Figure skating association game

[Seven Sisters]

Allison Reed is still going strong, too, with partner Saulius Ambrulevicius,

Though they were unable to skate at the Olympics due to her citizenship issues, I’m looking forward to seeing them at Worlds this month.

Drobiazgo & Vanagas skated for Lithuania.

And they were awesome. One of my all-time favorite teams, who never got the love they deserved from the judges. Wuzrobbed, many times over!

^ I loved their compulsory dance @ 2003 Worlds (Handel music, IIRC). We were there in person, and that CD really stood out!

 

[skylark]

Drobiazgo & Vanagas skated to 'Phantom of the Opera.'

 

[iluvtodd]

Patrick Chan skated to POTO, too.

 

[skylark]

Meryl Davis and Charlie White - their POTO is absolutely one of my favorites!

 

[iluvtodd]

Meryl & Charlie - Samson & Delilah (my personal favorite free dance of theirs)

 

[Seven Sisters]

Meryl & Charlie’s Eleanor Rigby FD the prior season, which caused me to fall in love with them

(Still one of my favorite programs of theirs—highly recommended to those who believe that they lacked connection to each other)

 

[iluvtodd]

I think we were lucky enough to see them skate to the Eleanor Rigby free dance @ 2007 Skate America in Reading, PA! That was the first time we saw them skate in person!

Meryl & Charlie skated to music from "My Fair Lady."

Meryl & Charlie skated to "Die Fledermaus"

 

[iluvtodd]

Jenny Kirk skated to "Die Fledermaus" @ 2003 Skate America (in Reading, PA - we were SO lucky to be there)!

Jenny Kirk skated to "Chicago"

 

[iluvtodd]

Gracie Gold skated to music from "Chicago" ("All That Jazz," IIRC)

SevenSisters my dear, I'm not well versed in searching such. If you'll name a team who skated to "Cell Block Tango," then I can advance the game by saying something else that team skated to, or by associating that team with a coach. Otherwise .... someone else can carry on!

Here's the OP description of this game, which opens up directions. thanks, everyone

I write a name of a skating-related figure - skater, coach, choreographer, costume designer etc. The next person writes a name of a skater/coach they associate with the first one, with a comment on how they're associated. The "association" can be partnership (I say Torvill, you say Dean), a coach/choreographer relationship (I say Sarah Hughes, you say Robin Wagner), or anything else you can think of. If you're stumped, you can get creative - associate on shared music or signature elements, championships won or records beaten! The next person associates with that figure, and so on.

I will give you a gift here, my dear Skylark

Among the teams that skated to Cell Block Tango for their 2018-2019 tango RD were, Nazarova/Nikitin of Ukraine.

We should all have plenty to say about them!

 

[skylark]

Nazarova/Nikitin skated to "1944" for their Worlds RD ... a skate which defines life in war-torn Ukraine for the past month.
