Wow I love this tango from T/V!! Soooo intense, and Juulia looks like a million bucks

Interesting that they seem to miss some levels here and there and yet their provisional TES was higher than the Taschlers. The GOEs must be really high!

Oh loved that from T/V. The tango suits their lines so well and great to see them doing something different. I really hope they manage to avoid mistakes and move up the rankings this year.

So many good elements in here.. I'd like a bit more sharpness and maybe speed but i loved their combo lifts with tango positions... so cool

Mark has said that the composition of T/T’s programs are not as difficult as teams above them and, by comparison, they are lacking in transitions and do more two foot skating.

T/T have amazing speed gained by simpler steps and transitions. When you add more complicated steps and transitions it does slow the program down a bit. You can see the quickness and complexity of the steps in the tango performed by the Finns. The Czech haven't yet fully developed this skill and that is what they are lacking. Judges want the whole palate, speed, quick feet, complicated steps and musicality. That is why panel after panel makes the decisions they do.

C'mon Lilah and Lewis!

 

[Ichatdelune]

Y'all YE IS GOING TO GET HIS KOREAN PASSPORT WITHIN 2-3 WEEKS BLESS

 

[labgoat]

The Finns need a bit more speed and flow to their edges, which is why they finish where they do.

Juulia in Beatrice's crown is absolutely radiant, marry me

I was thinking the same thing. Beatrice your crowns are amazing

Don't know if any of you read this but the GoldenSkate X account posted that Ye Quan will get his Korean passport soon!!

Wow, I like Turkkila/Versluis’s free dance better than Fear/Gibson’s free dance.

I love watching Lilah and Lewis skate!

Wow, I like Turkkila/Versluis’s free dance better than Fear/Gibson’s free dance.

you're not alone on this board

 

[readernick]

The last part of that works well. The first part does not. The first part requires skills they just don't have. I guess their coaching team is trying to push them? However, I can't say I've noticed much progress in that section yet.

 

[LadyB]

Love them - but they used to have more umph. They'll always wear a halo for me!

 

[4everchan]

Not a fan...but it's okay.. they have many fans.

it's because they're stubbornly refusing to skate to Cher
