[CaroLiza_fan]

Simon before they started "You can't get enough of Ricky".

This season, yes you can. But, at least they are the first tonight.

Twizzles at start loooked great.

Is it just me, or is there not the same energy that there normally is? They look very cautious.

Louise agrees. After the Twizzles, she commented about them being slow.

But the smiles of them after they finished!

Hey, Louise, quit being so defeatist! They are good enough to get well up in the standings!

Sara greeting them at the boards.

Oh, it's just Sara sitting with them. I though Kirill would be there too.

Sara looking very nervous. Sofía and Asaf looking happy.

They go into the lead. Obviously.

WELL DONE SOFÍA AND ASAF!!!

Draws within the groups determined by world ranking

They are skating to something different, but they look slow, particular in the twizzles. Their strenght are really their lifts.

The Chinese skaters look happy to be here, that's nice to see.

Here to cheer on Phebe and James, amongst others.

Looking forward to watching this with you all.

MiStW1+MiStM1
PSt2
ChRS1 +1.93
RoLi4

RD: 64.76 (2nd)

Ever since Chinese Nebelhorn, this team has really struggled a lot. Their twizzles were really messy tonight and they were quite slow and stiff on the PSt. The music is fun, and I really appreciate the variety and unique choreo, but I don't know if they quite skated up to the energy and intensity it demands tonight.

I don't enjoy this team but do enjoy this music a lot.

I found their music a nice change of pace too.

we're all thinking of getting drunk and it's not my fault this time

I can't take ice dancing judging sober

 

[moonvine]

I copied Jackie Wong's Olympic skate calendar onto my Google calendar, which automatically synced to any time zone.... Yet I somehow still missed the start time

Sounds like something I would fo

How have they fallen so far in world rankings?

i can't take life sober

I personally would also have them second, but a bit surprised the judges agreed.
