2022 Olympics Team Event Day3: Free Dance

[saturdaysun]

Not my favorite Wang/Liu program (will I ever get over their iconic Mika program not getting its Olympic moment???) but they are lovely as always.

 

[WeakAnkles]

Wang and Liu feel like a pairs team. So many crossovers, and the height difference does not help.

Bingo. And Montreal recycled several moves from a year ago in the choreo lift especially.

Again, very pleasant but no magic. Still, I must applaud for how FAR this team has come and fully expect them to be coaching dance pairs in China when they retire.

Go, Piper and Paul! <3

1.90m? Where is @Totentanz?

 

[flipsydoodle]

The Chinese ice dance pair remind me of when Shen and Zhao first came on the scene. Pioneers and budding magical. Can’t wait to see them again.

I am hoping Canada would come in 2nd......

Tanith says W/L may have lost levels putting their st sq early in the program before they were well into their knees.

Oh my gosh, I'm so used to streaming figure skating and not watching on TV that I just tried to turn down the volume on my computer instead of the TV

Love the dress, love the couple

...not a fan of the song

 

[figureskatingandrainbows]

I like the colour of their costumes, the fit/style not quite as much. The middle/end of the program was very nice.

 

[s_parks]

Sometimes I can't believe Canada won the team event last olys and now they're off the podium

 

[invisiblespiral]

For some reason, I thought G/P were skating to Both Sides Now again...

 

[GGFan]

Not my favorite G/P vehicle but kudos to them for skating it so well.

 

[Zora]

I don't know, this music was more like exhibition music.

 

[clairexmarie]

Piper and Paul!!! I'm biased as a Canadian ice dance lover but wow what can I even say - simply beautiful

 

[Amei]

Prayer circle for Nikita's back...

 

[anonymoose_au]

Awww just lovely!!

Bravo! Bravo!

 

[WeakAnkles]

Now remember I've never seen any of these LPs before, but I'll say this about Piper & Paul:

this is the team I will miss the most after this quad.

 

[Dr. Jenn]

That was so lovely! Great job, Piper and Paul! That's how you come back from a disappointing RD!
