2016 Cup of China Short Dance

[matcha]

What a great skate from S/B! They're my prefered Russian ice dancers, so that was A+.

omg... their TES is higher than my babies atm!

 

[NoNameFace]

I'm just waiting for one of the ladies to accidentally rip off her whole top during one :eeking:

do you have any preferences/picks for that malfunction extraordinaire?

 

[cathlen]

Some good TES for S/B is going!

 

[ancientpeas]

Look at the TES. When I saw the twizzle I thought there was an error but I guess not. Good job S/B. Still find them flaily. Flailography.

OMG, that section to LunchMoney Lewis' Bills.

Straight up eastern Eurotrash. Love it.

Omg stepanova and bukin!!! It is first time seeing them this season! So so charming! I dont necessarily understand how each musuc is connected, but they were super expressive and on-point to every music cut!! I like them!!

I've decided that Laurine Lecavelier has the greatest costume change this quarter.

 

[Lota]

Yay, they were great!!!

And hey, at least the crowd liked their lift I guess to the untrained eye ice dance is really all about which team has the shinier lift, the other elements are less... erm... impressive?

Alexandra STEPANOVA / Ivan BUKIN

Brought some life to the crowd with their first lift. Seemed a little labored in some parts? Ended strong

This program is such a lost opportunity...

72.09 happy KnC at that score! Ivan being cute

 

[puremagic]

Good skate by Bukins! :agree:

 

[4everchan]

they were really far apart in twizzles ...

Look at the TES. When I saw the twizzle I thought there was an error but I guess not. Good job S/B. Still find them flaily. Flailography.

Not totally feel their style but there's something summer, sultry, hotblooded, vibrant about this SP. Stepanova is like a volatile wind.

 

[Crossover]

I missed Shibus and the other two teams, but tuned in Stepanova/Bukin's turn. I think they can make a SB? The performance looked pretty good.

 

[ancientpeas]

Glad they are behind the shibs. I don't think the forum could have taken it.

Go Paul/Islam!

 

[Lota]

Lol, he's such a puppy

 

[Mista Ekko]

Russia starting that olympic podium spot bid

(You know it's happening)

 

[ruffledgrouse]

What happened to P/I? Where are my ridiculously beautiful ice couple?

 

[Violet Bliss]

Go Alex and Mitch!

What?! They have withdrawn!

 

[gravy]

Make room for a Russian on the podium at Worlds.

They're all inconsistent so they're propping all of them and hope one of them hits.

 

[ruffledgrouse]

WITHDRAWN?!?!?!?!

My bbs! What happened? Were they in the warm up?
