2014 Worlds - Free Dance

[kresslia]

So are Kaitlyn and Andrew dating or just roommates?

Regardless, you know they've done the nasty.

 

[hyperinflation]

and did you notice Massimo Scali sitting with them? He is gorgeous in the way you like- dark hair, brows, tall- and I like him in glasses!

that was maurizio margaglio

 

[BlackPack]

LOL... Kaitlyn and Andrew.

Scali isn't tall. Or Maurizio, he thrives when Babs isn't death-staring at him.

 

[hyperinflation]

is that his real hairline because oof

 

[TMC]

Awwwwww this crowd

 

[Dots]

Wow we just had a scary babs moment with the Germans. lol

 

[BlackPack]

is that his real hairline because oof

After that horrid program, I don't even want to know more about them

 

[Mrs. P]

Agree 100% They've been one of my favorites for a long time.

I'm a Shibs uber. They are really great people. They'll be amazing at whatever they end up doing.

FWIW, this also ends a horrible streak of terrible Worlds FD performances post-2011:

2012: Twizzle meltdown: 82.37
2013: Levels 2 step sequences duo: 91.27

Did they have a mistake on one lift? Kinda looked like it..

 

[auser]

Yes, I was like No Ingo? Hmpf.

I was just looking up Urmanov, who has aged well. Never did anything for me in his Olympic days. Must be those white gloves. I would be waiting for him to check for dust.
Platov too is aging well. And considering he had to put with Pasha, that's something akin to a miracle.
John Zimmerman is like something out of a Botticelli painting. Not just handsome--beautiful.

Oops, now I can't remember the rest of the list--I got involved watching the Shibs. !

Oh boy, WA, do we have similar taste... I was going to reply to WWG about Ingo and JZ, but his name was slipping my tongue. I think Jason Dungjen is handsome as well, but of course he's married to lovely Yuka Sato.

Coombes/Buckland= my facebook break.

 

[kresslia]

Paul/Islam in the top 10? Yayyyy!!

Agreed! I absolutely love the Shibs. I'm overjoyed for them. I hope this urges them to continue forward!
I would miss their lovely personalities and Maia's trademark ponytail.

Yep. Plus the twizzles were horrid. I'm one of the few I guess who like those programs they did, but this one was a terrible mess.

 

[WeakAnkles]

They need to take a page out of Weaver/Poje's playbook on this. After missing the Olympics last time by a mere 0.3 points, they doubled down and got to work. They switched to a training environment where they had a lot of skaters same or better than them to keep them moving forward. They got a new perspective training with new coaches (I know Poirier has always been in Scarborough, but sometimes a change is a good thing just to keep developing. Shaking things up is actually good sometimes.). They spent A LOT of time working on their basics together. It's tedious, and probably felt like a big step backward, but they had the maturity to see what this could do for them, and they stuck with it. G/P have a lot going for them, but they need to gel as a team, which means she needs to catch up to him, in order to land on a worlds or Olympic podium. There are no short-cuts.

She has terrible extension and she doesn't finish moves. That's their biggest problem I think. She should talk to Jason Brown and find out what he did to get that fabulous flexibility--he wasn't born with it.
