2015 Worlds Free Dance March 27

Ahhhhh they're so cute. Best skating skills out there. It's such a shame that they're pigeonholed by their siblingness

 

[blue_idealist]

nothing besides being the country's third couple, I suppose...

I thought they were more generously scored last year, although it wasn't as clear that they were #3 since they'd gone to the Olympics over G/P.

Nice skating from the Shibutanis, nice crisp elements, especially those twizzles! Their dance still lacks that certain oomph, though, to elevate this from nice to wow, but enough for the lead likely

FD: 50.6+52.55 = 102.55 (PB), 172.03 (PB), 1st (out of 15)

Really, really good Shibs! C'mon judges!!!

 

[firal]

Those twizzles! Crowd appreciated that too.

 

[Ravyn Rant]

Maia's and Alex's twizzles make me so happy. I wish the judges liked them as much as I do!

 

[Alchamei]

YES YES YES! personal best 102.71!!!

 

[ancientpeas]

I thought the Shibs did great.

And um..wasn't it Paul and Islam skating to In your eyes?

But I agree.. real Peter Gabriel would make for a great program. Solsbury Hill especially.

But only a point and change higher technically than G/P??? Well if you say so.

Now please GET A NEW CHOREOGRAPHER PLEASE SHIBS. PRETTY PLEASE WITH SUGAR ON TOP???

eta: YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!! They broke 100 at Worlds.



ETA to the previous ETA: A LOWER tech score than G/P??????? It's a sign of the Impending Apocalypse. Or I want a toke of whatever the judges are having. Make that SEVERAL tokes.

It's will be VERY difficult for Ruslena to beat Shibs. Just to keep three spots for Russia for the next year.

I would love it if someone skated to Solsbury Hill. I think it would be a good choice for Ruslena, or maybe W/P.

The doesn't seem happy with those marks but it's a SB.

 

[Sophie-Anna]

Another amazing program!!! I loved it. They showed great skating skills, good musicality, and I liked how the music changes and Maia and Alex react to it.

 

[DaPurpleDino]

The green room is so awkward...

But wow Alex and Maia

 

[sabinfire]

Final group. The group! Go Madison and Elena! And the guys too...

 

[bartlebooth]

I'm getting sooo nervous

 

[Hyena]

I thought Gilles/Poirier and the Shibutanis both skated the best versions of the FDs tonight. I wouldn't mind seeing both go ahead of one or two of the couples in the next group, though that's probably not likely to happen.

And one more mention of Maia and Alex's twizzles

 

[Alchamei]

C/B have their black cosrumes back.

 

[gravy]

The doesn't seem happy with those marks but it's a SB.

Personal best too.

 

[sabinfire]

Guess C/B didn't like their new outfits from 4CC.
