2024 JGP Bangkok Free Dance

Again, likeable team but not into the program. Believer is short material, not a free, and the cover they used was so, so, so, one note...

I remember Dania & Theo from last year. She is such a boss and they are very promising.

I really like them. It's hard to believe that they are so young.

As you say, she is such a character.

Don't like this epic version of "Believer". Slowing it down has lost the whole feeling of the song.

The costumes are gorgeous. And the skating was too!

Into the lead of both FS and overall.

I think this program can move Chloe & Brendan ahead of the Peals because of it’s beautiful flow

Right, I'm going to have to take a short break for at most 10 minutes. But, I've just paused it, and will play catch-up straight away.

EDIT: Hmph! It turned into nearly 20 minutes, because I was rushing to get back to the skating, and made a mistake in what I was doing. ​

That dress is a gorgeous color

Confused by this. @balabam might say you can drink Margaritas while watching the beautiful art of figure skating? I really enjoy your insightful GS posts. Please give your choices a wider view.

I can't watch figure skating and comment here when I'm out at a bar, also figure skating is pain and I wouldn't be able to enjoy the Margaritas if I'm watching. Balabam might say alcohol enhances your experience, well alcohol is a downer for me and if I'm getting drunk then it's going to be even more painful. Maybe if things were beautiful I'd get a few cocktails in, not to get drunk but to celebrate, but as things are right now no celebratory drinks are called for. I just want to not be in pain, is what I'm trying to say.

They could've done better than Harry Styles and I honestly think Maddie and Namu got a better FD, I would love to know what Wing and Lowe had in mind with this cookie cutter dance...

I preferred the Canadian team - too bad they had a fall yesterday. This did not flow as nicely and did not have the same effortless quality. It was a nice dance and showed off their power and difficult lifts.

Hana has so much poise and presence for a 14 year old. This dance is so lovely.

 

[Ichatdelune]

Clunky straightline lift, lackluster choreo, and unattractive dress. Seojin's Pearl Harbor was much better even when she was rarely clean with it

You all (including me) have forgotten that Junior Ice Dance is at the end also Ice Dance, and politics do still matter. Less than in Seniors, but that's not hard.

I knew I would have to stan them when I heard that she has a background in ballet and rhythmic gymnastics, and this program definitely shows her lines off so well.

Aboian/Veselukhin have a good FD, definitely one of the top junior FDs of the season. Let's see if they keep this up

Hannah Lim also did RG when she was little, do you stan Lim/Quan too?

Apologies for misinterpreting your initial post. Meant to convey support to you despite my clumsy reply regarding alcohol. Best wishes that you feel well and enjoy watching figure skating.

I don't think a good mood and figure skating are compatible for 9 out of 10 times but thank you very much for your kind words

While I still like Signorina Tali and am happy for her success I do wish that she got her success with better programs, I think the programs she had with Stefano Frasca were better... (Noah Lafornara is fine btw purely discussing programs here)

 

[zebobes]

The US top two junior ID teams are clearly the Mullens and A/V. I think it's so crazy that a brand new team can appear seemingly out of nowhere and ascend to Silver in their first season, with Hannah being only 14 years old.

Does anyone not? I feel like they're one of the most popular teams currently

It's different for everyone. I think not being too invested in any particular skaters, being open to different things/styles etc., not being too conservative and accepting this sport for what it is (not what it should be in each person's mind) are the keys to the enjoyment. But I know that it's more easily said than done.
