2025 Skate Canada Free Dance

That was good but maybe a bit sloppy? That’s the kind of aggression and flow Chock and Bates need for their FD.

I enjoyed that, but I would have enjoyed it more if they had better posture.

Long flamenco skirts are not flattering with today's rotational lifts.
They are better suited to the upright pattern dances.

I found the skirt more distraction than highlight. Didn't like the choreo slide move — her position reaching for the ice isn't attractive. The judges had a full score card before their choreo section at the end was even halfway through?

Loved seeing the Mrazkovi taking things up a notch at the end-- and relieved that Mrazkova didn't trip on her skirt, @lariko wasn't joking about its length!

Funny how people think IAM teams are all the same, yet the two teams doing Flamenco are not IAM

That was intense. I think this style suit them but I would change the chore slide, it was weird and looked like mistake imo.

Kudos to Daniel for being able to see with Katerina's big skirt swirling around his head during the lifts and also for his strength during the spread eagle curve lift. Like their speed.

It was constantly covering his face in the lifts.

I'd put them below Lauriault Le Gas and Lim and Quan.

but it won't happen.

The dress was a supporting character in that skate. I got flashbacks from JGPF a few years when they fell because the dress was too long. Great performance though. They are one of my favorite teams.

Re: Katerina's skirt. As was just mentioned, it's one layer, not two. Either a high quality polyester or silk, so great drape and fluidity. Also, it appears to not be a circle skirt, but pieces that are cut narrower at the hip and wider at the hem, which results in a more attractive shape in motion. In short, kudos to their costume designer. Katerina tamed the skirt, the skirt did not tame her.

and now for something entirely different

I feel the ending of this music is a bit bombastic - like hitting a metal garbage can with a rubber mallet over and over again.

That said, the intensity of this music suits their skating. Sibling aggression is a great description

Beautiful costumes for Lajoie / Lagha

 

[YuBluByMe]

Oh my god. SERIOUSLY??! I least they’re wearing white.

 

[niks]

I say this in jest, but I feel like Katerina is punking us with her extreme skirt lengths.

I just loved that red skirt Best part of their entire program, it actually has more character than them to perform that music

She is way over the top in her performance, he is better. And they need to scrap the part where he grabs her by the leg and pulls her across the ice, looks really bad.

Two points of deduction?
