amazing... Weapo had the highest BV... when it gets smoother it will score bigger....

When Tessa jumps from that flip entry to the lift it always freaks me out and is a bit eww at the same time.

Are you forgetting that its always been a three-way tie between skate canada, skate american and COP for the worst "home cooking"? because alot of people here seem to forget that.

I'm not forgetting that. I'm saying I'm tired of it affecting the results. That's all.

Today so far Canada is in the first place. :luv17:

Thank you all for a much better-civilized thread than the ladies ones! will see you all in the men's thread!

Hubbell/Donohue will face Virtue/Moir again at NHK and Anna CAPPELLINI / Luca LANOTTE so the best they could hope for is bronze & silver.

Tessa and Scott were wonderful.
They've done better twizzles, though.

I love how the twizzles end with the music though. A wow moment.

Either at GPF or OLY calling it now.

Why not by NHK? They were super close here and they'll keep improving it.

Well, Papadakis and Cizeron can ...score more than V/M.

I mean... they've never scored a total that high so... They can, just like V/M can score higher. They have the FS highest ever score, but V/M have the SD and overall.

Hotness contest between coach and student.

That whole school though. Marie-France, Tessa, Madi, Olivia, Laurence, Gabi... Patrice, Romain, Scott, Zach, Guillaume, Nikolaj, Adria...

Without that 1 pt time violation deduction they would have been in front!

Weaver/Poje got a violation for the lift too long in the free, so we could just add +1 to both totals.

Oh well... same old story. I hope this won't end up taking them out of the GPF.

I'm happy they have two really strong programs and they look amazing already. H/D are the only dance team I'm really a fan of, so it's a bit of a heartbreak every time for one reason or another.

They were pretty thrilled though. And that's right on par with what the Shibs got, even with the deduction. They're in a good position

The scores here were a tad higher, mostly GOE, than COR. I do think it's because the top 4 delivered good programs, and the overall impression of the last group was much better.

Sorry, I hate that lift. It's vulgar and controversial I know.

 

[Cherry blossom]

You mean the "vulgar" lift?

I think you misspelt innovative

 

[labgoat]

Iconic lift tbh.

Just cover the eyes of the baby dancers watching their idols. Dance is for adults!

I have NO problem with the Virtue and Moir scores here. They were brilliant. I felt Hubbell and Donahue outskated Weaver and Poje in both programs and deserved the silver. That they placed third and could find themselves out of the GP Final is what concerns me.

Yes, especially in the SD. W/P benefited from skating on home ice and "being on the scene for longer".
I did hear Zach say they need to place 2nd at both their GP events to qualify. I hope there's still some way for them to do that have placed 3rd here.

With two silvers is a bit more guaranteed that they will qualify, but a silver and a bronze is quite possible too, especially with those scores.

Yeah Not the best move for a 5 year old to see. ice dance for sure can get pretty sexy at times.

 

[CanadianSkaterGuy]

Sigh. Why does everyone seem to forget that there is also a short dance?

This. Times. A. Million.

 

[maddiesparks]

I love the Carmen lift. Watching people clutch pearls over it is quite amusing.

 

[labgoat]

Struggling with sorting out spellings - Kaitlin, Kaitlyn, Kaetlyn...

I thought they were held down in the short, too.

 

[CanadianSkaterGuy]

W/P also got -1 for an Extended Lift so it all balances out.
