[CaroLiza_fan]

Time for our first visit to Alexandra Palace of the day. But, it is just the Fear sisters and their partners today.

ALL THE BEST SASHA AND GEORGE!!!

The question is will Mariia HOLUBTSOVA and her hair take the lead away from her fellow Odessan, Danijil SZEMKO?

Yeah, they will!

Odesa, not Odessa.
I'm surprised to see so many dancers from my native city. And even Sasha and George brought a medal from Odesa in October.

That was a sweet little Nutcracker program and mne nravitsya

The voiceover says "Love is beautiful" in a tone as if love has just died.

Didn’t someone else skate to that very recently? Anyone remember?

 

[EdgeCall]

I have only seen part of the Brits, but it looked beautiful!

The "Love is beautiful" part is also included in Guignard/Fabbri's rather excellent Atonement FD

That was beautiful to watch And George totally looks like a prince

Enjoyed their straight line and rotational lift near the end. Pleasant way to extend a bit of the recent holiday spirit.

Charlene and Marco.

But as far as I remember Sara and Adria were first who used that.

Time for Bolero, sibling tango, and that awful cover of Bad Romance

 

[EdgeCall]

The female announcer had a hard night again ...

Wow that is quite a hairstyle, Nazarova

Wow that is quite a hairstyle, Nazarova

Just wait until you hear the music

Really like this programme. But, I do have a weakness for Tchaikovsky music.

So close to breaking the 100 point mark! But, they take the lead, and that is the main thing,

I meant to tell you yesterday when I mentioned the other Ally Pally partnership that is not here this week, India Netté / Eron Westwood (AUS). You can see their rink in the film "Last Christmas" (2019). And India also appears in it as a stuntwoman.

Tina and Simon is dressed for the red carpet.

Odesa, not Odessa.

Oops. Sorry, didn't realise this was one of the places that had alternative spellings depending on the language. I had only ever seen it spelt with the double s. But, I know now.

I'm surprised to see so many dancers from my native city. And even Sasha and George brought a medal from Odesa in October.

You're lucky. I could only dream of that for my hometown.

Yep, I watched that event. My kids won the Junior Dance!

That makes me already think of Kamila´s Bolero

 

[EdgeCall]

Nothing against the singer, but this interpretation of the Bolero imho completely misses the point. Nice choreography though.

 

[readernick]

This is better, more creative and unique than the Bolero that will win the Olympics but I enjoy it less than I would if it was choreographed to something else. I think this team is getting less messy so that's good.

Ok, I'll give in to my addiction and watch some ice dance. But only because it's Euros and because of the good company in this thread
