2015 Skate America Gala/Exhibition

[Pamigena]

Shallow question:
When his shirt rode up during his camel spin, did he really pull it down mid-spin? Looked as if he did?

yes he did

eta

p.s. I don't think skaters "forget" to tuck in their shirts.

let's pretend that they do

Piper and Paul continues to surprise with their musical and thematic choices! Although, you really, really can't go wrong with Ella. That was lovely!

Guess Denis did WD from the Gala

THIS is the fierceness of Gracie! I love this EX! Much more musical than Shake it Off. She should turn this into a competitive program, honestly. She looks so strong skating to it.

Agreed, she needs to skate to music she emotionally connects too. I hate what Lori Nichol picks for her, like last year's Phantom - Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again LP music, it was not Gracie at all.

Wow, Piper and Paul! I did see pictures of these costumes over the summer, and I did wonder - could they really be doing a more lyrical piece? Turns out, yes, very convincingly, as well

I was hoping for another Plants Vs Zombies, but that was lovely!

 

[Serious Business]

Andrea Bocelli, my nemesis! We meet again!

 

[s_parks]

I love Sui's free leg. That is all.

Amodio and Nicole missing from the EX, based on the original lineup.

Hahhaha... it is a nice change I am a new fan.

I've said it the first time I saw it and I'll say it again: I absolutely adore S/H EX :yes:

Zhenya kept the BeeGees!!!!

H/B debuted this as their new EX back in Feb at a FrenchieSkate after 4CC's before P/C won the world title in March.

Thanks for explaining, I didn't know this. Of course they can skate to whatever they choose to (I definitely agree with s_parks upthread), it's just that personally I can't help but think back to P/C's EX, which mesmerized me every time I watched it. That's why I posted, but I say again, for the record: everyone should skate to whatever music they want (and, well, be prepared for all of us to analyze and dissect their choices)

Zhenya kept the BeeGees!!!!

She shouldn't have kept the shirt. :disapp:

Russian Ladies always have the most unusual Exhibitions, so refreshing to see

I kind of see it as this. Yuna did that All of me exhibition few years ago, then Adelina did something similar, then now Zhenya...coincidence? Hmmm..

 

[Serious Business]

Evgenia is the funkiest leprechaun you'll ever see!

 

[OS]

I wanted Zijun skating to this sound track mann.... but Evgenia did a great job. Some times it is about finding that perfect music.

 

[apgold]

More Beyonce, is the count now 3?

 

[ice coverage]

yes he did

Adorable. And LOL, I had edited my post above to add that I don't think skaters "forget" to tuck in their shirts. (karne, where are you?? She will know what I mean.)

Han's shirt actually was fairly long, so I wouldn't have expected it to ride up sooo much. Guess it caught him off guard too.
