GEORGIAN FED LADY IS SMILING?Maybe the Botox is wearing off
That wrapping on Anastasiia's shoulders is still making me nervous, especially considering her injury issues in the past. This team is so fast, and they really seemed into the program here. Their whole program flows together very well - the elements don't disrupt their speed at all. This was by far the most I've enjoyed this team and this program.

4. Anastasia VAIPAN-LAW / Luke DIGBY:flag_gb:
Lighthouse by Patrick Watson, choreo by Christopher Dean
3Tw3 (struggles to get free leg back on landing)
2A
4Li4
3STh (went nearly sideways, hangs on)
BoDs2
StSq3
CCoSp4 (very out of sync on sit/camel but regain unison at the end)
SP: 58.17 (3rd)
I am so excited for the Anastasia-and-Luke-aissance, they've improved so much! They've really worked on that twist, and they do have lower SBS BV but they do the 2As very well. This wasn't as strong as their first GP, but it was still a solid skate - I don't know how she managed to land that throw.

Another successful skate for the Brits showing very nice consistency. She has to have cat feet today for those landings. Unison not as good as usual, but still nice. Their skating shows nice power and interpretation. Always enjoyable to watch.

So literally nobody is going to do this for me but there is this anime called Nyaruko: Crawling With Love which anthropomorphizes the Great Old Ones into teenage girls, and the show has a very addictive opening song.... pretty please?

As it turns out, Ed Sheeran screaming "GIVE ME LOVE" is almost as bad at 3 pm as it is at 3 am

BoDs3
4Li4
StSq3
CCoSp (very out of sync on change of and sit positions)

This was a very nice program from Daria and Michel - I especially loved her choreographic conviction in the step sequence. Those SBS spins at the end were rough though.
