2022 Winter Olympics: Rhythm Dance

[labgoat]

I hope that slip doesn’t hurt C/B too much. They don’t have the power and speed of S/K. The lifts and the program are superior however. Madison sold every second of that!

Madison is so tiny, I would not expect her to be as fast as the taller skaters.

CHOCK Madison / BATES Evan

DUH! I enjoyed this performance more than the Russian's - the blend of the choreography matches the tone of Billie Eilish so well. And they brought a lot of new moments to elevate their prior outings. Shame on the shaky exit out of the midnight blues, but I think they'll still get the levels. Very good twizzles and fantastic timing with the lift. That small error though will likely put them in third so far.

Their TES went down and they barely have them in front of S/B. Their hopes for a medal are slipping. Sad.

 

[FlyingFeather]

So low!

 

[Mista Ekko]

Wow, C\B JUST making that spot over S\B

Oh phew third! Not too awful!

Woohoo! Piper and Paul are ready to gooooo!

 

[LadyB]

Phew...
Come on, Piper and Paul!!!!!!!

 

[readernick]

Madison looks sad. I don't ever want Madison to look sad but that skate definitely wasn't their best.

 

[4everchan]

damn it

 

[elektra blue]

Piper and Paul! go!

 

[AliAle]

As I said before, it's the Olympics? Not a funeral or a Bolshoi ballet, have some fun with the music and choreo.

We can agree to disagree, but you can be fun without going the Joe Cocker route (case in point, Piper and Paul just skating now).

C/B have opened the door for G/P if they can step through. Unfortunate!

 

[Seven Sisters]

I know some folks like Eilish and this program, but I continue to be mystified as to why they ditched their original choice—Sade, which I think would have worked so much better.

Wait till I explain what his last name means in Russian…
