2025 Four Continents Rhythm Dance

Do we not skate in order of World standing here? Seems strange to have the two Canadian teams skate after the World champions. But, whatever—everybody skate your best, have at it!
 
unpopular opinion and confusing myself with it : i preferred the Aussies to the Koreans...

never thought I would say this ever.

This is my first time watching ice dance this season, so I have a very uninformed opinion, but I thought the Aussies' choreo and program were fabulous. Both partners were equally matched and so sharp. Hannah's facial expressions were excessive and distracting, and she really overshadows her partner.
 
"Tonight Matthew, I'm going to be... Emilea and Vadym!"

First out from behind the curtain are my kids, waving to the audience all the way.

When the WArm-Up starts, Emilea is out on her own.

Ah, the camera has found Vadym now. He takes off his jacket and hands it to their coach.

Back to Emilea, and Vadym joins her. They go around the ice holding hands until their introduction is finished, and then start practicing.

Later on, we see them just casually wandering around when Marjorie LAJOIE / Zachary LAGHA (CAN) are being focussed on.

After everybody has been introduced, we switch to a camera beside their coach, Igor Shpilband, to see... Vadym cleaning his nose. :rolleye: Great timing, Director!

We briefly see them again wandering jsut before the time is up.

But now it is time for them to do their programme.

:cheer: ALL THE BEST EMILEA AND VADYM!!! :cheer:

Chris : they didn't miss a beat...

Me : they certainly do : base level on pattern.... and her second set of twizzles was the leaning tower of pisa
 
I never did like the Intro to "Jive Talking", but I do like their choreography to it.

I was starting to wonder if the TES box was ever going to appear!

Hate this remix of "Staying Alive". The original is great, so I wish they would use it!

Still think Emilea spins a lot faster than Vadym.

Such a shame that that bit of choreography near the end is being done right by the Judges, because it would look great in the middle of the ice.

But, on the whole, I love this programme.

Sorry that I am not writing much about what they were doing, but I'm still on the laptop and it is hard to type and watch at the same time with where it is positioned. I was much easier to do both with where the desktop is.

They look worried waiting for the scores.

But no need to. They go into the lead.

I agree with Chris. The do look like they were looking more.

:cheer: WELL DONE EMILEA AND VADYM!!! :cheer:

Actual dance movements with these two are a bit dull and throwaround, like slightly embarrassed kids at a small town dance. I don't think they like their music much.
 
Thank goodness it is only the top half of Christina's dress that is that pattern. Because it is sending my eyes screwy as it is. 😵‍💫 Imagine what it would be like if the whole dress was that pattern! :drama:

They go into the lead.

Urgh, I forgot that Chock and Bates have this awful programme. If I had remembered, I wouldn't have put them as high in my predictions. And it would have had the bonus of meaning that I'd have had my kids on the podium.

The only consolation is that at least I went with my heart and put Piper and Paul on top. But I am kicking myself that I then went against my heart and put Chock / Bates into second instead of Lajoie /Lagha, who I would much prefer to see there.
