Arina and Maxim, wonderful! That super-fast lift was amazing.

I'm definitely going to have to watch this again, partially because it was just that good and in perhaps an even larger part due to how distracted I was by how much I want a crystal-less replica of that dress to wear as regular everyday clothing.

Arina USHAKOVA / Maxim NEKRASOV RUS

FD: Black Cat, White Cat (soundtrack) by Goran Bregovic; choreo by Natalia Yanovskaia, Elena Maslennikova

there is a non coordinated feel to this beginning

Now they are together
twizzles very fast

diagonal step nice changes of hold
into straight line lift she hand stands that change of position

spinning motion

no touch step

jigging in place

into spin


then off into a speedy finish with rotational lift. very fast change of position not too clear.

and they mime being exhausted.

That should do it to win.

Oona and Gage, WOW. That was the most impressive ice dance I've ever seen. SHE lifted HIM, WOW! has that ever happened before!? And that hydroblade was amazing. I hope to see much, much more of them.

Sara Hurtado did.

Let me introduce you kids to Marina Anissina and Gwendal Peizerat:

And this particular lift the Browns did, I've seen it before... Delobel and Schoenfelder? I'm not sure. Anyone?

 

[BillNeal]

Love this free dance, they are super musical, expressive and it just looks effortless.

 

[flanker]

Einaudi is a new warhorse? But I like this composition very much. And nice lifts by Americans.

 

[cheerknithanson]

That was beautiful.

 

[ancientpeas]

Beautiful.

Two very nice performances back to back.

 

[Mrs. P]

So much Imagine Dragons in here!

I Loved this! It was so seamless -- I love that some of the moves just flowed into the next not much setup.

 

[BillNeal]

Good on DJ for playing Imagine Dragons Demons right after.

Hurtado/Diaz used to perform that lift

 

[Ichatdelune]

Wow :shocked: They were lovely and musical, that was... wow.

Very, very good from Avonley and Vadym. Avonley looks like a born star.

 

[zebobes]

Avonley is like a cross between Madison Chock and Meryl Davis. Pretty amazing.

 

[Marta25]

Nguyen/Kolesnik are so lovely

 

[cheerknithanson]

Avonley is like a cross between Madison Chock and Meryl Davis. Pretty amazing.

I was thinking she looked liked a mini Madison Chock.

Hurtado/Diaz used to perform that lift

Yes, but I'm thinking of an older team. I think. May be wrong.

I'm not that young to not remember marina and Gwendal. But this lift did Sara Hurtada with Adria Diaz

 

[BillNeal]

Avonley is like a cross between Madison Chock and Meryl Davis. Pretty amazing.

And a great partner she has as well .

 

[hanyuufan5]

Wow, I usually don't like darker programs, but that was stunning. There's something special about Avonley and Vadym that I can't quite explain. They could skate to pots and pans clanging, and I would find it no less pleasant than the kind of programs I usually prefer.

Shpilband has some great junior teams in his ranks.
