Here I am...Chris, "stand them in good stead?" You're not Dick Button.

Nice choreo slide move

I'm biased towards this team because I love the music choice and Masaya's facial expression, and I know Azusa isn't 100%, but I think of the two teams UtaMasa have the better grasp of what ice dance is vs single skating

Yes, but to be fair to AzuShin they have been single skaters for longer than UtaMasa. UtaMasa are definitely superior as a team right now, nobody's doubting that, but as someone who is a bit more biased towards AzuShin I say give AzuShin more time to heal and to settle as an ice dance team

Music to go and make coffee and snacks to.

Allez Marie & Thomas!!!!!!!

This French team has excellent choreography but I'm hoping she rips off his fake mustache in the ending pose.

It's fake??

I'm just here being nervous for pairs.

 

[readernick]

Agree with Chris here, the choreo was fascinating. They seem a bit slow across the ice and perhaps they could push the performance , but everything they do is interesting.

I liked it Marie and Thomas FD, was nice and it seem like lo-fi music too, ones of my favorites!!!

i really like the two. nice choreo slide move. combo lift was laboured and the wizzles were certainly in different time zones by the end of the first ones but they kept calm

 

[Dawn825]

I like this french team, I want to see more of them

 

[Ichatdelune]

The thing about Dupayage/Nabais is that while Mme. Arribert-Narce doesn't give them bad programs she gives them programs that are pretty much similar in vibe every time, I want to see them go outside of that box

 

[auser]

Yeah, there was a lot of details , like a ballet choreographer helped with dress and some details more like corporal expression too, a great job!!!

I was so entranced with her dress it was taking my attention from their dancing.

 

[tsuyoboogie]

Go Pirihara!!!

 

[Weathergal]

I didn't realize this comp started at 10:00 my time instead of 10:30. At least I didn't miss the Finns.

 

[4everchan]

It's fake??

no. it's even sexy

 

[moonvine]

What's the deal with the towels, are they because no stuffies?

 

[anonymoose_au]

Juho's pants are amazing...

I feel like they should be doing the Adam's Family.

 

[TallyT]

What in the name of all that is unholy is he wearing and why do their costumes appear to have been bought on different planets???
