2022 European Championships: Free Dance

[ana]

Nikita/Victoria were brilliant. Love them.

 

[Jasira]

I´m already exited if Russia will split dance in the Team Event. Surely Nikita can´t skate 4 times in such a short period of time

 

[LadyB]

Nikita is better dressed for once and this was a solid performance. No matter what everyone says, I want SinKats do well at Olys!

I would love that medal for S/B after the disaster of 2018.

some of the lift positions on the slowmo aren't the prettiest - definitely look different

Viktoria Sinitsina could never fade into anything! She ALWAYS stands out.

But, seriously, I do agree. Wishy-washy costumes do not work against a backdrop of ice.

She is very striking and doesn't deserve such a pale color.

 

[litenkyckling]

no KnC will beat last Euros for most painful

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Am I the only one who liked Vika's royal blue dress better. She just fades into the ice.

I wouldn't mind blue if it was in this cut.

 

[litenkyckling]

I would call that very generous - and I'm pretty ambivelent about both S/K and P/C

 

[momrk]

Yay for the bronze medalists!!

 

[viennaskater]

S K overscored. As usual. Would have given it to step bukin.

 

[labgoat]

I wouldn't mind blue if it was in this cut.

That would work for me too although I liked the classic look with classical music.

 

[Alegria]

Their one foot step sequence is the weakest I ever saw. It's sooo short and simple.

 

[LadyB]

Yessss!!!!! Yessss! Yesssss! C'mon, guys , bring it at the Olys!!! Love you!!!!

 

[GGFan]

I think it's a good sign that even at Euros in Estonia S/K did not beat P/C season's best. I don't mind them on the podium as long as they're not in the top spot. That would be one political bridge too far.

 

[slider11]

Impressive power and edges from S/K. Their transitions are still somewhat sloppy and the program is uninspired (Hawayek and Baker did classical right this year). The last part of the program completely cheapens it and looks like 1990s Lord of the dance. Sorry, but this better not win gold in Beijing. Don't be too greedy Russia.

Agreed. The ending really doesn't work and is such an obvious add-on to show fast steps and energy but is not cohesive to the whole performance.

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Ok, going to eat breakfast and/or nap till Women's. See you all then!

 

[elektra blue]

i go doing something with my life for this 1 hour and a half see you later, don't forget your popcorns?

 

[Jammers]

Considering P/C weren't here you would think the score would be higher but i think the judges know who is the better team.

Yes, I don't think any amount of influence will allow them to win the Olympics unless P/ C falter. But, to me they are really number 5 /6 in the World in quality. I would prefer that they weren't on the podium. But, ice dance judging is as it is...so...??.
