2025 Skate to Milano Rhythm Dance

[4everchan]

ouch... this will be costly... for my pred games

 

[FlossieH]

Not sure that will be enough for the Italians.

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Just say no to ice dance programs with "daddy" in the chorus, with very few exceptions (haven't seen a good one yet, but I'm sure one could theoretically exist...)

 

[FlossieH]

I may start the tuba just now

I realised after I replied why you'd asked. Hadn't looked at the start order to see that Paolino/Tuba were coming up!

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Judges also not accepting this daddy pop clearly

Giulia is trying to give my Sofía a run in the looking stunning stakes. It's a beautiful dress, but the V is way too low. (Close up, it's actually illusion mesh).

Andrea wearing all black. And a necklace?! No, jewellery shouldn't be allowed to be worn. Too dangerous.

Not fussed on the music.

But the skating was good. Well, it was when we could see it properly. Too many aerial shots.

They go into 5th position.

why is there so much Ricky Martin. Like can I get a mambo #5 if we needed to go down this type of road.

 

[FlossieH]

Nice twizzles from Val and Kazimov

 

[Jammers]

Their teams didn’t pass the screening to be eligible.

So no Russian Pairs or Ice Dance team in Milan?

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Sofia Val has charisma to burn! ...and Kazimov was also there. Poor guy, he doesn't even get a costume...

I... think I may have overrated this team in my predictions.

Fun shot of the fans in the stands cheering the skaters.

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Imagining Val partnered with Lorraine McNamara. The performance would be off the charts!

Mambo #5 always brings me back to Viktor Petrenko's exhibition number.

No. The Russian fed put forward Mishina/Galliamov and Stepanova/Bukin, but they weren't given neutral status,

It looks dangerous to me as well, but many skaters across all disciplines wear jewelry, so I don't know. Personally, I don't wear jewelry in everyday life.

Your Spanish kids did well.

 

[dorispulaski]

Afair The Russians nominated Stepanova & Bukin in dance, and they did not meet the criteria for AIN according to whatever group assessed that. The same was true for the team they proposed for pairs.

 

[Ziotic]

So no Russian Pairs or Ice Dance team in Milan?

Only in they are representing a different country.

 

[triplelutzzzzz]

I like the energy if Sal/Kazimov (more Sal than Kazimov.... give that poor guy some glitter yall), however, I don't like the music choice. Ricky Martin is a great nineties icon but I also have heard soooo much Ricky Martin today lol.

One edge some US teams have with Judy is that the call her in to critique before a key competition. They know what they need to fix, and some actually will fix a problem.

They got a level 2 on the Pattern Step. It makes a difference because there are a lot of points available in the PS. Other teams level 1 or even basic. Plus W&L were on the beat-most have not been.


My internet bit the dust so I am watching on my phone and will only be commenting during ice remakes until it is fixed.

Always love your insight @dorispulaski. Hope your internet is fixed soon.
