2015 Worlds Short Dance March 25

[Cyn]

And you gotta hand it to the Chinese camera people. They really have a knack for capturing exactly the WRONG angle at the WRONG time. That's a talent of some kind.

Those camera operators need to be strung up by their thumbs - some of the worst shots and angles I've ever seen (which, unfortunately, happens consistently at FS events held in China).

OMG THIS EVENT AND THE FALLING [/QUOT

The skaters with mistakes are ones w/ less experience. It's a bit of a stale arena and on a big stage such as this when you don't have the audience to push you like you expect that can rattle your nerves. I expecting the more veteran teams to pull the crowd in to their performances.

Very true. I miss the Spanish crowd *sigh*

 

[Hanmgse]

Definitely not I. That was the LAST place I expect to have splatfests.

yes me too, I was starting to wonder if these many falls were normal in dance since I don't watch the discipline a lot, but I see the aren't

 

[Meoima]

:shocked: So I/Z skated in the first group, ended up as the no.1 Russian team.

 

[dress]

they probably don't know what we want to see

 

[Sophie-Anna]

I hope this SD isn't another 2006 Olympics OD all over again......

What happened then? I didn't watch ice dancing at that time. But from your post it was competition with lot of mistakes?

 

[sunnystars]

a stumble from chris and a fall from cathy :hopelessness:

 

[ruffledgrouse]

Nooooo! I was really rooting for them, too.

 

[firal]

oh no! another lady falls!

 

[Mrs. P]

So how many falls is that?

 

[WeakAnkles]

Reeds nuclear meltdown.

 

[smasma]

What's with all the falls??

 

[evangeline]

Very true. I miss the Spanish crowd *sigh*

To be fair, it's currently around noon on a Wednesday in Shanghai right now....not surprising that there's not a huge rowdy crowd in the arena currently.

 

[samson]

WOW WOW WOW. Another fall.

 

[sses1]

Oh everyone keeps falling. . . . What is going on?

 

[Cyn]

Oy - both Reeds had a really bad bobble/wonky moment during the FW. They also seem a bit frantic - they're not finishing moves and are rushing from element to element.

ETA: And ANOTHER fall.

I'm starting to think this ice is cursed.

Let's hold our horses. There is still the FD, and it's crappy, so they are gonna need all the luck.

 

[samson]

man looking at their TES they're probably going to miss qualifying.

 

[Icey]

So how many falls is that?

I think we are headed for the Guiness Book of Records!!!!

The Japanese so need a good pair and ice dance couple. I don't understand the whole Mervin Tran thing. They should have kept him.
