2024-25 Spanish Nationals

What a strange choice of music for Nadia Susana BERROCAL D´HULST (MAD) from the Valdemoro club.

It started with "My Sharona" by The Knack. A song I love. But, although it was the original version, it was slowed way down. And it sounded awful!

Then it was followed by "The Twist" by Chubby Checker.

She was wearing a blue dress with white polka dots that was made to look like it was a matching bra and skirt set.

But, she was really going for it.

Lucía SÁNCHEZ PARDOS (CAT) from FC Barcelona was wearing what I can only describe as a dress made out of a pink table cloth!

Can't actually remember what her first song was. But this was followed by "Boogie Wonderland" by Earth, Wind And Fire.

She was also really enjoying herself.

Gaaaah!!! They're playing "Voilà" during the replays! Do they not think we hear it enough?!

And Nadia has stuck around for Lucía's results.

Lucía goes into the lead. But only 0.92 points ahead of Nadia.

The last of the Junior girls, Irina Shaila RÍOS GRANDE (AST) from the C.H. Carrilana club was skating to ABBA!!!

I think she is the first skater we have had this week from the Asturias.

I just checked and, better than that, she is the only skater here from the Asturias full stop.

She goes into 3rd position. But, my goodness, there is practically nothing separating all three of them.

It's going to be an exciting Free Dance tomorrow.

First of the Seniors up now.

Very 50's feel from Patricia BÁZQUEZ MARTÍN (ESP) from the Club de Hielo Rioja.

"Stupid Cupid" by Connie Francis, followed by "Pretty Woman" by Roy Orbinson, then back to Connie for "Lipstick On Your Collar".

She was wearing a deep pink top with a black skirt.

I liked that.

My goodness! She's wearing a fluorescent green jacket for getting her scores!

The second girl, Ángela MARTÍN MORA ÁLVAREZ (ARA) from the Jaca club is actually wearing a dress the same colour as the previous girl's top.

But she was skating to very different music. Blondie's "Heart Of Glass", followed by two songs I didn't know.

Some very strange moves during the final song!

Ángela is the only skater from Aragon competing this week.

And she goes into a big lead.

Resurfacing now. But time for food for me.

I hope to be able to see my kids LIVE. But, I don't know if I will make it.

We start off with the two big name partnerships. First up, Olivia Sophie SMART / Tim DIECK (CAT) from the FC Barcelona.

Olivia's sleeves scare me. It could be a disaster if they got caught in a blade.

I love the songs they are skating to, but we could barely hear them due to the audio on the stream, and the microphones picking up the audience cheering.

Despite the music choices, they still don't do anything for me.

[CaroLiza_fan]

Now for my kids.

ALL THE BEST SOFÍA AND ASAF!!!

[CaroLiza_fan]

Well, the cheers that Sofía VAL / Asaf KAZIMOV (MAD) got when they were introduced were as big as Olivia and Tim got.

Out of sync on towards the end of the Twizzles.

But otherwise, I couldn't spot any issues. They looked great!

Big hug when they finished.

Well, if the audience reaction when they finished is anything to go by, they're going ahead of Olivia and Tim. They loved it!!! We even had an air horn going off!

They go into 2nd position. But 9.40 points behind Olivia and Tim.

That's not right. I wouldn't have imagined that big a difference in scores.

The camera didn't go down to the results area until after the scores came up on screen. But they and Sara were very happy!

WELL DONE SOFÍA AND ASAF!!!

The second partnership from FC Barcelona was Athena Faith ROBERTS / Eric ALÍS BOSQUET (MAD). She was wearing a multi-coloured bra and black trousers. He was wearing a purple shirt and black trousers.

Have to be honest, it wasn't very exciting.

They go into 4rd poistion. About 30 points behind 2nd, and about 40 behind their team-mates.

[CaroLiza_fan]

Philomene SABOURIN / Raul BERMEJO GUTIERREZ (CAT) took us into the resurfacing.

Exact same first song from Sara and Kirill's second team as FC Barcelona's second team had as their first song! But then it went different.

She was wearing a multi-coloured striped jumper and a blue skirt. He was wearing a white shirt and blue trousers. Oh, and he has a porn tache.

They were getting a big reaction from the audience too! The audience are definitely team Sara and Kirill!

They go into 3rd position.

Who you gonna call?

What a way to start the day! The partnership that had a disaster skate in PD1, Claudia GUTIÉRREZ / Bruno PEREIRA (MAD) from the Valdemoro club, kicked things off with a "Ghostbusters" programme!!!

And the costumes were brilliant. Bruno was wearing a set of familiar overalls, and Claudia was wearing a beautiful white dress. Or, to put it another way, he was the Ghostbuster and she was the ghost!

They were great!!!

I absolutely loved that!!!

[CaroLiza_fan]

The second partnership, Alma PASCUAL / Rubén SAN JULIÁN (MAD) from the Valdemoro club, were good too.

I don't know the music, but she was wearing a deep pink jumpsuit with a white belt, while he was wearing a white T-shirt with black trousers.

The livescoring isn't working yet, so I don't know if they held onto the overall lead. There hadn't been much in it going into the Free. Just 0.62 points.

CaroLiza_fan

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

Mmmmm. Sara NÚÑEZ / Éric del RÍO (MAD) from the Valdemoro club, were doing an "Incredibles" programme, and were dressed up in the Incredibles uniforms.

They had a pretty healthy lead of 3.64 points going into the Free. HOWEVER, they had a double fall. So, they might not win this.

Awwww. All three partnerships are sitting together.

When the scores were announced, none of them were sure what it meant for the results.

And neither do I! But, I'll check later.
