2022 Olympics Team Event Day1: Rhythm Dance

[satine]

oh my lord they have sherbet colored masks too

 

[anonymoose_au]

Do you think they'll keep these costumes for the individual event?

Ooo that's a thought maybe they'll go all Rythmic Gymnastics and have their original costumes for that!

GILLES Piper / POIRIER Paul

I actually like the bold color of their costumes, though I think they're also a bit cheap-looking. That said, they have very good edging and precision, sacrificing some speed in their elements. They have a LOT of tricky connections that are just insane. I think this is going to go into second for now.

who is the tech panel? yeah.. yeah...

They are style goals!

At least for my crazy self.

I wonder how Keegan is getting along? Any news there?

You know when you are known for abusing your partner, it isn't easy to be hated. And, perhaps this is the one example of appropriate hate in figure skating?

Dislike someone all you want, but in the warmup situation Nikita wasn't the skater in the wrong, H/D were going forward they were the skaters that should have moved to avoid contact.

 

[SnowWhite]

They'll be disappointed with that gap. H/D deserve to be in first though

Piper and Paul always bring it, even in the bows, and I love them for it.

The costumes are a choice, but I like outside the box. Better than another gauzy dress and another fake jacket.

 

[GGFan]

It’s feeling like that World medal last year was a lifetime achievement award for G/P. The judges are not seeing it for them right now.

 

[figureskatingandrainbows]

The tech panel is hungry... if they're like this in the women we're going to have a real time

 

[Ziotic]

They got hammered, likely will be behind G/F.

Clearly Canada has no bargaining chips.

 

[museksk8r]

Aww, those RD scores do not bode well for G/P’s medal chances. A shame!

 

[Mista Ekko]

Not great the Canada...

Kurt Browning said tonight that Keegan is still in Vancouver.

 

[4everchan]

i can see how the Italians will edge Piper and Paul... sigh

 

[readernick]

I love the Italians! Such precision!

 

[anonymoose_au]

Shoma opens this event for the Small but Mighty Club and here's Marco to continue the fun!

There's so many songs in this though, Danny G is jelly

 

[Jasira]

Doesn´t look so great for Team Canada this time. Dance was supposed to be their strongest discipline. Piper and Paul did well enough, but the scores weren´t great.

 

[readernick]

Dislike someone all you want, but in the warmup situation Nikita wasn't the skater in the wrong, H/D were going forward they were the skaters that should have moved to avoid contact.

Didn't see that incident and wasn't commenting on it. I was commenting on why Nikita is (deservedly) hated.
