See you all for the women!what time are the women are ? i need to schedule quite a few things in order to be fully committed to more figure skating.
Arts & crafts(But also… WHAT is she wearing?? It’s like a graffiti spray paint nightmare)
So happy Allison and Saulius have been having medal winning dances recently!Oooo that's so close! The Brits could still win this. Nice.
Highlight for me was how much fun Allison Reid looked to be having in the hydroblade movement.
I did hope he would learn something from Mark. But alas, it sounds like no., Ted has no business in talking during the performance, and no business commenting dance, which he freely admits is not his specialty.
I think many people like the story of "strong guy lugs around weak women" - you see the same story with Diana and Gleb. The difference has always been exaggerated - Lewis is slightly faster, has slightly deeper edges, and slightly neater footwork, and slightly better extension. He is not Guillaume Cizeron skating with a random girl off the street like people seem to pretend.I think Fear has improved quite a bit...it's no longer jarring how much worse her basics are.
I haven't examined the Pattern Step, but Marco made quite a bad twizzle error in the midline, costing the level 3 I think. Honestly I prefered the jump into the back outside twizzle at the start of the season (they handle it better with speed/rapidity) than the step into forward inside. I feel the forward inside can get a little clumsy.wow... lower levels than expected for the Italians
They are expected to comment in the senior GP. As he is responsible for the junior GP streams, he has more freedom to do what he wants so chooses not to talk.And also, Ted has no business in talking during the performance, and no business commenting dance, which he freely admits is not his specialty.
Mark talks during the skating as well. It's part of the job description. He doesn't know much about Pairs but still is required to do so.I did hope he would learn something from Mark. But alas, it sounds like no.
I think it's reasonable to expect the ISU to invite somebody previously competed in the discipline to co-commentate. Like the expert that the commentator can question with certain things. Mark and Ted doing commentary with certain disciplines falls short for me, although they do both provide easy, accessible general commentary.Mark talks during the skating as well.

I think as well in ice dance, many people sit there thinking "what the hell do all these letters mean, and why is the GOE so high" or "those turns all looked great, why is it only level 1." Without looking at scales of value, its difficult to understand the score system, and without an ID background or knowledge its hard to understand the standard for turn cleanliness.I don't think I've ever learned anything from Mark and there is a lot I could use to know.
GF could win this. I think it is kind of clear RA are going to get bronze here and win a spot I believe to the finals?and if GF came third. GF first or second is fine... as it would push FG in third if TV or RA came first... so that still would work.
It's hard to know who the judges prefer until they are at the same competition. Even then, there can be wild variance depending on what panel is put forward. Ice dance has a tendency to use ranked scoring with GOE/PCS rather than objective scoring. Japan historically loves Lilah and Lewis, so I wouldn't say you can compare their NHK scores to FB/S. That being said, I do think the current trend would prefer F/G to FB/S (Partly because of stupid scoring at last GP to keep C/B in 1st place). Difficult to know though - the one thing I'll say is that no team can afford mistakes at GPF, because there is no clear leader this year.I think the take a way from the ID so far is Chock and Bates are struggling a bit just like last year - and then they got those amazing, generous inflated marks at worlds like they were PC or VM. So don't count them out especially since the judges don't seem to fully embrace Piper and Paul and the Italians are wonderful technicians but a bit boring/bland. If the teams are going to dump Piper and Paul or the Italians from podium I would say Fear and Gibson seem to be chosen over the Danadians. I would have expected at least two americans in the GP finals but I don't think that will happen. Canada will have three I believe, then the Italians, Fear and Gibson and then I am guessing here Allison's team (I can't remember what country she skates for )
I don't understand this common refrain that judges have 'dumped' Gilles and Poirier at end of the last couple of seasons. It's pretty obvious that they didn't perform as well at the end of those seasons and/or made mistakes, while their near rivals did better and peaked at the right time. If they skated as well as they had on the grand prix, then they would've scored better.I think the take a way from the ID so far is Chock and Bates are struggling a bit just like last year - and then they got those amazing, generous inflated marks at worlds like they were PC or VM.
