2024 JGP Ljubljana Cup Free Dance

[labgoat]

I think they got more comfortable as this program progressed.
Their twizzles need a lot of work, but at least they didn't nearly collide like on warmup.

It is 1 pm here and I have been up since 4 am.
I am happily drinking hot apple cider and mini doughnuts

 

[labgoat]

Nice debut. I hope you enjoyed your time here and go home eager to work. You did fine.

Zofia & Oleg POL start very sharp on their tango. Very nice skating. This team is very stylish, excellent interpretation, maybe a bit slow but skills are solid. I am going to remember this team with excellent partnership and subtle accents.

 

[Jumping_Bean]

Zofia really is all legs She looks taller than 168 cm.
Good skate for them, they should be happy with that

 

[labgoat]

Mark says she reminds him of Jamie Silverstein. Ummm sort of, just subtler.

 

[labgoat]

Now Zoe & Pietro from ITA with La Cumparsita
Both only 15 - so very young.

 

[Jumping_Bean]

Welcome back RD theme 2022-23

 

[labgoat]

I'm good cause I love the Latin Dances, especially the compulsories

 

[labgoat]

Pietro is doing a very nice job partnering Zoe

So... I'm not quite recovered, I'm besieged with worries (Yuseong and Jaekeun's JGPF tickets, Ye's citizenship issues, my darling needing to win Asian Games gold to get exempt from military training (unless he manages to win an Olympic medal...), our senior women situation during pre-Olympic season...), but I've dragged myself here to finish the skating day

I'm glad you came to join us. You have a lot on your plate.
Maybe St. Lidwina, the Patron Saint of Figure Skating can help.

 

[labgoat]

So close. I would've had the Poles first, but the Italians were a bit faster.

 

[labgoat]

Go Canada! Go Aurea CINCON-DEBOUT / Earl Jesse CELESTINO!
Choreographed by Jean-Luc Baker - The Artist
He is such a natural. Aurea projects like Tessa Virtue.

 

[Ichatdelune]

They are charming and her Biellmann is beautiful, they just need to keep it together during the RD and their placements will skyrocket

So I looked St. Lidwina up, "She is the patroness saint of the town of Schiedam, of chronic pain, and of ice skating." according to Wikipedia. It's weird, they wrote the same thing twice after Schiedam

Reportedly during her convalescence she had a view of the local pond and watched the skaters for relief.

Interesting, according to my experience watching skating usually makes you feel worse

Yes sometimes it does. Right now I am not too heavily invested in many skaters. I like many but my favorites are near the end of their amateur careers - Hawayek/Baker & Chock & Bates. I root for many to do well, but am not as invested for my own safety although my baby dancers may suck me in - Leah & Artem and Hana & Daniil are capturing my heart. My sentimental favorites in singles give me heartburn. I said I would never love another baby pair team after Tai & Randy but Hansen & Church are wearing me down.
