2023-24 Russian Nationals Free Dance

I very much enjoyed the peaceful former third of that. I wish so many programs wouldnt insist on jarring changes into ferocity.
 
Im starting to warm up to Tarasova a bit recently. I like that she is brutally honest and technically sophisticated. But I'm still thankful not to have her voice over the ladies skating, especially mid-skate.
 
Getting back to Shanaeva / Drodz

Well, we've had lots of people doing their own versions of Chopin and Beethoven pieces, so I suppose it is Bach's turn.

The reason it took so long for me to post this is that I was trying to find out who was providing the vocals. I was curious because the voice sounded to me like a particular singer from Belfast. But, I eventually found out that it was an Italian called Petra Magoni.

Sofia and Daniil couldn't handle the pressure. I didn't expect them to be in medal contention. I guess they didn't either.

But I expected Ira and Devid to be strong. After seeing them at the show and then at the test skates. In general, when they were just announced as a couple. Nothing against Dario, but he and Irina just didn't match together.

The top eight places are about what I expected.
 
I'm actually glad there's such competition. There's no gap like in the past. If M/U didn't make a few little flaws here and there, they could have challenged L/G for the fifth place. Their TES is above L/G's.
 
I wonder what Dolly Parton thinks of this version of "I Will Always Love You"...?

I know what I think of it! 🙉

No, if you're going to skate to that song, it has to be the iconic Whitney Houston cover.

Actually, I didn't like the costumes either.

But the skating was great!

Into 2nd in the FD and 1st overall.

I know we've seen a lot of similar dresses to this over the years, but I was getting very worried that Sasha was going to get tripped up with the way the material was flying about and getting caught around her legs.

But, that was beautiful.
