Ice Dance's OD - Sunday 21st 7:15pm EST

[Hsuhs]

Russian, dear. Russian.

 

[BigJohn]

They look like sailors. I thought it was Folk and Country.

They are gay sailors, so it's a brokeback mountain theme, so it's a cowboy story. And cowboys, gay or not, like country music. Voilà.

Hsuhs beat me to it.

 

[L'amour]

they had a really ncie footwork!

Bobrova/Soloviev are sailors in identic costumes. Russian folkdance. Youngsters(in their twenties I think), she taking off her hat at the end and showing long blond hair. 50.61. 4th place.

what kind of folk is that?

Where do you think the Sailor's Hornpipe dance comes from if it's not folk

 

[DesertRoad]

If only they didn't suck so much in the speed department, Samuelson and Bates could've skated to Dixie Chicks' Sin Wagon instead, the most raucous and barn-stomping of Dixie Chicks songs. It's way too uptempo for their sluggish skating, though

LOL at the Russians doing the kalinka as a pair of saucy seamen.

 

[Face2Mac]

I love the snarkiness. Got's to love it.

They've broken to resurface the ice and are interviewing Robin Cousins as it's 30 years today since he won his Olympic gold at Lake Placid.

Okay QUESTION: what country does the Russian pair's 'sailor' dance supposed to symbolize, are they a season late and performing last year's original dance?

GRRRRR :angry

Ok they aired the Skicross footage earlier today!!! Why show it again, no Americans even came close to medaling :angry

 

[ImaginaryPogue]

My understanding is that it is a Russian folk dance. Kraatz announced it as such (though the specific type escapes me).

 

[Spun Silver]

Hockey on FromTV & skiing on NBC. Grrrrr!!!!!!!

Their country. As Cadiva said, where do you think Sailor's Hornpipe dance is from? It's folk.

It does not work in the US

The gay sailors were a bit underscored IMO, they were much better than at Euros.. Samuelson Bates are the best so farr. they totally nailed the country theme.

I thought so too, but they're Russians 3rd.

Agreed. And they deserve to, imo.
