Sorry couldn't help it...

Side note: I cannot WAIT for the new movie!

Can someone loan Katya something so she doesn't freeze to death out there on the ice?

Don't worry she'll get one of those pull away pants. But seriously, I think they will change the costume. It's a stretch even for an exhibition but for competition with little kids in the audience at Skate America?, it just looks like she's dancing in her underpants. But with Zhulin who knows. Looking forward to Saturday

I'm a big fan of B/S and very happy they are back. However, if that is it, I'd be rather disappointed, as I know they can do a lot better. As for the costumes: Seriously? No, way. I don't mind what she is wearing, but these two outfits won't match in a million years.
Looking forward to the real test. :clapper:

No, stretch was when one of the pair (I think) athletes skated half-naked at exhibitions (no t-shirt even), he was black, I don't remember the country he was representing. That was too much for me to take, I had children in my mind all the way through.

So Katya has a new dress for SD a small black one

And very beautiful one, that is. :luv17:

Someone's credibility as insider seriously went down

By the way, even on this crappy Periscope translation I liked the dance better than in the previous video. But... but the music...:noshake::noshake::noshake:

Yeah me too, but then again, this year's SD theme is just frankly boring IMO

[TheGothicEme]

it's been ages since they last had a lyrical programme :luv17: this somehow reminds me of Melodies of the White Nights.

Where can I find the video? Was it good?

You'll have to wait a bit longer for quality vids.

Yeah, I can barely see anything. But their skating is poweful as always, that's for sure. Strong and confident.

the last minute though that's Vivaldi's winter right? Is this Bird FD part two?
even the lift in the end looks like Domnina Tikhonov's Bird too :shocked:

OMG, I thought of Birds too with that ending. lol

Bird the upgrade version certainly this looks better than original Bird I guess.

Well at least she didn't die with Dmitri doing that ending pose/scream again

There's some spaces where clearly should be transitions and even elements, there was also only one Choreographic element instead of two, curve lift wasn't smooth enough because they didn't have enough speed to finish it smoothly, and they seriously slowed down on the diagonal step sequence. I don't think it was because of tiredness though, they probably didn't practice final 1.30 minutes enough.
Overall it's a solid well-calculated dance with some interesting choreography, and it will be scored very high when skated clean. And they use new lifts, except that straigh line one.

P.S. I'm not going to comment on music, but I would prefer them to change the connection between two pieces. it's not smooth at all

 

[TheGothicEme]

As for me, I really want to know the storyline of the dance. Now I will just call it Bird II

The received positive feedback from the Fed for both dances
