2026 Olympics: Free Dance

[Princessroja]

I know most people aren't a fan of these long skirts and no doubt they are a risk/safety hazard, but I have to say they can really add to the feel and anesthetics of the performance when well utilized.

I really enjoyed the skirt, though I have to say the bit where she lifted it way up and there was a massive wedgie underneath was a bit awkward.

Went to Euros, on OP day they are not withdrawn yet but only Katerina is on the ice, she does the RT partnered with her skirt, later they WD

Oh, wow. Good for her for doing that, I'm glad he's better now

I just can't get into the Mrazeks.
Her upper body posture is really egregious.
Carol is impressed by their one foot section ice coverage and their speed and power and ability to turn so effortlessly in both directions.
However I found that she kinda muscled and aggressively made her way through that skate.
I think this material really doesn't suit her.

I checked, it is not the same skirt she had 2023 but skirt is quite similar.

 

[flanker]

Opened the dance just for Mrázkovi, kinda good.

 

[Ares]

Really like these two.

And I remember really loving to dance to Malagueña as a kid I was adding "double toeloops" even to my improvised routines as a result of my fascination with figure skating

Judges not really went with the GOEs for them, interesting. I think their material this year is questionable. Both styles (Rd and the free) actually suit them pretty well bet the programs are not choreographed and constructed to their advantage, they loose points instead of gaining them. It's a coaching team's failure imo, cause they are truly strong skaters.

 

[Demandred]

Not quite their best from the Mrazeks IMO. And one of the lift was only Level 3, pretty rare at this level of competition. I find the skirt distracting.

 

[Sabsi]

Phebe looks stunning

Precisely. Coaching change incoming.

I agree, they're visually very striking (in many ways) but don't yet have finer nyances down required for this.
But I think they will eventually pass the other Czechs.

In the famous words of @elektra blue:

Olè!

Is she not here with us tonight?

I agree with Louise. It's a beautiful dress that Katerina is wearing, but it's rather distracting. You're worried about it getting caught on something.

But, they were good.

Penny Coombes / Nick Buckland with them.

They go into the lead of both the FD and overall.

Our second R&J, but this time Romeo is to @4everchan's liking

 

[bramweld]

Their Bond program was smashing, but I'll give this one a chance.

 

[chepe]

James used to date my Queen Gracie.

Okay, I can see it would be hard to upgrade from there.

 

[ruffledgrouse]

Voice over automatically loses Battle of the R/Js

 

[norwegianfairytale]

They were better at the Euros. But they will place higher in the next Olympics. Much, much higher...

And before that, there is EC in Sweden in 2028 I can´t wait for the home cooking....

 

[bramweld]

This genre doesn't suit them.

 

[Ichatdelune]

Automatic -5 GOE for Kissing You, sorry B/H I like you two but this is an egregious sin

If it involves brown cheese on pizza, I'd rather not.
