Madison/Evan. Good costumes and a good program. Great skate.

I can see they have worked on filling out the movement to fill out the arena more and cover more ice.

 

[Arigato]

Can we keep Gabby and nix Ashley?

[yelyoh]

Well that was...weird. But very well executed.

I was entranced by that in a way that I haven't been before. Stunning. Every second of it.

Nice skate by chock and bates.
Good skates all. For me none electrifying as last night.

The dance are great but did'nt excite me. Outcome as expected. Sorry

Dude. Johnny. Did he just say flamenco is "a relatively staccato dance"? Has he ever even seen flamenco? Sigh.

I swear he bluffs sometimes when he doesn't know something

Good skate. Their programs always improve through the season. To win against the French, they need to improve their twizzle speed. Their lifts are significantly better than the French. Probably better performers and more complex choreo but, SS are obviously weaker. I think they can still win but they need higher GOE on the twizzles.

Madi is usually so stoic and rehearsed; it’s refreshing to see she can actually experience emotion like a real human.

Evan Bates going to his FIFTH Olympics! Incredible!

I think the C/B FD will be a difficult match to the French's "whale" theme FD. Maybe it's just my preference but I have more interest in watching and rewatching the French.

One thing I know is that Madi & Evan don't always show us everything at first. They save some things and release it out in bits and pieces. Their disadvantage was their height. They had to convince Igor to teach them. He thought they would never match their lines and edges. I think they found ways to match their height difference work for them and create a new vocabulary for teams of variable height - that is something , but not nothing.

How long has Evan been skating...this is the Evan I watched grow up

Now on to the men. I need to snort some sugar to stay w this.
