Are Layla & Alexander still junior-eligible next season?

Shirley Bassey is back for an encore of "Diamonds Are Forever"!

Oh, hang on, it's gone even weirder than the last time. And then a weird cover of Gnarls Barkley's "Crazy". And finally the version of "Lady Marmalade" from "Moulin Rouge".

Iryna PIDGAINA / Artem KOVAL (UKR) were really getting into it, though.

Iryna is wearing a red dress. Artem is wearing a red jacket, gold waistcoat, black shirt, and black trousers.

Artem doing a snow angel on the ice after they finished. And Iryna looking at him with a face that said "what are you doing?" (Not the same, but it reminded me of Barbara and Maurizio!)

They go into the lead of both the FD and overall.

Artem fist pumps. Iryna screams and then bursts into tears.

I think they might be happy...

PS. crowns for Iryna and Artem will be attempted to be made until VC (I ran out of time, crowns fir Jasmine and Chase were completely done from zero during first 2 groups, with crying interruption brought btmy skaters visiting my panic station with parents)

Love the energetic expressiveness of Ambre PERRIER GIANESINI / Samuel BLANC KLAPERMAN in this dance.

I think he is turning 21 in June so no

Ambre PERRIER GIANESINI / Samuel BLANC KLAPERMAN (FRA) doing a Tarzan programme.

Anbre wearing a white blouse, dark brown belt, and light brown skirt. Samuel wearing a light brown top and dark brown trousers.

That was good.

Couldn't be bothered finding a different picture, so I am using the same one I used the first time I saw this programme.

And I'll even recycle my joke:

Me Samuel. You Ambre. We leaders.

Does that mean that Olivier Schoenfelder is Cheetah? ​

They go into 2nd position in the FD, and the lead overall.

I still think Hana & Daniil's FD is a bit one note despite the dramatic music.... but I like her new dress, much better than the previous one

 

[4everchan]

not my favourite program but they are the better skaters. good for them

 

[auser]

Vibrant speed and performance from Hana Maria ABOIAN / Daniil VESELUKHIN with lovely extension from Hana. Congrats!

 

[4everchan]

going to bed . I cannot watch the women and it's all fine with me. hopefully the favourites do a bit better than in the short.

take care you all

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

Hana Maria ABOIAN / Daniil VESELUKHIN (USA) skating to really dramatic music.

Hana is wearing a white dress with gold trim, and a green laurel wreath in her hair. Daniil is wearing a bown top and black trousers.

The music was big, but they didn't let it get on top of them. They were good!

When they showed Ambre and Samuel in the green room, you could see they knew they had been beaten.

Hana and Daniil win the FD and the title.

What a reaction! Skaters and coaches all jumping up and down! To the extent that I'm surprised the set survived!

Apparently, VC is now right after FD, so I won't be able to make even one, ugh, I'm angry at myself

That is so unfortunate. But, it can't be helped.

I was going to ask if you will still be in Tallinn tomorrow for the Gala, but then I remembered that there isn't one.

I'm sure if you send them a message explaining and tell them that you owe them crowns, then it will mean a lot to them.

You do so much for the skaters. I'm sure they will understand.

Please do not be too hard on yourself. You produced so many beautiful crowns. I saw skaters in the audience wearing them while cheering on their fellow team members.

Just getting around to watching. I am not sure how the French team got positive goe’s in that first lift. Seemed a little clunky. Liked the music, though.
Canadian’s were lovely.
American’s skated well, but the music has zero ‘shading’, similar to the Senior French team. Lifts were well done.

Shanjie and Shirui jiayooooooooooh

Shanjie has Louboutin red soles to her skating boots

 

[labgoat]

Oh no, Ghost the musical, I think it managed to top Adagio on my blacklist

It is a tribute program to their coach Alexandra Paul who died in a traffic accident and who is survived by her husband and their coach Mitchell Islam. A lovely heartfelt offering.

So happy that Yuxuan and Han Wan from HK made it to the free, I was completely smitten with them in their RD, I might have to adopt them

OMG their FD costume is soooo cute!!

Me too!! Smitten is the perfect word. I really hope we get see more of them as juniors and eventually seniors

 

[IceDancingQueen]

it's like everyone but Canada will get 3 spots.. thanks to Skate Canada not sending our best possible contenders here for god knows why

Totally agree - I don’t understand why they didn’t select Charlie and Cayden for worlds. Very bizarre.

Oh that’s a shame. I was hoping they would compete for the podium next year
