2024 U.S. Nationals Senior Rhythm Dance

Did we ever find out what happened with Tsarevski and Flores? I have a bad taste in my mouth about him, and maybe that's unfair?

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Wow! I really liked that cut and Katarina is absolutely on fire now, amazing how quickly she and Dima have gelled and how much stronger she looks with him than she did with Jeffrey

 

[el henry]

I liked Katarina and Dima, they seemed powerful and also that they heard the music. Picky picky: not sure the underside of her skirt should be neon.

 

[sworddance21]

Honestly, there is something about Bella and Vanya that reminds me of Hawayek and Baker in the genuine-ness of their performing ability. I don't feel like they are FORCING anything. That's how I feel about my favs H/B - the perform without being performative.

I think it is unfair. He’s quietly denied her version of events but seems to not want to dredge things up.

 

[Jumping_Bean]

Like yes, Z/K are good but imo they’re not ready to challenge for the podium here unless something goes horribly wrong in the final group

Z/K almost made it into the top 3 last season, and honestly, I'm expecting them to place in the top 5 again this year too. Like them or not, saying they have a shot at the podium is not unreasonable or unprecedented.

Thank you.

i'm loving Angela's makeup

 

[Weathergal]

I like Katarina and Dima well enough, but I enjoy Isabella and her partner more. Pretty close in the standings!

 

[Jumping_Bean]

Bella must be especially upset right now, without that twizzle error I think F/D would have been ahead of W/T by ever so little, instead of (once again) the other way around.

 

[el henry]

I don't care if the Queen of Soul covered it in the 80s, Hold On I'm Coming is NOT the 80s. And what was that abrupt cut to the next unrelated song?

Unfortunately making it difficult to enjoy this skate.

 

[icewhite]

i liked it

 

[Ravyn Rant]

While I always appreciate some Aretha Franklin, "Hold On, I'm Coming" is NOT an 80's song. Are covers allowed?

I mean they were on the podium last year.

angela really looks like she walked out of the 80s

Have arrived and turned on Peacock, only to find out that we have commentary! Who is this blathering on? (someone who knows little about ice dance, obviously)

I loved Bella & Vanya. They have so much enthusiasm, speed and attack. I think that the point Ash was making as told to her by Ben is that speed can sometimes trip you up. I saw them do those twizzles in practice so many times at speed that this was the one of 10 times that something tripped her up or a rut in the ice.. He and Tanith had that happen to them one year at Worlds and learned that lesson.

 

[BlissfulSynergy]

I can't with Ash and Adam. They add nothing to the coverage. Now they are finally quiet with Ling/ Wein, at least a little.

But notice how they were critical of Flores/ Desyatov's power, saying 'that's when mistakes creep in,' vs the gushing over how W/T 'fly over the ice.' I am not liking these obvious favoritism talking points about two teams who are close in ability and rivals in pushing toward the top.

Ashley Wagner and Adam Rippon

In my humble opinion, they are awful. Yes, that's strong, but this is not good. Ashley makes me long for Tara ....

I'm watching on the USA channel. I believe that's Johnny W.doing some of the commenting and I like his style.

It was good to see Bella and Ivan.
