2025 Cup of China Rhythm Dance

TBH they always look slow in streams, maybe watching them live is different?

I think it's the opposite actually. Most knowledgeable dance fans who see them live note that their lack of speed is even more noticeable. I think that's what makes some of their wins maddening for a lot of people - their ice coverage, pattern size, and speed are often noticeably weaker than other top teams, and at times it seemed like they were winning more based on Madison's charisma then anything else...

it's very possible, I'm just trying to find a rationale with their scoring and hyping

Politicking...?

I agree, Lopareva seemed almost like she was unsure of the choreo at times, hesitant. Did the return of Laurence and Guillaume throw them off that much? I love them though.

I have not watched Cup of China yet but I'm definitely hoping L/B come into their own this season. I would be annoyed if Laurence and Guillaume were sapping their confidence... They are bringing their own style, different from all others and I'm here for it!
