that the Ukrainians would score few points more.

 

[Kittosuni]

If Madison gives level 3 face, Elena definitely gives level 5 with +2 GOE. Best outing for them in a long time

The deduction was for not getting the extra life mushroom? *Supermario brothers joke*
