2025 GP Finlandia Trophy Free Dance

[4everchan]

I saw Piper and Paul few times live, and they are spellbinding, so much better than TV! I never saw Vincent live, maybe I can try Canadian Nationals, I think this skate will be magic!

I saw it live (Vincent). It's amazing. Do it. My favourite ever is Wuthering Heights though.

 

[Princessroja]

Uh, wow. I really want to not like them because, you know, them, but also, that was mesmerizing and some of the best ice dance I have ever seen. First time I've seen them skate and wow.

Laurence/Guillaume. I love their outfits and this program. Sublime. Great skate.

 

[cathlen]

I don't know what to think. I felt this was quite beautiful but a bit dull.

Yeah, like monotone. Very Montreal like, but kinda boring?

Putting on side my personal feelings toward this team, I liked this free dance much more than first time I saw it. Clearly they are the best skaters, their lines are insane. The ice coverage second to none. As for program, I liked Vincent more but this one worked for me as well today. I loved choreo lift at the end.

Wuthering Heights is my favorite of their mature programs. Hitchcock is still my all time favorite though. I wish I could see that with their current skating skills.

And now Piper and Paul are on doing "Vincent".

Do the figure skating gods want to turn me into a puddle on the floor?!

That was just as emotional to watch as every other time I have seen them do this programme.

I didn't know they were going back to "Vincent". But I am so glad they did.

I love Piper's dress of the painting. And Paul's blue shirt is beautiful too.

If they do not win both the FS and overall, I am going to riot!

And the flower crowns match so well.

Well done @NoNameFace. We know how much you love them, and you did them proud.

They go into the lead of the FS and overall.

They weave so much magic on the ice when they skate freely. I really hope they can deliver this on Olympic night. It will be something so special.

There is nothing boring about Montreal however

 

[jgg220]

Another funereal free dance, skated with skill and extreme seriousness.

 

[Ares]

I think they're not gonna clear 130 again but it's gonna be enough for Gold.

ETA:

Yup

 

[cathlen]

There is nothing boring about Montreal however

I'm taking your word on it

 

[IceDancingQueen]

The French were sublime. This is going to be tough to beat in February!

 

[4everchan]

HA ! Extended lift deduction... We hadn't received that call yet.

 

[maofan]

That was silky smooth!

 

[theblade]

The LaLas, I believe, shot them selves in the foot with that RD concept. You want to stand out, yes, and they did that—but you want to stand out in a good way.

JMHO

I appreciate what you are saying. I do think it was a way to stand out and do a sports-themed program for an Olympic year, and turns out Marjo is a real cheerleader selling it. It's a real contrast to White Crow and shows interpretive skills other teams don't have as much of.

It's more of a case that there was only one spot to fight for with so many other teams having their slots for them already quite safe.

 

[GGFan]

HA ! Extended lift deduction... We hadn't received that call yet.

A parting gift for all of us.

 

[FSFan1999]

Can I just say what phenomenal skaters Zingas and Kolesnik are. Vadyms leg lines perfectly extended on almost every push, Emelias movement and artistic expression.
The program could be better structured for a stronger build, but they are certainly going to be one of the strongest teams this coming quad...

Uh, wow. I really want to not like them because, you know, them, but also, that was mesmerizing and some of the best ice dance I have ever seen. First time I've seen them skate and wow.

what you mean by "them"?

 

[museksk8r]

Wow, so in the end it was still Piper’s RD twizzle that made all the difference. G/P could have won here otherwise.

 

[4everchan]

I like this FD for them but it's a bit one-note. I don't like their RD. I hope they get it better.

I am not really disappointed at all for Piper and Paul though that base level probably is the difference in the end.

I am very gutted for LaLa but congrats to ZK.
