2015 Worlds Short Dance March 25

[Leonardo]

I don't want to live in a world where chock/bates are considered better than all the other ice dancers.

 

[firal]

Feeling bad for Maia and Alex

 

[Alchamei]

Only 72.68. Only. Level 2 on the paso doble sequence.

 

[dress]

W/P not as hot as usual. Something missing tonight... oh god I'm scared for them. Please no C/B as world champions

 

[Alba]

Same here.

They didn't put a foot wrong and I/Z had at least 3 stumbles....minor, but when the other team is basically perfect it should surely show somewhere?

Let's not exaggerate here. 1 minor stumble and it was reflected on TES. I&Z got "their" scores. Take your anger with those who got 72+

 

[wordsworthgirl]

C/L above the Shibs is just insane to me. Their stiff skating, shallow edges, and her awful posture!

I agree with Chock and Bates in first. To me, the Shibs should be second, with Weaver/Poje right behind them. C/L- Ugh. I did not see Ruslena.

 

[samson]

Wow I really didn't expect them to be behind C/B after the SD.

 

[gravy]

Shpilband has been politicking. Oh jes.

 

[Alchamei]

Save us P/C!

 

[Hanmgse]

yep 2nd place for W/P

 

[NoNameFace]

74+ for Chock/Bates? NONE of couples will reach this, it will all depend on draw for free - if they'll go last, they have gold locked. I'll be back late to write my impressions, because now I'm speechless for that score...An wait for Frenchies

 

[Leonardo]

Oh my, w/p and c/b are almost tied for pcs.

 

[Scovies]

What a horking chunk of unbelievable bull puckey. There is no universe in which C/B are better than W/P or the Shibs.

 

[blue_idealist]

Bleh, I think W/P should have been first. The only "flaw" I noticed was that they looked a bit nervous.

You can re-live the moment over & over again here:

C/B were lovely, but I don't understand what specifically puts them over the Shibs. I don't know enough about ice dance to parse out what the judges are seeing that gives C/B the edge.

 

[Alchamei]

I don't want to live in a world where chock/bates are considered better than all the other ice dancers.

We do. I think I can forget about legal drinking age...

 

[Mony]

Let's not exaggerate here. 1 minor stumble and it was reflected on TES. I&Z got "their" scores. Take your anger with those who got 72+

Agreed, I&Z got their score basically, no more than usual. I guess when you are seen as the US number 2 team, you can't get the high scores to be close to the number 1. I guess they lost points on the twizzles or something.

Ice dance judging can be such a mess.

 

[koriani]

If C/B end up as world champs, Ice Dance for me is a lost cause because the reputation status is just ridiculous at this point. The Shibs should have been first!

 

[Meoima]

I don't care about the rest as I/Z now will be in the last group in FD!! Time to celebrate~ :yay:

 

[Sophie-Anna]

If C/B will be world championsh, then I don't know what to do. I don't understand ice dancing technique so much, but I think Shibs and their quality of skating and edges is far ahead C/B. Now I see the score for Weaver/Poje. Just 72, two points behind. Now P/C. If couple like C/B can have core like this then there is something wrong with the judges.
