That was lovely! I don’t know if I’ve seen this pair before but I’m excited to see more of them.

Ohh, was he very enthusiastic? I do remember a young Chinese pair with a male star.

Oh crap Sasha is skating now!

I take it that cheer means Hocke / Kunkel have done something impressive on the ice.

I remember one year massive cheers going up every time Jennifer Urban did anything when warming up. But, she is actually from Oberstdorf. These two are Berliners.

Ooooh Anna Cappellini choreographed this!!!

(Sorry, Ondrej!)

I was about to cheer them on, then we get Abba. And a weird cover on top of it. No, guys, sorry. Not with me.

i think they need more colors and glitters for an Abba program, but they were solid

 

[Skatesocs]

It's just kind of strange

 

[norwegianfairytale]

Always love a Abba-program

I'm watching this event delayed, but I must say -- This commentator is my kind of figure skating lover! He always talks about the emotion with which the skaters skate, saying things like - that's what it's all about, showing your heart and soul and emotions; it's not just about the elements.
He's very gentle and kind too.

YOU DO NOT MESS ABOUT WITH ABBA SONGS!!!

If you're going to skate to ABBA, use the real thing. Not some cheap immitations.

It's just kind of strange

strange is better than meh all the times

 

[Lamente Ariane]

That soft piano opening scared me, I was afraid we were in for a Schott situation (never forgive that cover of Flashdance) but even if they used a male cover of Lay All Your Love On Me at least it was upbeat! And sounded like the original Voulez-Vous for the step sequence which was all I wanted

 

[Skatesocs]

strange is better than meh all the times

Unless it's strangely meh!

 

[elektra blue]

and now off to jgp! see you there

 

[LadyB]

That wasn't half bad. I agree with the top 6.
