[Ic3Rabbit]

Never thought I'd hear Pussycat Dolls during an ice-dance.

2010 FD of Nóra Hoffmann/Maxim Zavozin.

You want me to remember 10 years ago? I'm lucky if I remember what I ate for breakfast!

LOL

Just FYI - tangentially skating related - I just got an ESPN alert that the UN could decide the fate of the Tokyo games. I had previously heard that if the Tokyo games are delayed again that the Winter Olympics would also be delayed.

Yes it is incredible abc they’ll come in 3rd. Why do I watch this?

I'm judging Terry slightly for not even mentioning Jean-Luc and Kaitlyn (I gotta figure out the spelling...) I need to find the scores are they super far behind?

Aww Rudy Galindo (on the Jumbotron)

Yes.

FYI, Dance Group 1 of 3 couples, has already skated (prior to pairs FS). Group 2 will have 3 couples, then no ice resurface, then Group 3 is 5 couples.

In other news that was a super long as for medical insurance there.

NBC didn't even upload their RD to YouTube like they did for Chock/Bates and Hubbell/Donohue I had to dig around on Peacock to show their performance to my mother earlier today.

Hilary and Ryan are in the first season of their partnership. They train in Novi.

Ryan and his previous partner trained in Colorado Springs. They competed as seniors at least at 2020 Nats (possibly earlier too, but I don't remember off the top of my head).
Hilary and her previous partner competed as juniors at 2020 Nats. I do not remember where they trained, but it was not Novi. I think Hilary was new to ice dance last season?

(Weathergal, if you have checked ice-dance.com, please feel free to correct anything that I have misremembered.)

Did Taylor/Vollmer use their reverse lift?
I do not have Peacock Premium -- I forgot that I would not be able to see their FD.

Thanks for the additional info. You're correct Hillary didn't train in Novi. She and her previous partner trained in Dallas with Logan Guiletti-Schmitt, Pierre Panayi, and Danil Barantsev. It looks like they were only together a year, but it lists other previous partners for her. O'Donnell trained with his previous partner in Colorado Springs, as you mentioned, with Patti Gottwein and Ben Agosto.

I do like Zach and Maddie too, so I hope they do well!

All 3 top teams are awesome. And I don't know any of the other dancing pairs!

It’s really frustrating. They’re an afterthought.

Caroline Green and Michael Parsons have a really fun FD! Keep an eye out for them

Thanks.
Hilary previously was a pair skater. Was it indicated whether her other partners (before Ryan and Kyle Pearson for dance, I mean) were for pairs vs. dance?

Whaaat?! I missed the whole RD! I wanted to see them! Hopefully someone on Insta will have it.

Wow not sure who that lady was but her dress is stunning!

I wonder if they were. It didn't say. Might have to do some more digging!
