2023 World Figure Skating Championships Rhythm Dance

My favourite genre of Latin music: David Bowie with a vague "Latin" beat added in the background

Mine is still Adele

Well, at least he's only blind in one eye.

He is quite impartial. He just sees little things, the postures, the deep of the knees and he knows the demands of difficulty levels. Like he said Finn's steps level is their weakness.

 

[Dr. Jenn]

Wow - Great job by Madison and Evan! That was a fun performance, and they skated very well. I want to like her dress, but there's something off about the execution of it (although I like the idea). He looks great, if bland.

It is SUPPOSED to be the technical program, though—where teams with better technical skills should shine.

(Yes, I know, that’s the theory—sometimes the reality does not match up.)

Is Madison Chock the best ice dancer in this group?

 

[Dr. Jenn]

Is Madison Chock the best ice dancer in this group?

Hard no... I would probably say best = Laurence, worst = Lilah, followed by Madison

 

[LadyB]

Is Madison Chock the best ice dancer in this group?

The best looking female for sure - by miles.

 

[labgoat]

Charlene & mighty Marco. Ferocious speed and technical ability wrapped in an energetic package. Well done!

 

[4everchan]

The best looking female for sure - by miles.

I'd put Laurence ahead in both tech and looks

 

[LadyB]

There were no prizes for guessing.

 

[Ichatdelune]

I mean I know it is predetermined but still it does deflate me a bit

 

[TT_Fin]

Well I must work for a while before women. Probably cannot watch any FD live tomorrow so best luck everybody for it.

 

[anonymoose_au]

Yikes!

Also isn't the World Record not possible anyway because they've changed the PCS now? Figure skating doesn't actually do World Records for this very reason.

Yaaaas the Aussies got through!

Sorry to see our Kiwi Bros didn't manage it though!

 

[4everchan]

Wow... interesting that Patrice only appeared for Chock and Bates too...while MF did the job for everyone else... I guess he is ISU coach of the year and shows up for the chosen ones.

PS i am not that mad... if i were, I wouldn't watch this sport anymore... but really... i feel my limits being tested

 

[labgoat]

Charlene & mighty Marco. Ferocious speed and technical ability wrapped in an energetic package. Well done!

 

[Seven Sisters]

That is…a very high score and I predict that no one will be able to overcome that lead in the free.

I mean, absent disaster like obvious twizzle error, fall, etc

 

[anonymoose_au]

Haha OMG look at Piper and Paul werking it like a bunch of bosses! And a small bronze for RD! Definitely one to watch!

 

[Skater Boy]

OMG I called it. Canada got dumped. This is so unfair. Both Canadian teams underscored. This is outrageous. I kind of though this might happen. It's nothing against Canada but with Piper's surgery but the momentum favoured the other team. Now way the Brits should beat the Danadians. And Charlene and Marco were good but flat as usual. They should have been behind. C and B will be ahead by a tonnes. Poor canada hopefully the judges will show some love to Keegan. Italy already had their gift in pairs though they were good. Now in dance. I realize so many good teams but I know the skating order doesn't help both Canadians but they both or at l east one should be a placement higher. Gold Chock and Bates. I am disappointed. Unless the judges make it up in the free I am disappointed. OMG i called it. the judges gave gold to Chock and bates. The Canadians must be in tears.

he is right

 

[LadyB]

I won't stop being nervous until FD now. I so want Piper and Paul not only on the podium, but also higher than bronze. They deserve it so much!

 

[icewhite]

I would like ice dance a lot more if the scoring had something to do with the skating ability.

 

[Mauve]

Yes personal best! Congrats!

Charlene & mighty Marco. Ferocious speed and technical ability wrapped in an energetic package. Well done!

Yes!
Chock/Bates 4 pts advance over them is a bit harsh, I don't know if their FP can make up for it...
