2017 Four Continents Free Dance

[reneerose]

F/B were nice, but they need speed speed speed. The edges could be better. But the two main problems for me is that they don't skate as a couple--they hardly looked at each other!--and the entire performance was skated at one level. There was no attempt to bring out the highs and lows of the music.

Yes too slow and the music could have been cut better for the program. Seemed strange to use cuts from two different Sherlock Holmes productions.

I like this team. I hope we see more of them. They seem to be gelling nicely for such a new team.

 

[ancientpeas]

Karne? Which ID team is going to worlds?

 

[Violet Bliss]

i mean... we are not even at poje yet and i am find myself looking down there lol

doesn't help that the camera zoomed on it too.....

Are you sure about the camera zoom? I remember once Joubert was very distracting with his tights and nobody realized the camera was actually zooming in on his bloody hand. There were catty remarks about the camera person being very unprofessional!

 

[auser]

i wonder if he stuffed it...ballet dancer style.. poor boy...

Eek, sounds uncomfortable:eeking:

 

[WeakAnkles]

M/R are a definite step up. The curve lift is a mess, but there was actual attention paid to musicality there.

 

[ancientpeas]

Stairway to Heaven! I approve.

 

[sabinfire]

But is it rationalized hatred? Like if you hate Grobin and your favourite teams skates to him.. are you naying because of the Grobinness or yaying because of the team bias?

Definitely naying... Grobin is unacceptable! :disagree:

 

[karne]

These two are much better matched. They must be Australia No. 1? I really liked the move where they did the circular drag. Cool.

Aus #2 - Matilda and William knocked Nationals out of the ballpark

Are you watching now? I'm trying to do loose recaps for your team, but I'll stop if you don't need them

Can't watch. Refreshing Golden Skate like constantly.

Karne? Which ID team is going to worlds?

Neither. No-one has minimums

 

[Barb]

The idea was interesting but I am not convinced.

My off brand popcorn chicken tastes like licorice

Big cheer for the Korean team (natch).

OMG BIG CHEER FROM ME DO YOU KNOW HOW LONG I'VE WANTED SOMEONE TO SKATE TO STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN?!

 

[ancientpeas]

Definitely naying... Grobin is unacceptable! :disagree:

This is me and I/M's LP this year. Love them. Hate the program. It's treacle.

If you want licorice why not have licorice? Why risk it with weird tasting chicken?

*hates licorice*

 

[ruffledgrouse]

Noooo, double fall on a lift(?)

I was just thinking how they should have stayed with Stairway through the crescendo instead of switching to Cashmere when that happened. I still liked it

 

[rain]

Well even with that awful double fall I'd put them into first. Their speed is so much better and the lifts, spin — no comparison.

 

[ancientpeas]

I thought that was entertaining. Led Zeppelin will always earn you points from me.

Apparently Richard likes washing the dishes. Is he using that the way it's used here? Ironically suggestive?

 

[4everchan]

patriceeeeee

 

[ancientpeas]

patriceeeeee

hey.. I thought we agreed that if anyone but Marie-France was getting Patrice I could have him. I need a pout emoji.

 

[ruffledgrouse]

Koreans go into first by about 10 points.
