2022 Winter Olympics: Rhythm Dance

[figureskatingandrainbows]

Oh dear, I'm worried moths got into Ivan's shirt...

 

[anonymoose_au]

I love this!

I am sad they:re not actually a couple though. Ah well them's the brakes!

Ivan also wins best hair!

 

[Hyena]

Glad Stepanova/Bukin made it to Olympic ice finally. So fun, just wish they had a better (preferably another BSB) song for the middle part of the program.

 

[cake]

I think S/B were sharper at Europeans...

 

[rollerblade]

Help someone attack her dress!

Stepanova's? I want to pull that strap hanging off her skirt.

 

[ruffledgrouse]

I do not understand her costume at all, it is like a cross between a lululemon yoga outfit gone wrong and a nightgown gone wrong.

Oh, honey, the late 90s/early 2000s were a dark dark time for fashion...

 

[Mista Ekko]

Eurosport guys got the hots for S\B

 

[Novalis]

Why does the Finnish commentator say Ivan Buking? Is he a King now

 

[labgoat]

I think S/B were sharper at Europeans...

I think all of them are being a bit nervous and careful. This is a tough panel.

Help someone attack her dress!

Just because it's street dance doesn't mean the clothes should be picked from the corner bin?

 

[LadyB]

Well done!!!! I totally love the programme. Not sure about Sasha's costume, but who cares. Ace performance!

 

[Chris Cooper]

So excited for Lilah and Lewis. It's such a hot competition so far, we need them to bring it on for Team GB!!

STEPANOVA Alexandra / BUKIN Ivan (ROC)

Eh, I just wish they picked better music than this N'Sync (EDIT) Backstreet Boys mashup something. I think they're better than the music choice. Twizzles were just above average for them, could have had more ice coverage and better synch. They should get high levels for their midnight blue and pattern steps, maybe their hips could be closer. I think they were able to exude that hot hip-hop energy quite well and they're among the first pairs to sell that street dance vibe to me.

 

[lariko]

Oh, wow, so happy to see a great score for S/B!

 

[museksk8r]

The teams are looking nervy in this RD. I agree that S/B were much sharper at Europeans, but they will easily take the lead with that dance.

 

[Seven Sisters]

Ooh, a dramatic rise in the scoring trend! All of a sudden!

Oh, honey, the late 90s/early 2000s were a dark dark time for fashion...

For real, ladies were wearing suit pants WITH skirts.

It's been like 20 years and I still can't even.

Huge score, whoo!

And here's the Disco Brits!
