SkateFiguring,, those V/M photos are a delicious tease , and tasty as it is , I wouldn't bet on that being the final dress.
BTW Scott just always seems to be in a perfectly finished position . And I hope he stays with the perfectly fitted black. Exactly like a ballroom god .
Lynn Rutherford's tweets: "Virtue/Moir FD: dazzling lifts, speedy twizzles, great samba character, sexy gold dress. Adds up to spectacular. What a dance competition!"
So if she goes for triple triples I think she'll save the 3F+3L for the LP and do a 3L+3L in the SP.
Dai is not doing a quad in his SP. All season he tried a quad in his LP, succeeding in only one 4T. He UR and 2-footed all his 4Fs. We'll see how he does on Thursday.
Oda has had better quads than Dai but also somewhat hit or miss. Taka's quad is not that reliable either but he doesn't fall often. Both Nobu and Taka have better chances of hitting their quads beautifully at Worlds than Daisuke, IMO.
Neither Takahashi nor Oda has had a clean competition this season.
What I'm really interested in is her LP. Lots of skaters have skated to Giselle, but not to a medley of Korean folk music. She's supposedly incorporated a few Korean folk dance moves into the choreo. Unfortunately I won't be able to recognize it.
To be honest, choreographically nothing special. But she skated well.
I just read through the last 4 pages and 90% is about YuNa - Mao.
Will there be more reports on other skaters' practices?

Bryan Joubert's April 25th practice:

Looked heavy to me.
LOL at the fan's camera following Joubert's loitering while the reigning world champion is doing his run through!
Why didn't this fan get Joubert's run through?
LOL that while everyone runs through the whole program with only mental jumps, Joubert does his with just jumps, plus the ending footwork, with zero transition and spin.
