2021 Gran Premio d'Italia: Free Dance

[LiamV426]

I want to love P/C's FD so much but I feel cold... it doesn't feel like an Olympic moment at all.

They are amazing obviously, but I want to be left bald and crying like I was with Tessa and Scott in 2018. Hell P/C themselves in 2018!!

I hope they'll get new costumes for the olympics.

These do have the feel of “placeholder” costumes, especially his

I'm still a little on the fence about Papadakis/Cizeron's program. They do the arm movements at the beginning which are interesting, then bring them back in the choreographic sequence, but I'd like to see them integrate more of them throughout the program. I don't like their rotational lift. It isn't special. Beautifully skated of course, I'm just not sure about it as a whole yet. Do I think they should win the Olympics? Absolutely. Do I think the should keep tweaking this program? Yes.

I love Gabby and Guillaume, but I loved Madi/Zach's FD muchh more

 

[elektra blue]

predictable gold for P/C. guess who else got gold?

 

[rollerblade]

I hope they'll get new costumes for the olympics.

This costume highlights Cizeron and make Papadakis sorta blend into the ice.

 

[litenkyckling]

The highest scoring bronze so far

 

[Seven Sisters]

Hey Moonvine, are you still here? GabI has a stuffie. Somebody must have braved the COVID protocols to get it to her

 

[labgoat]

You mean H/D I think. H/B would not be going all ah-ah-ah on us.
Then again, we haven’t seen their programs yet, and you never can tell. I hope not, though

Jean-Luc going ah-ah-ah in an exhibition could be kinda funny. Kaitlin could roll her eyes.

 

[LadyB]

Ah well, S/B and H/D are where I wanted them to be. Time to get my bangers & mash ready before the pairs.

 

[Baron Vladimir]

I'm bored but at least i've got the perfect score again

For both those reasons i'm going to prepare myself one strong dinner before the next competition

 

[Ichatdelune]

Time to refill my bottle of peach-infused green tea

Faure for the Olympics! Such good music, Balanchine would approve!
Beautiful costumes, though I think that the ones they had earlier this season matched the program better.

Fauré is indeed amazing. Also, they didn't pick the best known piece one would expect. Nothing to say about that for sure, except that with all the slower pieces we got today, it didn't have the ethereal and peaceful effect hoped for... it added to the long list of slower tempi dances. We will have to wait and see how it sounds like for the final flight of the O games...

And honestly whoever's filming this event needs to be fired because these camera angles are NOT it.

The camera work is horrendous. Zooming in for a close-up of Gabby's face in their straight-line lift? What the hell?

 

[Skatingcat]

Oh lovely /sarcasm.

Peack has frozen so many times I feel like I never got to see the program. Even the scores were delayed due to the yellow spinning circle of death.

Is it your wifi? I watched on Peacock and mine didn't freeze once

Peacock premium never froze for me. It was excellent - also because no chatty commentary.

Same on both comments.

I haven't had any problems lately with Peacock either.

But who was hoping for ethereal and peaceful?
