[anonymoose_au]

Yay into 1st!

On that note good luck to Group 2.

@LadyB cheer loudly for Nikita and Vika for me.

And goooo the other President of the Small and Mighty Club - Marco "Fabbo" Fabbbri and Charlene

Good night!

So long as they have a new gala skate, i will be happy with H/B

 

[cheerknithanson]

Victoria....why are you wearing those earrings? That's a safety hazard!

 

[auser]

Great to see H/B again. They had me at the curve lift and there was so much more I cheered at. Judges can bleep off who don't see it..kidding, but kind of not.

How is it possible Nikita´s shirts are getting worse each time

Another moaner cover. Who picked this music?

choreo by Romain Haguenauer, Marie-France Dubreuil, Sam Chouinard, Gigi Cournoyer, Kaitlin Hawayek, Jean-Luc Baker

A committee. No one is taking full responsibility.

 

[Seven Sisters]

Sultry is not a quality that I associate with Kaitlin. This seems well conceptualized, decent choreo, but I’m not sure it’s the right dance for them. Decent score though, well done for a first outing!

 

[LadyB]

Those two russian teams have better twizzles than S/K, lol

S/K are World and European Champs. It‘s not just twizzles in ice dance, there are many more components to it. From Russia with love!

Because these two Russian teams do not turn up and win every event as a given. Let them have fun. All GPs have high scoring for their home teams. PC have high scoring everywhere.
And yes, I‘ve enjoyed that a lot. Especially when I can scream for them for real. Which I did for P&P at Rostelecom 2019 as well.

stop lying, they didnt get 89 in finlandia or italy. SK win every event as a given, too. What are you talking about??They get high goe for their weak flat-edged skatin and , twizzles.They are massively overscored , 95% people dont understand it(yes most russians too)

I think the more funny version of disco they did with the Travolta program suited H/B better.

Isn't it the same shirt what he wore at NHK, but in a different color?

L1 step sequence. Of course.

To be fair, they've been dealing with injury and weren't ready to compete even a couple weeks ago. So a level 1 steps could be fair - it wouldn't be surprising if they aren't totally ready on some elements.

 

[brigit66]

S/K are World and European Champs. It‘s not just twizzles in ice dance, there are many more components to it. From Russia with love!

But they got too much points for it , thats the case. Their twizzles are very easy, no transistions, no change of directions. the are so stressed during them it is sad to look at

I vote he just gets rid of shirt, because plain black t-shirt he has under it would look better

 

[brigit66]

I really don't think the baggy shirt works - it makes his lines look so off and messy

It is for hiding his hunchback posture

 

[SnowWhite]

Yikes on the twizzles

Your point is well taken about being on post-injury comeback, but within the competition, there is relativity. Check out S/A steps again and tell me why they are 3 levels above H/B.

 

[brigit66]

H/K, levels 4 for everything

 

[Seven Sisters]

Kiril K also noticeably lacking in the sultry department His moves are making me giggle, and it’s too early in the morning here for that

 

[GGFan]

It cracks me up that they use Partition. Do the judges know that the song is all about having sex in the back of a limo?
