2021 Skate America: Rhythm Dance

[Amei]

Is it me or are everyone's levels looking low?

IDK - Ice dance has been something that I've never been able to understand the rules of so I just watch for enjoyment purposes

Let’s discuss this important detail—Nic is wearing an earring

Is he? I didn't notice as I was admiring his pants.

In other news considering my dancing I must be the guiltiest person in the world

It’s not you. The tech panel is having a hissy fit

It's quite interesting to see in ice dance. Lost key points for everyone!
I'm sure everyone will look improved by the olympics and worlds.

George Michael is exactly what these two extremely attractive human beings should skate to.

They really sell this so well - shame about the KPs but it's so fun and will definitely appeal to TV audiences during the Olympics

 

[Lamente Ariane]

OUCH on the keypoints, but I actually like this program for them, and I think their levels and GOE on other elements will keep them in contention for bronze.

Laurence/Nikolaj skated beautiful, great coverage of the ice.

 

[Ichatdelune]

Those two fit the sexy saxophone of Careless Whisper so well

 

[SnowWhite]

I'm not sure why Laurence wants to be Barbie in this program, but she looks pretty. And Nik looks hot - the close up on him right was they started was

that was awesome!!!!!! I am no dance specialist... but it seems the judges liked their pattern too... with high goe, despite a base level from the TP>...

 

[MalAssada]

I love a harsh panel.

 

[labgoat]

I think this is the same tech panel that did the Lake Placid comp this summer (certainly Rettstatt and Fraser were there.) That was a fairly unforgiving tech panel, so we shouldn’t expect astronomically high scores here.

Regarding the tech panel.

 

[Seven Sisters]

Well done—I really, really like this one. One of the best this season, iMHO

Did the Canadians censor the word "sex" by not "sexy"? I appreciate the nod toward family friendliness, but George Michael must be rolling in his grave.

OK, this was much better for FB/S than the last time I saw it. I didn't really like it then but I do now. They need to get their key points though. It looked like they got none of them.

until i saw his earring... no need for that...

 

[kmw227]

I love Laurence's dress

 

[text_skate]

Loved the first lift

 

[auser]

Thank you for firing me up with your hot energy Laurence... oh and you too Nikolaj!

 

[LadyB]

That was not half bad!
