2014 Worlds - Short Dance

[Dots]

The gold is between P/B and W/P.

 

[Mirunna]

I'd like to see P/B wipe the floor with I/K. And heck, even C/L slip in for 2nd ahead of I/K too. Haha, I like all these teams but am still bummed for P/B from the "skating while Russian" epidemic in Sochi.

:agree: P/B for the win all the way!

 

[WeakAnkles]

Wow--only 20 (!) teams are going to clear through. Gonna be a lot of broken hearts today. Pairs and Dance always get the shaft. Tis a pity.

 

[Ryan O]

So excited for this! Hoping for clean performances all around. Go S/S, C/L, W/P, P/B, A/E, G/P!!!!!

Yes, from a Canadian perspective it's interesting to see 2 of our teams in the Last Group.

W&P get to skate last, so they will begin Worlds as the final team the judges see in the SD. They have the chance to make an impact here.

And hopefully G&P will use the opportunity of skating in the Last Group by having a strong SD like they did at 4CC's. (And G&P are getting to skate 3 groups later than P&I, so it will be curious to see whether this gives them an edge).

I don't believe W/P have a shot at gold, won't be surprise if they are even off the podium

 

[hyperinflation]

dream podium:

1. p/b
2. w/p
3. c/l

BUTT CURTAINS is BACK!!!!!!!!

The Germans are skating well to Liza Minnelli. Good job from Kolbe and Caruso. Barbara Fusar Poli and Martin Skotnicky look pleased.

 

[WeakAnkles]

Yes, much better than at Euros, where Caruso was dubbed Butt Curtains (just for those who weren't on that thread).

Go Testa and Csolly--I would love to see your Addams Family FD again.

viva la butt curtains!

Annnnnnnd we can't tag threads anymore.

 

[aussie_SKATES]

We like Testa and Csolley from SVK. Peppy is a word that would describe their dance to Chicago.

Plutowska and Gerber are skating to Victor / Victoria. Coach is Igor Shpillband.

I have decided that Shpillband has ZERO imagination when it comes to music. I did like P/G--they have a certain old-fashioned charm.

Reed and Rogov of ISR pick up speed during the Quickstep component of their short dance. Nice rotating lift to finish and we are done.

Good applause from the audience.

 

[blue_idealist]

I love the short dance.. even the lower-ranked teams skate entertaining routines.

 

[ManyCairns]

What is the citizenship background of the Reed family that they can have skaters representing Japan and Israel? Just curious.

OOPS -- I guess I should say Georgia, too, since Allison represented that country, as well, I believe.

 

[aussie_SKATES]

The next group of skaters are standing by to take the ice.
