2022 Grand Prix Espoo Rhythm Dance

[Seven Sisters]

Who was talking about subtle costuming a little bit ago?!

And that midline sequence was not great—I’m sure it looked better in practice

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Why are weird faces necessary? Are they supposed to bring something to the competition?

I think someone told ice dancers that you get higher performance scores if you make big facial expressions

 

[maofan]

Madison in K&C as a coach!

 

[Demandred]

This pink vest is so distracting. They skated better in NHK.

 

[moonvine]

Huh. That’s not illusion fabric is it?

Natalie TASCHLEROVA / Filip TASCHLER CZE
They are the closest in speed and power to Madi & Zach.

 

[moonvine]

Well that was fun!

 

[Ares]

Well, this was crisp from the Czech siblings! They did have a considerably better speed and deeper edges than the Chinese. I do expect them to take the lead.

I enjoyed them a lot, but then again ... I always enjoy Taschlerova/Taschler.

 

[Lamente Ariane]

WOW. Right out the gate crushing it with speed, power and ice coverage! The energy flagged a little towards the end but that was an impressive beginning, especially compared to what we've seen so far.

 

[Demandred]

I love the speed and power of the Taschlers.

 

[Seven Sisters]

Yeah baby! I jump off my couch for the first standing O of the day!

Crowd seems to love them also. I even heard a well placed scream!

It always looks so odd to me. Like the women have a perpetually surprised face.

 

[CellarDweller]

Ok, in the slo-mo replay, she looked like she was gonna have a wardrobe malfunction. lol

Since Madi's here, I'm curious if she was watching.

 

[moonvine]

Looks like someone sneaked her a very large elephant. I approve.

 

[labgoat]

Now the team whose power belied their height...
Oona BROWN / Gage BROWN USA

 

[yelyoh]

Gage and Oona!!!

 

[CellarDweller]

[Lamente Ariane]

Ah, Oona was the other one I saw glowing in the dark.

 

[labgoat]

Did anyone lose the sound on their feed on the replays?
