2021 Skate America: Free Dance

[slider11]

Really preferred Soucisse and Firus' performance to K/K. K/K performance was charming but lacked intensity for me. I also didn't see their levels as being higher than the Canadians.

I think they think they are groundbreaking, but are really just a sloppier copy of what others have done. I know they will outscore Molly & Yehor, but I enjoyed them less. Sywia Novak has a lot of pull though.

I'm with you. It's just one of them teams that look better live than on telly,

Just wish Natalia didn't wear tan boots

Are M/K eligible to compete for Japan at the Olympics?

They are, Tim got his citizenship recently.

I liked Molly/Yehor's FD more than the Poles.

Level 1 for Polish dancers st sq...oh dear.

 

[s_parks]

Oh phew I didn't miss dance

 

[Supernovaimplosion]

So Madison Chock is an alien right??

 

[FlyingFeather]

I know this is unpopular, but I like K/S. They just have a vibe I like

I do not completely understand the program, but I have huge respect for them. They skate to what they like and vibe with it.

Olivia Smart still looks like a dandelion but her dress design is better now

 

[LadyB]

C'mon the big guns!!! Beautiful girls 'n guys, what's not to like?

 

[Hyena]

Madison Chock decided that whatever other points they end up leaving on the table today, it wouldn't be for boring hair/make-up.

 

[rollerblade]

They finally put something not bland on Evan Bates, and it is hideous!

 

[FlyingFeather]

They are, Tim got his citizenship recently.

Yay!!!!!

I definitely respect their commitment. Everything they do is strange but they commit 100%

Does the cameraman have a crush on Annabelle or just her dress?

 

[elektra blue]

i'm conflicted about Annabelle's costume...i know it's inspired by the ballet one but i don't know whether i like it or not on her...

 

[labgoat]

H'm. I'm sorry, I didn't much enjoy the Polish team. Perhaps they are doing well (I cannot really relate to the judging of Dance elements), but I would have both the Canadians and the Japanese higher.

They are very good at the pattern dances and their scores have waned as the emphasis on pattern dances has waned.

My personal bias is that I don't understand how they were ahead of H/B in the RD last worlds.

So Madison Chock is an alien right??

Apparently, she told an interviewer that technically Evan is the alien, since he is the astronaut that landed on her planet!

I'll be the uncultured one and say that I don't despite the ballet inspiration
