"She is also my mum"

They are obviously not allowed to stand on one podium and must keep the distance when taking pictures...

Ice Dance podium starting.

That was good timing. I had just finished watching Coline KERIVEN / Noel-Antoine PIERRE, and had just opened the video for Elizaveta ZHUK / Martin BIDAR.

"She is also my mum"

That will be always a mistery for me: why Ria couldn't find a new partner after Wunderlich decided to retire...

Awwww!!!! The wee girl really struggled with carrying the flowers to Sasha and George.

So cute!

Hearing our anthem at figure skating event... I can say I'm moved a little. Thank you Taschlers.

Maybe there is a shortage of male ice dancers in Germany

Hang on. There's another ceremony coming on. And Ria's already left us.

EDIT: It's a team trophy, in memory of Fritz Geiger.​

Yeh, I know... But having a base in Oberstdorf and a mom in fed authorities... The shortage must have been vast. Like: zero male dancers... What's so sad for such a big country...

I'm so happy for the big brother and lil' sister and their silver... but in fact the Frenches made my day. Didn't expect Vivaldi is so much entertaining

As somebody whose top ID favourites include the Shibs, I usually don't have a problem with sibling teams (both in ID and pairs). I do disagree with using romantic/romance-based themes (including tangos) for them though, aside from the obvious weirdness sibling teams just don't have the chemistry (like, duh) to pull it off well.

If they want to do it, they should just commit and use this: https://youtu.be/GlkgmdYxiuM

I'm into the music and the theme, would like some more speed and precision (which isn't there due to the pandemic, I know)

The choreographic elements prior to the dance spins were eye-catch lovely but after seemed more routine.
