2025 Skate Canada Rhythm Dance

[moonvine]

Not many stuffies. I think I threw more than this at Texas Trophy.

 

[Ruthypegs]

“I’m too sexy”
Yes… Saulius!!! It is true… you are

I think this might be my favourite RD of the season!! Amazing

Mine, too - I love this RD and they skate it so well!

 

[labgoat]

LaLa! They skated with more abandonment than usual. I think LAJ skated really well.

Should be in 2nd. Hopefully, close to 80.
Zach is a perfectionist

Relative to LTU, 80 seems too high

 

[RatedPG]

Phew!! If they got zeroes in the twizzles, I’d be in tears

 

[Demandred]

This was so good until the last element, fun, great speed and flow, they were getting high GoE, such a shame they couldn't go clean.

That's because it's not Bon Jovi music! It's AI music done in his style, look closely:

5. Katerina MRAZKOVA & Daniel MRAZEK CZE
RD: "One Two" by AI (of 90s style Bon Jovi); "Thunderstruck" by AC/DC, choreo by Matteo Zanni, Denis Lodola, Garett Smith

There aren't words to describe how much I hate the idea of using music created by AI.

 

[4everchan]

I just want to swear in Québécois.

Ugh. Why use AI?

 

[cheerknithanson]

Did Christina get her citizenship yet?

 

[norwegianfairytale]

5 points behind the Lithunians... that is going to be hard make up for in the free. So unfortunate

 

[Ziotic]

I’m devastated

 

[CellarDweller]

more La Bouche!

 

[museksk8r]

Christina and Anthony are not selling me on this program with their musical interpretation. The choreography looks thrown away to me and some of their elements appear sluggish to me.

 

[Seven Sisters]

That did not look like a cheerleader's outfit lol.

She has the cheerleader vibe down pat though!
Including the beaming smile in the KnC, while Zach sits morosely beside her

 

[Isk]

Careeira and Ponomarenko are too serious for this event.

 

[labgoat]

Carrreira & Ponomarenko had to redo their RD due to a music problem and this one has gotten off to a slow start. It looks a bit rushed here and the costumes used are a bit generic. The 100% Pure Love part works the best for me - it seems the most them.

 

[4everchan]

I like CP but this RD is not doing it for me

9. Christina CARREIRA &Anthony PONOMARENKO USA
RD: "Sweet Dreams" by La Bouche & Paolo Pellegrino, Robert Haynes, M. Sonmez, Gerd Amir Saraf, Melanie Thornton; "Sweet Dreams" by La Bouche, Robert Haynes, M. Sonmez, Gerd Amir Saraf, Melanie Thornton; "100% Pure Love" by Crystal Waters, Basement Boys, choreo by Scott Moir, Madison Hubbell, Adrian Diaz, Marie-France Dubreuil

SqTwW4 + SqTwM4 (a bit off-sync, Anthony checks on second set)
MiStW3 + MiStM2
RoLi4
PSt2
ChRS1

RD: 76.83 (2nd)

This program just seemed a little tight and slow from Anthony and Christina, it wasn't bad but I've seen them skate stronger. The program is good, but I definitely prefer the Sweet Dreams sections. The second half is a bit monotonous and the rotational lift was really slow on the exit, and they were just a bit stiff in the knees.

As a lifetime resident of the U.S., I feel obligated to say that all three American teams here have rhythm dances that I find intolerable, even though I like most of their music selections.

 

[cheerknithanson]

I'm telling y'all, it's a crime no one selected a Hanson song for the RD this season.
