No need for a conspiracy though... It must be disheartening for the Georgians to have new competitors now who are ahead of them which means they won't qualify for worlds this year.

Haha this music.

@elektra blue is no doubt asleep but I can still hear her suffering.

Ian has amazing feet. That spin ! WOW!

 

[moonvine]

I can't even with all this slow music guys come on...

I'm wondering if Kazakova / Revia are just not that good to be dropping placements, or is this Eteri's ploy to deny them world standing points, while propping up Davis / Smolkin?? Conspiracy?? Inquiring minds want to know... )

Have Davis/Smolkin even competed this year?

There's also an Olympic team medal possibility on the line. So yes, the timing for Kazakova / Revia was bad.

Bravo Celine good performance of the Brel song

More staring down of judges...I swear it is a required element...

yup.. they do challengers and win them with big scores...

Have Davis/Smolkin even competed this year?

They have! At the Denis Ten Trophy, which they won.

Have Davis/Smolkin even competed this year?

Yes, they did a couple of Challengers, most recently the Denis Ten Memorial.

This was cool to end this program on choreographic slide, very comparable to previous two teams. The lifts had issues though.

Yeah someone come out there and do the electric slide!

I'd feel sorry for them more if they were actually Georgian, rather than more Russians.

Well, with K/R I don't think the Georgian team would be competitive. With D/S, yes, they may be shooting for a medal but it will really depend on everyone on their team to skate perfectly : they have no depth no real strong contender ( I don't see Gubanova as strong as some fans see her).

It is already soooooo stale.

Hello lovelies. I'm here for the last group of dancers

There's really been so many judges pit stops this season ey... I don't actually mind it, it's just interesting that suddenly everyone is doing it this season in all disciplines (except pairs I think)

sure.. fair enough... but yeah.. they made their move a while ago

The French are moving on up!

Loving Logan's sparkles!

I think Ian is my favourite USA male dancer now with Vadym. I don't really care for either of their partners.
