2025 Cup of China Free Dance

Evgeniia's dress

It's one of the most beautiful I have seen in any discipline... for some time.

 

[Sabsi]

What a beauty of a Curve Lift, Evgeniia and Geoffrey … and what an incredibly unique program.

 

[auser]

Admire the trust between Evgeniia LOPAREVA / Geoffrey BRISSAUD in the curve lifts. Lovely to watch.

 

[cocteautwin]

As a Bjork fan I don't feel this program at all. Her music is full of textures and raw emotions and that's exactly what is lacking in their routine for me.

 

[Karoltyna]

It's one of the most beautiful I have seen in any discipline... for some time.

But the dance is kind of unengaging, unfortunately.

 

[IceDancingQueen]

I never quite connect to L/B’s FDs but I appreciate that they stay true to themselves. They skated well.

I love the quirkiness of the two French teams.

Lopareva/Brisssaud chose soaring Bjork and not quirky Bjork, which is smart. Artful gravitas, and not badly edited

Now we know why Zhenya wasn't wearing blue yesterday. She is wearing it today. At the start, I wasn't sure those shades suited her. But it is growing on me.

Geoff is wearing black trousers and a purple top with a white pattern on the lower sleeves.

Everything about that was beautiful. Although, the vocals did get overbearing towards the end.

Zhenya did not look happy just after they finished, and when they were coming off the ice.

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

Ach, waiting for the scores to come up for the previous partnership to come up meant that left it too late to get this posted in time!

Time for my kids.

ALL THE BEST EMILEA AND VADYM!!

ohhhh, I need non-IAM teams to do good so badly

 

[Sabsi]

Emelia‘s dress is so and I like their dark interpretation of Romeo and Juliet.

 

[theblade]

Emi and Vadym skated very well but the choreo didn't give me enough of Romeo and Juliet's romantic connection before the inevitable at the end

 

[cocteautwin]

Vadym's hair

This is what I think, too. I don't like the choreo very much. But, it was pretty well skated.

 

[Karoltyna]

Vadym, your hair...

 

[auser]

I liked this interpretation of Romeo and Juliet for Emilea ZINGAS / Vadym KOLESNIK. Looking forward to watching it progress over the season. Good that Emilea's one foot sq level was raised to 2 from one according to Chris.

 

[DemTuppesSeine]

Ooooh good score! Congrats!

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

First section good.

First set of Twizzles looked slow and robotic. Second set were so fast that I was not actually sure whether they were in sync or not!

Rest of programme was great!

Loved the choreography at the end.

I had to wind that back there. What did Chris call Emilea?!

I know Mark doesn't pronounce her name correctly, but at least he isn't that far off. But, I have no idea what Chris was attempting to call her!

On-ice camera going off the ice with them. And as I said during the warm-up, it felt we were intruding on their personal space.

They are absolutely delighted with their scores. I think Emilea is going to need oxygen she is getting so excited!

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

WELL DONE EMILEA AND VADYM!!!

Ok, when the lace is visible, it looks bad and distracts...

Same for me. It was well skated but it was a bit uninspired.
