2013 World Team Trophy Ice Dance

Anyone see SD videos yet?

Mirunna · Apr 11, 2013

Thank you Doris. Igor is getting busy! I really like the work he has done with his teams. (the Shibs should have gone with him...)
Madison and Evan were really great and deserved the lead considering the mistakes W/P did. I just hate Madison's dress, she is stunning but she gets buried in that dress. Also good score for M/K. Zhulin is working hard with them for that third spot. R/T did well in going to Igor, they need to upgrade the levels to hold on that third place. I/K might get lost in the mix with all the Russian couples upgrading fast.

^Thanks Mao88 I will watch when I get home from work.

Can't wait to see C/B and M/K. Good score for the Reeds, usually they are in last. Looking forward to seeing the improvements they
have made. To bad about W/P. The loss of training due to Kaitlyn's injury seems to be affecting them some, but it is a good score
overall for them.

Chris Reed actually did a pretty good set of twizzles (I'm not sure whether I've ever seen him really do that)

In fact, though they are 3 points behind M&K, third place is not impossible if they skate their Beatles FD as well.

Dance event was boring. Six top couples are not competing here, so it's kind of understandable that the event is much less exciting. Canadians skated wider, but they were rather dull and not impressive. C/B were slightly more colourful but not that super. RusFed should have sent S/B instead of M/K. The young Russians would be still 3rd I guess but at least they would have brought some spice with their big curves on the ice performed by tall, long-legged dancers.

S&B probably didn't want to learn the Yankee Polka just for one event...RusFed probably had no choice to send them.

You do know that the Juniors SD was not the Yankee Polka right?

gmyers · Apr 11, 2013

I know they only competed at Russian nationals and don't know what they are doing now but Gorshkova/ BUitikov would've been nice to see!!

CanadianSkaterGuy · Apr 11, 2013

Great skate by C/B! Definitely deserving of the lead.

Augh, W/P just can't seem to get a break eh... with the stumble on the twizzles and extended lift. Hope they have a strong FD, because they really can't afford to lose to C/B.

chuckm · Apr 11, 2013

C/B have a 4.12 lead, and theirs and W/P's FS scores were close at Worlds: 98.66 W/P and 97.19 C/B. Should be a cliffhanger tonight.

Not really; if it was that close with C and B with such a huge lead C and B will have yet another victory to celebrate. They really came on strong; could they win oly bronze???? Look at their tech elements - they can skate with like the big boys and girls and I am not talking W and P either think big, think Oly glory.

LRK · Apr 12, 2013

So a question.... I never watch ice dancing - and am watching now - so what is the likelihood of everyone just ending up in the positions they are in already? So far that seems to be the way it's going. Is that the way it usually is, or... ?

CaroLiza_fan · Apr 12, 2013

I think we've just seen the future!

Akiko's not going to retire after Sochi after all. She's going to find herself a bloke and go Ice Dancing!!!

And Mao is going to follow suit when she eventually to retire from singles skating (hopefully not straight after Sochi...)

Or, maybe that is just wishful thinking from somebody who is a big fan of both of them...

EDIT: If you are wondering what I'm on about, watch the highlights and results of Cathy and Chris' Free Dance.

Wait.. it seems like W/P made a mistake

vera01 · Apr 12, 2013

And happy birthday, Kaitlyn!!

sky_fly20 · Apr 12, 2013

another shocker Monko/Khaliavin finishing 3rd who are nobodies and haven't accomplished much compared to say Sinitsina/Zhiganshin whom they also beat.

Chock/Bates should win this easily, Weaver/Poje are boring.

Personally, I wasn't sure if Kaitlyn being on the ground was a mistake or just part of the choreography...

Loved the audience's rendition of "Happy Birthday" for Kaitlyn!!!

Aww, and her team-mates gave her a cake!!!

arty:

Happy Birthday Kaitlyn!!! :hb:

From Gordon (CaroLiza_fan)

RemyRose · Apr 12, 2013

I fully expected M/K to finish 3rd, where else would they have finished? And nobodies? What exactly have S/Z accomplished that M/K haven't? A medal at RC and that's it. If I was a skater I would hate to have sky_fly20 as a fan.
