2018 Four Continents Short Dance

[Mrs. P]

What is with Michael missing twizzles this season?

 

[cheerknithanson]

Dang, the camera has been messing up quite a bit here.

 

[Crossover]

twizzle errors from both.

Shame about the twizzles for the Parsons. The controller and judges were loving them before that!

 

[Mrs. P]

They will probably be out of the final group. Such a shame.

What is with Michael missing twizzles this season?

It was both of them this time though. Her first, then him

 

[s_parks]

So frustrating to see the twizzle mishaps with the Parsons this season with all their quality.

 

[rain]

Ouch, twizzle trouble strikes.

 

[cheerknithanson]

Oh my gosh.

They're only 5 points out of 2nd.....I mean it's possible.

I wish Rachael finds another partner with a tall height such as Pavel Drodz of Russia....

My feed was so scratchy I only caught his. :Laugh: awkwardly. Didn't realize she missed it too.

Ben Agosto: "The first step to recovery is acknowledging there's a problem," regarding Kaitlin's somewhat flat performance. Love him.

Kaitlin did "come alive" after the twizzles but I would agree that she needs to build her confidence to dance with expression.

 

[Heleng]

Rachel and Michael twizzles. What a shame, one of their best elements when they're on.

 

[cheerknithanson]

There's still the FD and points to be earned. Looks like the tech panel was strict with levels though.

 

[Hyena]

Those were some rough twizzles.

What's with the Parsons and McNamara/Carpenter's technical struggles this year? Their technical proficiency and gorgeous edges were what I liked most about them.

Most surprising in a good way goes to Soucisse/Firus. And I'm very excited to see Muramoto/Reed in the top 3, too! I've been hoping for a surprise 4CC medal for them since their first year together.

Well this is McNamara/Carpenter and the Parsons first season as seniors. It's probably not going to be a breeze for everyone transitioning.

They do, at least, get small medals!

Hopefully we're just seeing growing pains from both teams. Look at Jean-Luc and Kaitlin -- it took a while for them to get as seniors -- four years ago they were the junior world champs.

 

[NanaPat]

Miramoto/Reed and Soucisse/Firus are virtually tied, and I think that's right. I couldn't decide between them.

thought the Parsons' initial tizzle marks were a bit generous, though they might have gone down.

 

[Hyena]

Kaitlin did "come alive" after the twizzles but I would agree that she needs to build her confidence to dance with expression.

Agreed. I thought she started out okay, but got really focused during the rhumba and couldn't relax again until the twizzles were done and clean. TBH I felt the same about her performance at Nationals.

 

[semosk8tfan]

Michael's twizzle bug came back to bite him...he has really struggled with that element this season. And what is up with them not getting a level 4 on the rhumba?
