2018 Canadian Nationals Senior Free Dance

[gravy]

Norwegians are particularly welcomed in the US.

Omfg I could not when I heard that this week. I want to leave solely because of him; but I just got my green card last year.

 

[Baron Vladimir]

Great

 

[SarahSynchro]

OMG all the points! Spectacular! There are tears in my eyes.

Whoever keeps cutting onions in these threads this weekend needs to stawwwwwp! :sad21:

 

[rain]

Perfect score! AWWWWWWW

 

[kresslia]

LOL they got the perfect score

I love Nationals

 

[amateur]

I don't think V/M were really "on" in the first half, not a peak performance overall (which is fine, for here).

You can see they're not ecstatic over this performance by any means

 

[jillredhand]

AAHAHHAH PERFECT SCORE! Oh boy, I'm excited for the Olympic showdown.

 

[WeirwoodTreeHugger]

Love this program so much I can't even hate that it's MR.

 

[xeyra]

There ya go, perfect score.

 

[NoNameFace]

Love it. Just amazing. Also Scott's new costume it hot.

parity of illusion mesh, Tessa has, Scott asked too for it, but yeah, looks HOT

 

[pearly]

Pleasantly surprised they gave it to G/P.

V/M's second half still feels like a letdown. I like the final lift though.

Oh wow, to me this change of the last part of the program really works. The final lift is just WOW.
I think they had a visible issue in their Carmen lift though.

 

[Mrs. P]

I like the first half. I like the second half. But as a cohesive dance, still not there yet for me? But no denying the technical/choreographic firepower and it was a really good performance.

 

[MelDee]

So we really got to see the 124.7, lol.

 

[synteis]

Perfect and yes it's Nationals but I don't care. I'm still crying. I don't want to say goodbye.

 

[pearly]

124.7

 

[gravy]

I like Tessa and Scott looking like they're on the verge of having sexy time on the ice... their schmaltzy dances aren't my favorite but I loved that ending way more than their last program.

Tracy is really being a homer saying they're better than Torvill & Dean.

 

[SarahSynchro]

PERFECT SCORE, BEEYOTCHES!

I know it’s nationals, so before anyone wants to grumble about inflation... in the jello pit, NOW!

 

[WeirwoodTreeHugger]

They just had to give it a perfect score so people can whine about it for weeks, didn't they?

 

[rain]

I don't think V/M were really "on" in the first half, not a peak performance overall (which is fine, for here).

I actually disagree on this. I thought they looked really relaxed, yet sharp, which is perfect. I do think a couple of the reworked step sequences could still increase in speed, but that's so, so nitpick — but that's what I'd work on up to the Olympics.

The new choreography is sublime. The ending is now the Olympic moment needed. So exciting.

 

[Mrs. P]

There's no other Canadian pair who is going to get a perfect score any time soon, so I'm okay with it.
