2014 Skate Canada Autumn Classic

Not a good score for a world top 10 team. I can see them moving backwards this year. When you consider that the USA teams both received over 100 in their free dance 89.1 comes way short!
 
Hmmm.....?

I had high hopes for Gilles/Poirier but that fd was a bit...meh?

Anything is probably going to be a letdown after the Hitchcock program.....I think the logic with this FD was a focus on showing more classic dancing, perhaps?

That is true. That lift where she balances on her knee on his skate...I don't know, just a bit shaky and awkward. Hoping that this is a case of early-seasonitis and the dance will get better with time.
 
There were a couple lifts that just did not look nice - maybe they had the levels but they just didn't look nice!
 
Papadakis & Cizeron

I can't help but love this program. Sublime. Two little moments outside elements he was a tiny bit off balance though I think. But the choreo is so intricate yet including many changes of character and isn't boring anywhere. Well done Marie-France, you already did a Chopin's masterpiece, now maybe, Mozart will get his :)

FD 90.46
Total 152.2 into first
 
Such a nice change of style for Gabriela and Guillame. It fits them as well as the others.
Loved the end.

Did they get 90.4something or 94.6something?

EDIT: Ok, 90.46, was getting a little ot excited :laugh:
 
Not really thrilled this year with G/P FD it just falls flat for me. Nice lifts though. Also, Paul's jacket makes him look like he belongs on the "Love Boat.":laugh:

Is this the year of the jazzy and Frank Sinatra FD?! :sarcasm:
 
Wow too many mistakes from Paul/Islam. They are going to drop! Too bad the start of their program was looking nice.
 
They're nice, but they bore me.
Such a let down from the top Canadian teams this season. Was expecting much more from W/P and G/P.
Still waiting too watch Hubbell/Donohue, Hawayek/Baker is the only North American team I enjoyed.
 
Ooooooh LOVE Paul/Islam's program! They seemed so polished. Shame about the spin :(
 
Paul & Islam, CAN

Maybe a little synch problem at the begining of the twizzles. They miss the spin's entry and he slips right before/at the start of the straightline. The program is well put together again but I have to say, even if their skating is good, it's in the same vein as their previous programs. Nothing unexpected.

FD 75.4
Total 130.7 into 4th
 
wow Paul/Islam really got hammered! Even with the mistakes I thought they'd be in the 80s
 
Some interesting choreographic moves as usual and I love her dress, but I need to watch it again. Wasn't expecting that voice over.
 
Hurtado & Diaz, ESP

This is already a great great program ! Wonderful first 3/4, not sure about the end though. I'm sure by Euros, everything will be set for them to produce another FD masterpiece. Nice twizzles variation. Undecided about the voice, it had to the story but it's quite distracting IMO.

FD 75.42
Total 139.36 into fifth

1st Gabriella & Guillaume
2nd Gilles & Poirier
3rd Danish team !!!
4th Paul & Islam
5th Hurtado & Diaz
