2023 NHK Trophy Rhythm Dance

And here comes the second group! Damn, I need some vino, but I have a rule about not drinking before 6pm (5pm now).

Your welcome to borrow my holiday and timezone(just past 8 pm here). Happy to share my wine too.

Is that how it works? I enjoy both teams so it's a win-win!

If T/V or R/A come first, they will have first and third and be ahead of La/La with two seconds.

There are actually two kinds of twizzles, synchronized and sequential. In the synchronized, they do a couple of steps and touch between the first and second twizzle. That may be the difference.

you beat me to it

re: French

this is so white

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.

I'll have to save the vino for the men's SP. It's going to be a long night!

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Because you support them or for some other reason like another team qualifying for the gpf?

I support them

Allô Théo

I liked French music choice quite a bit...a nice departure from another warmed over Prince program. You know the North American teams are all too scared and/or woke to try music like this.

 

[4everchan]

incredible how the GOE just instantly rise after a 5-6 minute warm up.

It's almost as crazy as inflation on gas

Loicia and Theo have absolutely amazing choreography. The only team with a comparably good set of programs this year is Gilles and Poirier, and it's a travesty that these French skaters have no chance of competing with the Lithuanian and UK teams instead of likely finishing fifth here.

 

[Sai Bon]

Wow, that was really good from the French team!

 

[Rebecca Moose]

I get all tingly whenever Ted proudly says "progress made"

 

[4everchan]

Théo offered the cheek for a kiss. because you know... he is mine haha... i need to eat something soon.

not dumb.

SQ twizzles (sequential) in the rd

SY twizzles in the fd

they have different features, for instance in the SQ they cannot touch after the first set

Thank you both!! That makes sense now

 

[Sai Bon]

I like Saulius and Alison's music much better than some of the others with abrupt cuts. Much more coherent as a theme and program (I'm not a fan of Guns and Roses, but still).
ETA: It was pretty cool technically as well.

 

[Weathergal]

Crazy music mix from the French but great skate!

 

[Rebecca Moose]

Lithuanians were kinda white trash. I loved it.

 

[Weathergal]

Loved the rock 'n roll. Great program. I like this team. They often have interesting choices.

 

[jgg220]

The Lithuanians remind me of Hubbell and Donahue with slightly more tasteful music and costume choices.
