2024 European Championships Free Dance

[el henry]

I like Rocky.

I like Lilah and Lewis' version of Rocky.

I like it better than Allison and Saulus.

I like it better than the uber drama of Charlene and Marco, actually. If you're going to go in, go all in. And yes Charlene and Marco have slides and lifts and even skating and all that other good stuff. But the pretentiousness just doesn't speak to me and I don't think Rocky is *that* bad skating (obviously Lilah's error notwithstanding).

So there.

I am all about the great comp the Italians are having overall, however.

Have used up all my FD tears on the Taschlers, but that was beautiful, and the way they express the breaking of Marco’s heart in this, is a first rate piece of ice dance theater IMHO

 

[elektra blue]

There are our champions

you're italian too?

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Deserved winners though Alison and Saulius are my personal faves.

 

[Dreamer57]

That was very beautiful.

I actually wish they could win worlds with performances like this.
It really suits them

 

[elektra blue]

Yay yay yay

I´m wished the Finns a place up but other then that I´m very pleased with the result and I can´t get over how great this was watching

me too...they would have scored me 15 points

Well done Charlene/Marco! They were perfect. It's always a joy to watch them skating.

 

[Dawn825]

Such good costumes

The absolutely highlight of today for me was Demougeot and le Mercier--I would love to see them medal next year. Wonderful entertainment from Orihara and Pirinen! A stunning home bronze for the Lithuanians! Chris's commentary was still intermittently incoherent although there was no clear mustard! Congratulations to the gold and silver medallists even though I don't like either of their free dances!

Marco and Charlene were fantastic IMO, should win comfortably. For me demonstrated great emotional connections and expressiveness and of course their skating skills are always top notch.

Now the quesiton of all questions:

Given that EC 2025 is in Zagreb and there is no top ice dance team from Croatia, who'll get the bronze ?

 

[Sabsi]

These european championships are really italian games. Absolutely love it. Bravo

 

[norwegianfairytale]

me too...they would have scored me 15 points

Same, but i´m going to be very pleased with 70 points considering how bad the other disciplines went

 

[norwegianfairytale]

Now the quesiton of all questions:

Given that EC 2025 is in Zagreb and there is no top ice dance team from Croatia, who'll get the bronze ?

Maybe L/B

 

[elektra blue]

frateeelliiiiii d'itaaaaaaliaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

 

[LadyB]

The suspense was nearly killing me!

Love you and leave you. Might see you for exhibitions.

 

[norwegianfairytale]

Just caught myself that I am reading comments on Goldenskate and not watching the actual performance. The only time it's happened to me in the past four hours. Sorry G/F, you're not my cup of tea.

Ok but to be fair we are very good competition

 

[Seven Sisters]

And what about that fifth place for Loicia & Theo, Chris, did you happen to notice that as well?

Amusing that he’s already start his wait-til-next-year campaign for his countrymen

 

[Andrina]

I am amazed how Charlène speaks English with both Italian and French accents at the same time.

 

[Seven Sisters]

Now the quesiton of all questions:

Given that EC 2025 is in Zagreb and there is no top ice dance team from Croatia, who'll get the bronze ?

Perhaps the Croatians will import one from you-know-where?

Not to be cynical

But honestly, I think Finland #1 is the likely candidate—with the Taschlers having an outside shot
