2017 Jr Worlds Short Dance

[WeakAnkles]

Russia's S/A easily, easily, have the best set pattern of the night so far. That should go into first. Easily.

And that might be one of the chicest Russian costumes for a woman I've ever seen.

Lajoie/Lagha are so promising. Good news for them seems to be that Canadian ice dance seems to wide open after 2018 for them to make a breathrough.

i think that gilles and poirier will keep on for another 4 years

When I saw the Russians last time in summer, they lacked presentation skills and charms to appeal to the audience, but they have improved a lot over the time. Well done.

Nicole Cosmicova yeah

You do realise who Anthony is. The son of the 1992 Olympic Ice Dance Champions, Marina Klimova / Sergei Ponomarenko.

And trust me, there are far more unpronouncable names in figure skating!

Yes I know. It's just that last names ending in -ko are generally considered to be of Ukranian origins. Just like -sky/ski are of Polish origins. That's why I made that post.

About other "unpronouncable" names... the amount of time commentators had with Tuktamysheva is just :hslap:

I will gladly help you hand it to them. Good Lord!

I love the costumes with dots. Probably cutest costumes in the dance event.

The Fashion Police would have a field day this flight with the men.

Starting with Mr Lagha. That color blocking and odd Members Only-esque jacket is or should be an infraction of some kind.

I'm not a fan of these Montreal sock hop programs, but they certainly skated it well.

I don't get sock hop for blues dances ... what am I missing?

This announcer is not good with the names (or countries, in one case). It makes me long for PJ Kwong who did 4CC.

I know I brought this up earlier in the season, but I will do it again.

Why is Nicole wearing her bra on top of her dress? And over her belly, for that matter?

Seriously, though. I may not like the costumes for either of them, but I like everything else.

Nicole in particular is a wee firecracker. Can't believe we let her slip through our fingers!

It's like Chess, Barnum, Casablanca and Cirque de Soliel all in one!

 

[Baron Vladimir]

She said it right this time

I hope so. Their disco SD was one of my favourites this season and I am not particularly a disco fan:luv17:

 

[peese]

A few little mistakes but a very gifted and well matched team!

 

[olayolay]

I feel like Carreira/Ponomarenko are kind of being packaged too old for their actual ages.

 

[4everchan]

i think canada should have kept carreira ....

 

[Baron Vladimir]

He has Klimova's eyes btw

 

[WeakAnkles]

Hmm, the Russians had a better set pattern, but C/P had a better swing. This should be close but I think the Russians will be slightly, slightly ahead.

Gosh, they are just both so cute aren't they? So much potential!

ETA: I would have had them second, but that's maybe a matter of De gustibus...

Anthony's twizzles tend to make me very nervous, but they managed the task somehow.
