15 63.33
Coach:Jana Hübler, Oliver Pekar
Romeo and Juliet (musical soundtrack) by Gerard Presgurvic
Their bio says this is R&J, but it sounds like bongo music and she has an empire waisted top (black with large white floral, like bad upholstery) and a white skirt with a few vertical black ribbon stripes. He has bad upholstery mandarin jacket and white pants
one foot lift, her in haircutter
COP f/w slowed at the end
rotational lift skidded along ice somewhat unintentionally
twizzles, 2nd set out

..and the Austrian girl wins the ugly dress competition. I totally liked the Canadians better. Horrible music.
I wasn't listening, but now I'm curious, what were they?
Okay, I would have prefered not to understand the lyrics during that freedance.

Absolute kitsch. It was after the musical "Romeo & Juliet" - but it sounded like a new soundtrack to Sissi. :think:

Choreographer: Elena Maslennikova
Selection of soundtracks by Goran Bregovic
Very peppy music Money Money Money and something about a woman named Rosacea
well maybe Alsatia
Outfits half black coat/pants and half chartreuse green shirt.
Similar effect on the girl with her dress
I think this is supposed to be funny, but I didn't get the joke
Slow but good twizzles
Rather ordinary lifts
Very peppy

14 68.06
Coaches: Karponosov & Suzy Semanick
Gothika by Sarah Brightman
Fleur du Mal by Sarah Brightman
She's in patchwork of red's and pinks. His shirt the same with black pants.
She falls twice. They finally get back together again.
Nice pair spin
Nice handstand lift with him in bent leg spread eagle
Lift with her legs scissored around his legs
They are quite good, and this is so sad.

8 76.98
Coach: Natalia Karamyseva, R. Sinitzin, M. Kreiselmeyer
Choreographer: Margarita Drobiazko, Povilas Vanagas
Chess - End of Game
Black and white outfits. The tops are white with stylized line drawing of chess pieces. His top is half black, half white and he has black pants. Hers has a partially black back on the top, otherwise white
Can't believe it. M&N went through an entire competition without falling. They are lovely but so inconsistent.
She had trouble with the first part of the twizzle sequence-I'm not sure if they get any level for it, but for them this is great!!!
The lifts were all gorgeous.
And so was the pair spin, complex, dancy, ending in a crouch with her in sit spin position
And this was danced and emoted properly. Maybe we will get them at worlds instead of Hajkova & Vincour I hope.

Lorenza ALESSANDRINI / Simone VATURI ITA
9 75.48
Coach: Barbara Riboldi, Roberto Pelizzola
Schindler's List
White v neck shirt has one very raggy edge and black pants
She has grey white raggy dress
Not a particularly attractive dance.
Lots of angsty faces
Footwork simple
Lifts did not have nice positions He swings her under his legs then she springs onto a standing lift on his knees. It's unintentionally funny.
twizzles OK
Bent knee position by her in low straight line lift
70.13 total 145.61 into 2nd
However, they skated it quite well.

7 77.30
Coach: Tyler Myles, Kelly Johnson, P. Porac
Choreographer: Pasquale Camerlengo, T. Myles, K. Johnson
Cinema Paradiso
Dark blue scoop neck dress, black trim
black pants, dark blue shirt, black vest
This was very smoothly skated. They have nice carriage, but it was very forgettable. I fear, however, it will score well.
The first set of twizzles with the free leg out were very nice and quick, 2nd set less so. Simple straight line lift. Pair spin some problems with the reverse, may not have gotten the revolutions. Nice speed on the rotational part of the combo lift. Really unattractive one arm rotational lift with him holding her by the knee.
Not my favorites, but you have to give them credit

10 73.93
Muriel Zazoui, Romain Haguenauer, Diana Ribas
The Mission
Dark red dress with skirt longer in the back. Bare back with what looks like a fake orange tattoo patch at the top of the butt
He has a red top with a red sleeve with a lot of gray/silver illusion cutouts down the middle. Black pants
Pair spin to start
Straight line lift with them both low, forming a V shape
Skid around ina a low position interesting
Their twizzles out of synch and no forward travel on 2nd set
Typical squat spread eagle by guy, backbend by girl lift morphs into her standing up on one leg on one of his legs
They're off the music now
Rotational lift
Ok

6 79.67
Coach: Carol Lane, Juris Razgulajevs, Jon Lane (in Canada)
And Then There Was Blues - St. James Infirmary Blues
White shirt, off white pants, untied tie flapping
Black and pink floral pattern dress with little puffy sleeves
Somehow this seems like an extension of their yesterday's OD
Good feel for the music. Not great posture, but not as bad as it was
Start rotational lift, fast and she changes position during the rotation
Circle kicks
pretty good legline match
Little sbs jump in the F/w
Stag position rotation, a little different more extended position in the reverse
twizzles ok
trombone movements
Pair spin is the same cute one used in the OD with her ducking under his leg
"Stretched out ona long white table" in the music, and that what she does in their straight line lift
Kicks not perfectly aligned
73.0? 152.76 into first
They will resurface

Yes. Canadians must all have schmaltzy FD's. I think it is a law, and they are considering adding a version of At Last to the Canadian anthem.

I think due to Dubreuil/Lauzon and Virtue/Moir's success all teams feel they must skate to some dull, romantic, lovey dovey piece and it is so boring! Ralph & Hill were so much more interesting when they skated to their fantastic African Drums OD last season!
