Not a bad score for Lala

Basically a tie between the Canadians.

 

[YuBluByMe]

They edged out Gilles/Poirier.

 

[4everchan]

GOEs weren’t that high as in previous comps though :-(

i guess some judges were protecting the hierarchy
the PCS were not great either...mid 8s

 

[Ares]

Lajoie/Lagha beat Gilles/Poirier by less than 1 point total. Good for them, they have some non-zero chance for getting on the podium now

 

[4everchan]

Speak your mind Mark.

 

[Weathergal]

I thought Lajoie and Lagha performed this FD better in China, but that was still a great skate.

Mark Hanretty said the same.

 

[auser]

Scores between LaLa and G/P so close. Really enjoying this FD so far.

i'm back

 

[Ares]

The new costumes of Guignard/Fabbri count as an improvement for me ...

 

[4everchan]

Lajoie/Lagha were very good too, but Lopareva/Brissaud definitely had more speed. Not a fan of the music choice, so cliched - they deserve something more original. I much preferred their previous FDs due to that alone.

I haven't seen this year's FD but I can tell you that they are deceptively fast from last year's worlds... it is very striking when they skate to slow music because they achieve speed with this very quiet flow. they cover the ice very quickly. I will not see L/B this year but will go to Canadian Nationals next month... will report on the speed.

all of it, dear...but the question is, do you still have one?

 

[IceDancingQueen]

I think my issue with G/F is that none of their programmes feel original this year. They use a similar slide in their RD that P2 used last year and their robot FD is a ripoff of C/B’s alien programme…sorry!

 

[Seven Sisters]

I know few pay attention to Evan’s costumes But, is this new?

let me be the judge of that

Totally agree- they are very fast when you see them live

I was wondering if Madi’s dress is slightly different too? It seems more sparkly?

 

[CellarDweller]

I'm proud of Evan for finding a costume in his closet that isn't the suit he normally wears into the office.
