2024 Cup of China Free Dance

Aww, poor Olivia with the scratch on her back due to the fall in the warmup. She is an absolute star and they really are gelling so well as a team this season. The improvement is very noticeable and this FD is a wonderful vehicle for them.

I am probably the only one on this site who doesn't really like this Dune FD.

Yoohoo! Can I join you there?

Happy to see happy skaters in the KnC

Now to my favorite tango!!!

 

[museksk8r]

Wow! 120.56 in the FD. F/G just got a 121 FD last week to win. Way to go, S/D!

Also how did Olivia get her hood to stay on?

The joy of bobby pins going straight into the skull...?

They are happy!

Always.

It is heartbreaking when you see skaters crying. And unfortunately, I saw that happen quite a few times at the Tallinn Trophy a couple of weeks ago.

I love this tango

Matthias is not looking as crisp in this dance as Juulia and he has received lower levels than her on several elements. Oh no, she has a trip toward the end of the FD. Still, this FD is a marvel, but this was not presented as flawless as it was last week.

I see T/V going behind Smart/Dieck. A shame as I love this team.

Really liked the choreo lift, dance spin, how closely the FINs skate together and Juulia's lovely extension!

I'm still weirded out by a Carmen not wearing red. Like isn't there a law about that?

 

[museksk8r]

That one foot step sequence was ever so slightly behind those musical accents and didn’t have the marvelous effect it could have for C/P. He only receives a level 1 for it.

Especially if they replace it with that rather meh colour better suited to 1940s curtains. Maybe they wanted to be different.

 

[museksk8r]

It appears they are a little slow and sluggish in this step as well and not matching the intensity of the music. That’s a big reason why this music is so challenging to skate to. It is really hard to meet its passion and drama effectively.

 

[anonymoose_au]

Wow the lipstick! Now that's commitment!

 

[TallyT]

"Lipstick everywhere!"

 

[lileychristie]

I love CarePon's Carmen - but I don't get the costumes, is there supposed to be some specific characterisation about it...?

And lol the lipstick everywhere

 

[auser]

Lovely dance spin form C/P, but I am hoping for a bit more fire in the dance going forward.

 

[museksk8r]

Wow, Christina’s face in that closeup; there is literally lipstick all over her face. LOL

 

[Karoltyna]

The lipstick
