I was worried that some of their choreo looked like it would be classified as a "loss of balance." 4 points in deductions is quite a bit when they only had one true fall. BUT, I love them and can't wait to see them develop.

I'm calling it now, Browns as Olympic champions 2024! jk, jk, but WOW that was fantastic. They have so much ice presence for ones so young. Totally into it. And some really innovative choreography too--love her lifting him, and the look on her face. What a pity about that one spin, but they didn't let it hold them back later on. Well done, kids!

edit: totally agreeing, between the Browns, the Greens, and all the other teams, the US has some awesome teams coming up the ranks.

More Anissina/Peizerat vibes <3 <3

 

[Mrs. P]

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.

I wonder if the trust factor with a sibling makes it easier to do those daring and risky moves (not specifically the ones I mentioned, just lifts and such in general).

I believe the Kerr siblings from the UK did it. But I need to find an examples.

 

[Colonel Green]

I would definitely have the Azerbaijani team ahead of the Ukrainians based on the free.

 

[Ichatdelune]

And that was also great. The music hurt my ears a bit (call me a snob, but I like Rachmaninoff without any electric guitars), but pretty impressive performance.

 

[hanyuufan5]

Darya and Volodymyr, excellent! That hydroblade into the ending pose, wow.

And by now, I suppose it's patently obvious that hydroblading is number 1 on the list of "How to Charm hanyuufan5 With Your Routine".

 

[pearly]

And that was also great. The music hurt my ears a bit (call me a snob, but I like Rachmaninoff without any electric guitars), but pretty impressive performance.

Snob! JK, I'm with you.

I thought the Americans' cutting and pasting together of Gary Moore's songs was dreadful.

 

[Alegria]

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.

start with steps. I am still detoxing from the Browns

twizzles ok yeah

no touch step
mostly

straight line lift. He is not very stable

spin a bit awkward

hydroblade to end.

fd 84.20 into 2nd
total 142.29 into 1st

 

[Princessroja]

Difficult, since the Olympics won't be held in 2024.

But terrific team, I agree.

That would make it more difficult! Haha 2026 then!

 

[ancientpeas]

Very impressive.

 

[BillNeal]

Definitely great personalities and skating skills but I liked their last season's FD a lot better.

 

[cheerknithanson]

Gotta say, I liked the ripped jeans effect that Maxim has.

 

[Ichatdelune]

That was charming and brilliant. U/N are a great team with personality and liveliness, not to mention great skills. Awesome :luv17:

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Not a fan of this FD, way too many ugly positions.

 

[cheerknithanson]

Omg. That's a big score.

 

[Mrs. P]

Dang that score! I think that's the first 100+ FD score in juniors?

 

[BillNeal]

Wow, first 100+ of the JGP.

 

[flanker]

Ushakova+Nekrasov, slightly more conservative than usually Practically one objection, sometimes they are maybe too far, otherwise thumbs up :agree:
And that score...
