2026 Canadian Nationals : Senior Rhythm Dance

[cocteautwin]

Gosh, this program is just so much better than Bock's boring and safe Lenny Kravitz

What a great last flight. Loved all the top 4 but LaLa and P&P brought it as well as Marie Jade and Romain. FS is going to be epic.

Well that was some nationals inflation, lol. I kinda love it.
I really like the end of this program. The beginning still feels a little cautious, to me. I wanted to see a little more freedom from Piper and Paul. That's me being really picky though. I think this was the best this program has looked.

The rhythm dances are just really a blah for me this season.

WOW !

This RD has improved a lot for Piper and Paul. They needed that.

Hopeful on Olympic podium.

I don't like either both costume that Paul use for this program. Piper costume is fabulous. But common they could bring a better costume for Paul for this program.

I'm the opposite. I love Paul's costume, not as sold on Piper's. I get where Piper's comes from and it's very appropriate, just not my favourite. I LOVE her free dance dress, though. Best in the world this season, IMO.

Bye for now - heading back to US for a bit

According to AI : this would be a Canadian Record for the rhythm dance (at domestic events)

Please, I still have no idea why anyone would ever rank G/P behind C/B. If only skating would quit being synonymous with dirty politics.

[yuumagical]

If the announcer can hope, then I can still hope, can't I?!?

let alone F/G

I really appreciated Kaitlin telling everyone on the stream how fast Piper and Paul were skating. Sometimes it's hard to tell on video, and they made it look effortless.

93.11 and into 1st! Go, Piper and Paul!

Good for them.

And those who were looking haughtily down their noses at US Nationals inflation can sit down now.

 

[HeadBanger]

Am I correct that it seemed like they might have either gotten close to the boards or even contacted them briefly? They definitely seem to slow down a little bit... actually on several more occasions they have been incredibly close to the boards. I mean, this definitely demonstrates that they fill the entire ice surface which is great, and set some up well for Olympic size ice

Is the rink in Milan wider?

I just wonder with the IIHF moving to a smaller standard rink size (same width as NHL, and three feet shorter length), it seems like the days are numbered for the old wider international rinks.

Old ones will grandfather in, they’ll slowly get replaced and new ones will be built to the smaller specs

I am still standing There was always national inflation in ice dance in Canada. Always. Like everywhere in the world
Piper and Paul got level 4s everywhere. Take that Shawn Restatt

Except C/B’s RD skate warranted a score of 84 instead of the 91.70 they received. I always feel like Madi and Evan phone in their Nationals performances.

If I don't come back I guess we will know why...

I'm just having a little fun at the expense of the pearl-clutchers over the past few days. For the record, I enjoyed Piper and Paul's skate.

And I agree that every Nationals has a little inflation spice thrown in for the fans. No harm, I suppose, so long as the spice is evenly distributed across all the athletes at the event.
