2023-24 Russian Grand Prix - Stage 4 - Kazan

[Mariott]

I really liked the partner jacket, it's cool. The partner's outfit is clearly a reference to Madonna's "Like a Virgin".

 

[Mariott]

Russians (not just dancers) definitely like French music, too, this season, like a lot of skaters.

wait- what was that, did they stop in the middle of... like... everything?

These are provincial juniors, it's not that bad for them.

 

[Mariott]

The team from the Leningrad region have their own inexplicable charm. They are the very restrained and light eighties

 

[Mariott]

Whooooo gnostbusters?
My partner failed the twizzles, who do I call?

 

[Mariott]

At times it felt like the girl was just moving her partner from place to place, that's the way to do it, well done, let's move on
They're cute, though. Who else would have thought to combine Rhythm of the Night and Gnostbusters?

I was just surprised.

 

[Mariott]

I love dances that start with a villainous laugh After that, you're expecting at least "Thriller". But they have more original music, I even want to know what the tune is.

 

[Mariott]

I mean, all these guys are not brilliant technically... but their music is cool!

 

[Mariott]

"Secret?" The DJ in the warm-up has great taste in music

 

[Mariott]

We'll hear the rhythms of Italy at least one more time in this warmup

 

[Mariott]

Kolomenskaya/Frolov look like retirees next to these teenagers

 

[Mariott]

"Under Pressure" is a really cool song, even for dancing. As for "I was made for loving you, baby" they can't perform it well. But thanks for the nice choice of music, good taste.
Oh, they actually have good scores!

 

[Mariott]

Some really boring dancing to a provocative Madonna song
Wow, what a synchronized fall, thanks god, they didn't run over each other.

 

[Mariott]

And here is the first Italian tribute in this warm-up from the kids from Perm - Ricci e Poveri.
And such a popular songs, we love it here. Cute kids!

 

[Mariott]

Jabina/Pekin is the first team from this warm-up that I liked the dance. It's a really solid production. It's a well-deserved 4th place.

 

[Mariott]

So, contenders for the 1st place and Italian hit #1 in Russia! Felicitaaaaa!!!

Tell me, has anyone besides Russians taken Italian 80's rhythms for rhythm dance this season? It would be funny if we were the only ones

I haven't seen Italians doing it, lol, but that's because Russians are skating for domestic market and the Italians don't. As paradoxid as it sounds...

Also, Popov WD...I hope the kid is okay.

 

[Mariott]

I assume they will now push Shcherbakova-Goncharov out of 1st place and win the rhythm dance, their technical points are not much but higher...

We just have a fondness for Italian music from the 80's, maybe even in an international competition setting we'd see a few programs with this kind of music... but that's just a guess.

Also, Popov WD...I hope the kid is okay.

Ivan unfortunately suffered a leg injury, details are unknown.

Yes, Kolomenskaya-Frolov wins 0,5 point from Shcherbakova-Goncharov and wins the rhythm dance.

 

[Mariott]

Is anyone watching the first sports couples warm-up? There's the strongest in the first warm-up.
