2024 European Championships Free Dance

[elektra blue]

I have not seen Davis/Smolkin's free skate costumes before...and I think we have some new nominees for the WTF costume awards!

they are oooooh if they are (only Smolkin's though. Diana's is just regular tutu)

 

[norwegianfairytale]

is it in 45 minutes?

Sounds likely

 

[Ichatdelune]

Gleb deserves some credit for his costume

He is nominated for the most prestigious fashion award of the season already, what else does he need?

I love that free dance of Turkkila/Versluis

 

[bartlebooth]

at Juulia's dress.. she really graces us lesser mortals with her ethereal presence.

 

[LadyB]

Okay, guys!
I'm semi-emotionally involved on behalf of LiLew (but that's already decided) and the Taschlers (all to play for!!!).

So, this group will be a nice warm-up for things to come.
C'mon the M&Ms!!!

Oh no, I did not expect that at all, they looked so very confident in all the elements

 

[Ichatdelune]

Well that was unexpected, they fell often on the lifts in their junior days but never on the one foot steps

...I have a feeling this will win the battle of the Swan Lakes. I love the speed, attack, and Katerina's dedication to perilously long skirts. The lifts and spin were unique but fit well with the theme of the program. and then Daniel goes and stumbles on the one-foot

 

[CrazyKittenLady]

Oh dear, just came back from collecting all the cats for the night to a terrible wobble from Daniel.

 

[icewhite]

I like this much better than their short. But that stumble.

The lifts and spin were unique but fit well with the theme of the program. and then Daniel goes and stumbles on the one-foot which was so exquisite up until then and there's a lot of arm-flapping

you can see in my gif Katarina's reaction to Daniel's mistake

The first lift is, ahem, 'homaging' Gilles/Poirier though

Shame aboutt the mistake of Daniel in one foot sequence, he did well to avoid falling down.

That error notwithstanding I was impressed, a lot of speed and she showed a similar maturity to Ilinykh who also danced to this music as a very young girl. Not sure whether I like their gaping mouths though lol.

Is chemistry really the right word Chris when you talk about siblings?

 

[jgg220]

Mrazkova and brother are my favorite new senior team by a mile, but they desperately need a coach who can fix their levels and inconsistency issues. My dream would be Arribert but I'd be fine with Babs, if they want to stay in Italy.

 

[TT_Fin]

Though Swan lake is quite used, is not overused for me so I still like it. It may sound weird as I have told I like rock and metal but I like also classical.

The programme was beautifully skated until he lost the balance.

 

[Seven Sisters]

I don't know, I think her facial expressions ruin it a bit for me.

Does she not remind you of Stepanova quite a bit? I think that every time I watch her
