2022 European Championships: Free Dance

[Seven Sisters]

I do like the Taschlers and find them unacceptably underrated. I find Filip is especially expressive, with good musicality

There are quite a lot of siblings in dance. Are there also siblings in pairs?

Why was the GOE for the step sequence so low? Did I miss a mistake?

they made a mistake

 

[norwegianfairytale]

Ahw that seems a bit low

 

[LadyB]

An error in the step sequence...

Small fry, plenty of time to get everything right!

I was hoping for a place in the top 10 to get another ID couple to Europeans in 2023. But it's the move from 19th in 2020 to 12th place now, the next year I expect another step up in the ranks.

Things are really going to heat up in the next group. What will D/S score and how well will H/S skate? Popcorn time

Lady B has perhaps been enjoying adult beverages in pubs with hunky pairs skaters again

Sounds great to me!

Martin Bidař has a brother who is his coach if that counts

The Swedish pairs team are actually twins I believe! Definitely siblings

It will be upwards from now on, no doubt!

John Nicks (who's 92 years old) used to compete in Pairs with his sister in the 50s.
Nowadays I think that's not very frequent to have two siblings who have the physical characteristics required by Pairs skating (one tall and strong, the other tiny).

Thought they had some charming moves in this dance.

petition to have the Brezinas switching to pairs

 

[LadyB]

Sounds great to me!

It was!

That makes totally sense. Didn´t think about the height difference.

Would that be, EUROPEAN SILVER MEDALIST Daniel Grassl?

I feel that we the friends of Mama Elektra deserve some of the credit for this

Martin Bidař has a brother who is his coach if that counts

Also, historical example, Shae Lynn Bourne started off skating pairs with her brother, then switched to dance

Sandra Bezic, better known as a choreographer, skated pairs with her brother
