2015 US Nationals Senior Short Dance Jan 23

[Mista Ekko]

Both top Dance teams in the World at the moment are competing tonight,
Methinks both federations are politicking for high scores to make an impact

Anyways, Killer score :agree:

IceNetwork seems to be having audio issues during the Shibs SD.

Interesting that the Shibs always get a more enthusiastic crowd response than Chock/Bates.

 

[gravy]

Massive roar and ovation for the Shibs.

 

[cptnhastings]

I just assumed C/Bs would lead the Shibs by more than 0.11. Wow.

 

[riceplate]

Madison/Evan - I felt like I was watching Tanith and Ben redux with almost no chemistry.

Shibs were on fire.

 

[LisaM]

Yay for the Shibs!

 

[Mrs. P]

This group had been great! Loved Anastasia and Colin too!

1. People still can´t forgive Bates for Emily Samuelson (sorry I still can´t)
2. I think Chock/Bates are just OTT faces, but well just be me

 

[samson]

LOVED the Shibs. I understand why Chock/Bates were ahead per "flair" but idk... Shibs gave me butterflies tonight.

Also this might be controversial... and I LOVE Hawayek and Baker, but I prefered Cannuscio and McManus just now. Wow.

 

[Jammers]

Zueva must have saved all her politiking for Nationals. Otherwise she's going to go 0 for 2014-15 with her teams.

About time they stop getting lowballed.

 

[lmarie086]

WHOA those are quite the scores. Interesting - the Shibs hit their levels then I take it?

Me, too! I'm hoping they can break through a bit this year!

And it's not because they just did a great program that brought the audience to their feet. Not at all. :sarcasm:

What happened with Bates & Samuelson? More drama?

I agree. I love C/M's FD a lot more than H/B, which is saying a lot cause I like theirs too.

She waited for him for a entire season while he recover over a lession (they made a mistake and she cut her tendons on practice after 2010 Olympics)... just to tell her he got a new partner. She got late to find a new partner and coach, after one season gave up competitive skating, now she just do shows.

Me too, I want to know. I am very new to dance! I only watched D/W, V/M and the Shibs before recent times!

It sounds like Emily is doing great though. I think she is in graduate school.
