2023 CS Finlandia Trophy Free Dance

This is the first time I've seen them happy with their scores since they turned senior I think. Hopefully a sign that they're moving up

I do like how Christina communicates her growing sense of uneasiness as the dance progresses. I like that there is a story. But I didn’t like this as much as I did the first time I saw it

She does, but it is too subtle to be seen from the top rows of the arena.

Juulia always has the most beautiful dresses. They make such gorgeous shapes and have lovely flow. I predict this will go into first.

this music is very nordic electro-pop

Well done

Should be enough to gold?

The only part of this program I don't like is when they're gliding with their knees interlocked. She looks silly with her arms clamped down like that doing nothing.

Well done

Should be enough to gold?

yes, absolutely

Somebody was about to play the starting of a discipline tune

Looking good for Finland!

unexpected anthem! I almost wondered who was calling me at 11:35pm!

So nice for them

 

[Seven Sisters]

A nice win for the home team! And her dress is in fact beautiul

Congratulations to all the medallists! Especially Lolo and Nik getting to bronze and winning the FD!

And congrats to Olivia and Tim for 4th!

Sadly I won't be able to watch the ladies. Cheer them on for me though!

my dance prediction

Mine were undone by mistakes by LoLo & Nik and Olivia & Tim. I also underestimated the French and C&P. I will learn from this. I overestimated on O & P.

Early season comps are always such a jumble though. I admire those of you brave enough to predict the results!

I am not sure about it yet. Zingas/Kolesnik scored lower in the FD, but that can change, and I wouldn't write Green/Parsons off so soon either just because of their first very early competition. People did that last season, and look how that turned out for them.

I learn more from my mistakes. I am not afraid to course correct. Admittedly I lost time to research as well as I usually do given the whole spoiler button distraction. Why it had to be pushed so urgently, I'll never know. I could've worked on it during the off weeks and not missed so much skating. For that I am truly peeved.
