Love that spiral lift - very eyecatching

 

[Ichatdelune]

Hannah and Ye can basically sell me anything because I love them but Hannah literally took my breath away during the choreo steps, wow girl... I'm sad that they had to WD from Asian Games selections, now I have to wait until the Ranking Competition to see this live

I think it´s pretty and unique so worthy a award but maybe not WTF

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

Hanna, are you the bride of Frankenstein?

No, she's the Wish Child from an episode of "MacGyver" that I watched last week:

In all seriousness, if you are going to do a Cruella de Vil programme, you need to have more obvious references to dalmatians and furs. You have to look really closely to see that part of Hannah's dress is spotty.

But, the skating was good.

They go into 2nd in the FS, and the lead overall.

[elektra blue]

My exact sentiments

ok it's a nay

 

[Ichatdelune]

Hmm... I'll need to see protocols, those dropped levels weren't raised after the review I guess...

 

[labgoat]

I had figured the Browns would rise in the RD as they are both musically trained and have an edge for the quickness and sharpness needed for the RD theme. The CZE teams are fast but not necessarily quick and precise for the Paso Doble. The FD rankings will give us an idea of what the judges think.

 

[elektra blue]

low levels for the Mrazeks too...and i'm going to miss the end of the event. see you in Ljubljana

 

[labgoat]

Another beautiful, dramatic story program for Mrazkova/Mrazek that was gorgeously skated. I don't know what the music is so cannot comment further on the theme. Nice use of the turtle lift borrowed from Gilles/Poirier.

see you there soon...

 

[norwegianfairytale]

Do they use the same costume maker as the Taschlers?

 

[Ichatdelune]

Hmm so the Mrazkovi are still using Piper and Paul's lift

Her twizzles are not twizzling again, pity

Do we have to do those acrobatics right in front of the judges...

I like their RD better, which is unexpected considering the dumpster fire of a theme given for it

 

[labgoat]

I think the judges are being very careful and scrutinizing these skaters for levels so as to compare them properly. I expect long reviews for all these teams and actually think I appreciate them taking the time to examine them carefully. The feedback will be good for all the teams as they move forward this season and help them focus their efforts on improvements.

 

[labgoat]

Do they use the same costume maker as the Taschlers?

Probably - they are both beautiful

 

[labgoat]

Go Oona & Gage! Power to the shorter people.
