For me, Evgeniia and Geoffrey represent a step up in skating quality from what we've had so far, they're very fast and have great attack, but also have more intricate choreography and holds in this program. That serpentine step was sublime, fantastic flow and they generate speed from one push. Their lifts are also great, that curve-curve lift has such effortless change of position.

He is slightly wooden but strong technically and frames her well. Another pair on upwards trajectory halted a bit by F/C

 

[tulosai]

Really beautiful skate Some amazing entries to elements, really fluid. I loved watching them.

 

[bramweld]

Were my Frenchies nervy? Classic underpinning without pointed toes?

 

[Karoltyna]

I can't get used to idea of them and this FD...

 

[Paulipau]

THE reason my Olympic spectator dreams have been put on hold

Yea i was one cheap flight away so I went to team event.

That was nice, but I thought it was better skated at Europeans, where ironically enough, they were pristine clean and were dumped in favor of a very flawed skate by F/G for bronze.

Evgeniia/Geoffrey. Great outfits, her dress is beautiful. Wonderful program and skate.

 

[16Olympics]

I'm not happy with LaLa's scores, either. Always underrated but it is what it is...

 

[auser]

Love watching LOPAREVA Evgeniia / BRISSAUD Geoffrey's interesting moves and style.

 

[Olibritt]

Evgeniia & Geoffrey, I never get their musics but I like them so much on the ice, that I don´t really care.

I unfortunately always wonder a little if the judges would be slightly kinder to them if she changed her hair. I feel like the bias for a traditional look is sadly still alive and well.

It’s just red hair?

 

[Ruthypegs]

Gold medal for Evgenia's hair

No I love her hair!

But she looks so good with it.
I adore short hair on women, but I wear mine long because short hair doesn't go at all with my face structure.

 

[16Olympics]

Happy for Christina and Anthony for their wonderful performance. So much to look forward to.

 

[Demandred]

Really good skate by the French, the twizzles were very impressive, such a difficult entry and they were so close at the end.

Everyone in this group has delivered.

 

[tulosai]

It’s just red hair?

It's not a 'natural' red color.

I want to be clear I don't agree with the bias if any against it. I like her hair. But I think it's not outside the realm of possibility that some of the old school judges have a bias, conscious or unconscious, against it.
