I’ll always be grateful to Fear & Gibson for placing high enough to earn the second GB spot that has given Bekker & Hernandez a leg up as they move into seniors

Have Fear and Gibson retired?

 

[maofan]

This will be close...

I like Phebe and James, but I don't like it when dance / pairs costumes look like this

 

[lileychristie]

UtaMasa Q!!!

 

[norwegianfairytale]

My skating crushes are coming thick and fast. Except this time she is on the ice!

Phebe BEKKER / James HERNANDEZ (GBR) doing a George Michael medley.

I have given up trying to describe Phebe's dress! It's impossible to do! James is wearing a black top, black leather waistcoat, and black trousers.

They were brilliant!!! As always!

They go into 2nd position.

Phebe isn't happy with the score. But she then joins the others in smiling.

Came from lunch break to see UtaMasa Q I'm so happy for them, I shed a tear

"Q" for the Japanese team, hoping Phebe and James will go through also.

By the end of next season, I think the Golden Waltz will be very good for developing the dance skills for many of these teams. At the beginning, I think we are going to have a big reset in the rankings as the abilities are reassessed more on their skating and less on their interpretation of vague musical themes. It could be a rough ride for these teams. I hope the fans will be kind to those who struggle a bit.

Have Fear and Gibson retired?

No, so my gratitude to them will be ongoing

 

[labgoat]

Utamasa qualify

wonderful skating skills count

 

[yelyoh]

A new French team coming up. I doubt they'll make the FD because we know how reputation counts w the judges.

I do not have one on my feed that I can read - my CBC feed is permanently blurry.

ISU YouTube stream is working with my VPN today. Using South American server.

Have Fear and Gibson retired?

No - at least if they have, they haven't announced it.

I think they'll continue for another quad, but have no idea if this is their plan.

I worry a bit about Yuka and Juho now, have they scored above 70 this season? :/

I am having trouble with my vpn today and the ISU feed. It feels like a block, happened after I updated the rewatches. I am in YT timeout somehow???

I hope so—but it will depend on how those dances are assessed and judged. If we are going to continue basing our decisions and rankings on “vibe,” the presence of a pattern might not help as much as we would hope

Yes but not as high as the Japanese score.

I hope it will not be by vibe, but by overall skating. I also hope it won't go the other extreme of obsession with extreme cleanliness. I already lived that era decades back and it was demoralizing for the fans and skaters.

I think if they learn proper partnering, musicality, proper technique on edges and turns without nitpickiness, then I will be satisfied.

I'm hoping Holly and Jason get the Q.
