Daria DANILOVA / Michel TSIBA NED
SP: "Take Back the Power" by Raury
Dressed in basic black bodysuits with sequins.
Their twist is big and controlled. He singles out of the salchow. Clean landing on the throw. Kind of a cha cha version of I've got the Power.

Anastasiia METELKINA / Luka BERULAVA GEO
SP: "Bolero" (Excerpt) by Miloš Karadaglić
She in red and black with silver beading and a jewelled tiara like headpiece for her.
She is such a diva as her name is announced! She starts in a headstand
All the elements done to their usual standard. They only thing I question is the exit out of the death spiral. Very well done elements without the camp - they are serious today. Nice original take on Bolero.

Wow, YumaSumi are getting better and better and they are freaking fast! Triple twist is getting stabilized, throw looked big and confident, their elements really have no weaknesses at this point, huge potential there.

They are very consistent, not only with the elements, but also with the terrible costumes

RikuRyu were amazing, love this program

Oh I missed Max Fernandez doubling the 3T cause I was watching Val - hers was great.
Still welcome back. First pancake done.

 

[cocteautwin]

I always thought Anastasia and Luka should skate to Dracula cause his giving such a count Dracula vibe. I'm not saying it in a mean way, I truly think it would be good vehicle for them as they really struggle to find their style.

They are one of my top bets for an Olympic spot at the qualifier!

Isabella GAMEZ & Aleksandr KOROVIN. PHI
SP: "November" by Max Richter; choreo by Sofia Evdokimova
They are wearing grey costumes and get a very warm welcome.
They look very sad and there is a lot of red on the board, no major misses.

I haven’t seen their video but it looks like they messed up the twist which is their best element. Hopefully in the FS they can show more of what they’ve been working on this summer.

 

[cocteautwin]

Did Korovin ever look at Isabela during their entire partnership? He should get some special award for the least comitted skater. They are a team but he always skates as he was there alone. I don't like this vibe, it's very distracting.

Videos were fine with one short buffering in second group. Odd that my computer made me download the entire MP4 for Group one...no problem...just took a bit of time. I have no explaination as to why the video quality from my lap top to my big screen looked just fine....
