Aw, well done Matilda and William, that was great! They've made a really good recovery after his broken ankle.
Ok so I had a look at ChSt again and I think (not really sure cause there are not many guidelines on it) but perhaps it got invalidated because it wasn't skated around a defined horizontal short axis but rather a traveling axis?

I can't imagine that Marie-France and Romain forgot the rules when choreographing this.this is odd... i am definitely not infused with any knowledge, but what you are showing in the video looks planned... in other words, it's not like they made a mistake and it invalidated their element... so they will need to fix the choreo.....
I can't imagine that Marie-France and Romain forgot the rules when choreographing this.
Choreographic Character Step Sequence
The following requirements apply:
- Performed anywhere in the program
- Must be placed around the Short Axis and proceed from barrier to barrier.
- May be in hold or not touching
6. Choreographic Character Step Sequence shall be identified at the entrance to the element and confirmed when both partners perform steps around the short axis from barrier to barrier.
7. Any Choreographic Element/Movement combined with another Required Element as an ‘Entry’ or ‘Exit’ feature will not be considered by the Technical Panel as a required Choreographic Element/Movement. It will only be considered by the Technical Panel as an ‘entry’ and/or ‘exit’ feature.
If this line of thinking is correct, then I feel really bad for Marjorie and Zach, because that's not on them at all.
Also, if true, I have to imagine there are going to be a lot of emergency choreography sessions at the Gadbois Centre in the next few days, because if Marie-France and Romain really have misunderstood the rules, any of their other teams could also have this design flaw.
He had a broken ankle? Wow, that is a good recovery. Really, I think they have potential. I want to see how they develop.
Anybody knows why L/L really lost the whole Step sequence?
after reading all the replies I guess a short axis must be a red line that is parallel with the middle line. For me, they were on an axis that was parallel with whatever red line. Do they really need to skate around that line?
