Thx to Doris for all the commentary and information.



Happy to say that ARCHIVING of each program as a separate video is here:

LRK: yes, Ladies SP begins at 16:00 ET.

Thanks - that means that I was right in my calculations (how often does that happen?!) that there is a 6 hour difference - my time's CET. Good to know.

Tatiana KOZMAVA / Aleksandr ZOLOTAREV GEO

Another Malaguena

If that step get more than level 1 I would be surprised
She has trouble keeping her free foot from touching down when it shouldn't
twizzle not bad

11 Cortney MANSOUR / Michal CESKA CZE
D Flamenco: Babylon Flamenco, Paso Doble: La Gracia de Dios; choreo by Carol Lane, Juris Razgulajevs

not good. she esp. is not good.

nice one arm lift though

score 43.42 into 6th

 

[casken]

not good

Pretty much.

 

[casken]

Ian Lorello was kind of channeling Luca Lanotte at times there.

Good save by her on the twizzles. I thought she was going to abort the third one.

 

[dorispulaski]

Olson/Lorello

The one am lift with up and down motion was good.

The entance to the rather messy twizzles was interesting.

The rest not so much. no synch going on.

score 47.48 in 6th

 

[Sackie]

For being rather sloppy that is close to O/W's score.

robledo and fenero EDP

Suspiros de Espana

The lift was quite unexpected and cool. Starts with him in a lunge and ends with her upside down and him in an arabesque.

another team late on the music

score 36.74 in 12th place

 

[Mrs. P]

Doris, I think it's not the teams are off on the music, but that it's off from the video. :/

Piper's cape thing is really distracting! I'm not sure if it actually does anything for the character of the dance.

 

[casken]

I prefer P&C's interpretation, but I think G&P have the most difficult choreography of any SD I've seen this season. Wow.

A bit of a stumble from her on the sbs and from him at the end of the lift.

Wow, 4th! Mistakes must have really cost them.

gilles and poirier

Chris Dean giving his 84 paso music to Piper and Paul

And also a couple moves from that program

Her dress is great, but was it responsible for lift dismount issue?

at least one pirouette in the twizzles
wonder whether it will be called?

score 53.43 into 4th

 

[Sackie]

Wow - now that's a shocker! Looks like the FRA team is being pushed up into the top 5 or 6 in the world.

It was Paul's stumble, didn;t look like it anything to do with the dress.

Yes please! :agree: And they are only 19 :yay:

They were easily the best today...and I think the best choreographed short dance so far for the season...

 

[brushalley]

Yes please! :agree: And they are only 19 :yay:

Yes plenty of time to be around for the next two olympics! Love them.

 

[casken]

The French don't need pushing. They could earn top 5/6 on their own.

 

[dorispulaski]

None of the 3 Canadian teams skated their best here.

 

[colleen o'neill]

Hi,doris! I have been lurking...hoping to snap out of it

I thought P/C deserved the win here.. I'm sorry P/I had something off on the lift .. I wonder about the music for them and for O/L.. They both used rhumba for the paso.. I tend to feel that the count may work but it's hard to get that paso character. ( we'll see how they go ahead)

I think the idea behind Piper's dress is cool , but when it's draped over her shoulders so much of the time , it kind of defeats the purpose.
