2025 JGP Baku Rhythm Dance

I thought their names sounds rather unSwedish...

Lotta pink there!

They are one of many Canadian partnerships that have switched to other countries.

Anna's Mum is Swedish.

Hahaha I love this song so much.

Badly dances to it.

Love her very late 80s-early 90s hair, I had a perm like that for years. Took three hours at the hairdresser before I wised up and gave up my one shot at being semi-trendy.

And the headband is also on point (I wore that kind in high school)

The boards behaved themselves today I'm not that big of a fan of this RD (especially compared to their FD), but they're really good skaters.

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

And people wonder why I strongly believe skaters shouldn't be allowed to wear jewellery.

It's a very good job Mark spotted that necklace lying on the ice. It could have caused a major incident.

Well done!

I wonder who the necklace belongs to, and how long it had been there. If it is claimed, can the owner's partnership be retrospectively punished?

Another one of Dostatni's US woman + Russian man teams. I guess I'll keep my tongue about whatever is happening in that coaching group, and just say that that was a pretty solid skate.

 

[TallyT]

Is it my imagination or is there a really distracting echo in the rink?

 

[Karoltyna]

golden glove is literally hurting my eyes when it flashes...

Yes, why is it there? And this music is very very dreary.

 

[anonymoose_au]

Triplets! Wow how neat!

 

[Jumping_Bean]

Oh, they're not twins, they're triplets?
That makes it at least three active (?) ice dance teams with at least one partner being a triplet (two of them are sibling teams).

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

My Mum popped in when Claudia and Marco were getting into position, and I used the running joke we had a few weeks ago:

"What is it about twins dressing the same?"

And she dryly replied "He's not wearing a skirt".



Ah, so they are triplets! There is another girl.

I wonder if she skates at all.

They go into 8th position.

[CaroLiza_fan]

All this talk about twins and triplets started me thinking.

Apologies if I have missed any out, but I think that 6 of my kids are twins.

There are two sets of identical twins, and in both cases both of the girls skated.

There are two sets of non-identical twins, and in both cases the girl skated while the boy didn't.

As it stands, three of them are currently active. But not in Ice Dance. Two are in Pairs, and one is in Singles.

Now these costumes put me strongly in mind of a Fantasy on Ice creation a few years back....

 

[cocteautwin]

I like this cousin team a lot! Technically not the best but they really seem to actually authentically feel the vibe of their program.

 

[cocteautwin]

Thank you Sofia and Max for you music choice

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

Ach, what is this awful re-mix of the "Macarena" being played during the replays of Summer HOMICK / Nicholas BUELOW (CAN)?!

You can't do the actions to it properly!

Yes, I was trying!

I have noticed that a lot of the incidental music is 80s, they had Boney M (as if we didn't have enough of that last year) earlier.

 

[Jumping_Bean]

I had a feeling this team would be quite good, but I did not think they'd be this good technically. Really happy for Zoe (and Daniel)
