I think it helps us remember them. Maybe they don't get lost in the pack so easily aka there is no bad publicity

Touché

I'm liking the German couple, I see great potential in their future!

She's so beautiful! So is Nazarova. Why did they wear those hideous outfits? [emoji23]
No no no.

I agree, both teams are very attractive.

Lorenz / Polizoakis (GER)

Fine unison in the step sequence and safe edging but it could be a bit faster. Alright rhumba pattern which could have deeper curves. Alright edging in the partial step which could have quicker turns. A bit out of sync in the last two sets of the twizzles but wonderful first set. Decent rotational lift to end.

I felt that their movement could be fuller, particularly the hip action, and that they could emphasize the beat more. Their edging leaned on more of the safe and secure side which should give them the nod in the technical department. Nicely done.

I hate both.

Consistency is key! :agree:

True! I was totally waiting ever since Euros to see that time-to-amputate leg fringe infection again!

My friend on Twitter: "This ice dance team’s aesthetic is “what if a pirate did a dance with his parrot?""

Haha yes

 

[Bumdid]

Isabella shoulda been there instead

Let me just say how deeply bitter I am that this isn't Tobias and Tkachenko. I hate it, I hate it, I hate it.

They are so good, and these two are so......... new.

Additional fun fact: when writing about citizenship at the Olympics for an academic conference, I've dubbed country hopping 'the Tobias Question'.

 

[Chemistry66]

I wish Tobias/Tkachenko were here.

 

[GGFan]

Hard to distinguish some of these twizzles from spins

What is the Israeli teams vocal saying...my poor ears hear it as vodka, vodka vodka...aren't they too young for that?

 

[moriel]

ohh the dress that matches the boards

 

[Caro]

I wish they've picked another one. Wasn't Latin last year theme for the short dance?

 

[Bumdid]

Tobias/Tckachenko wouldn't have been caught with this aesthetics :handw:

 

[labgoat]

I miss her and her gorgeous dresses.

My version is funnier I think

No, it was hip hop and blues. And once again, the board's hate for it was only equaled by my love

 

[fleeting]

I'm going to FIGHT the entire government of Israel for not giving Ilia his citizenship in time :hopelessness:
