Free Dance

[Saundy]

You need to download the TvAnts program first, it's fairly quick and straightforward

http://tvants.en.softonic.com/

Once you've got that installed, just search for CCTV and there should be a list. Pick one of the CCTV-5s I think?

I found the CCTV one thanks. It's MUCH better. Now if I could just speak Chinese!

I'm on the ISU site and can't see scores under either starting order or results...anyone else having this issue?

Never mind...problem resolved

Russia

Something else to look for: Will Russia earn 3 spots for next year's Worlds? After the OC, they sit in 2nd and 13th.

Ive never been so irritated over living in belgium ever before. If u use internet too much (which is inevitable during figure skating championships) u reach the downloading limit very quickly.. so no chance of any live feeds working before april...

maybe this is a stupid question, but are there any sites where u can watch recordings of the skating? Not just one program at a time, but all of the free dance for instance?

Outdated songs are good. The problem is when they use bad versions of them (austrian couple...)

CBC has the entire events on their website on demand for outside Canada too

the gov't limits how much you can download? or is it a whomever provides the internet connection? Do you not have the option to purchase more time? Hmmm...this is very foreign to me in the USA.

Oh no!!! She fell on the circular footwork, looked like it hurt took them a while to get back to the program

 

[fumie_fumie]

The Ukrain team -the names are too long

I don't think the Austrian captures the themes of 70's very well.

The Reeds of Japan are showing off their good stroking. A lot of Japanese fans are there to support the team.

Weaver/Poje at the back stage.

--------------------------------------
back to competitions

• sbs step sequence
• straight line, rotational lift, good extension, not a lot of speed.
• this team is better than Austrian
• skaters drift quite a far apart.
• the time of turns are well in sync
• serpentine lift, first part done in one foot
• rotational lift, loss of speed
• girl fell on circular step sequence, taking a bit of time to regroup
• tremendous strength in straight line lift.

I like this pair better than Austrian. very dramatic music, really suited for dancing. the fall is very awkward. this will hurt them a big time. The girl hurt herself in the fall.

TES - 43.11
PCS - 32.66, Ouch!
Deduction -1

moved to 1st place

Is it just me, or it seems like almost all of the teams have really good straight line lifts ?

 

[fumie_fumie]

The Germans - Gazsi, Zhigan---

Laboem, Latin music

Black/white costume, looking very sleek

serpentine seq
the level of difficulty is not there.
straight line lift is good
sbs step, twizzle, very close to each other.
straight lift, rotational combo
serpentine lift
combo dance spin
deathdrop
tango dance steps,nice variations of turns
rotational lift, the girl curled up like a turtle, good.

There is something missing in the program. I don't know what.
