I liked the Czech team's music. Couldn't quite make out what type of music it is, I thought some sort of metal rock. Thank you for pointing out that it's the blues. I think the choreography fit the music well.

Sorry, I found this couple boring so I zoned out after a while & just came back. No offense to them. I am rather tired.

 

[Nadine]

And this LTU couple goes into 3rd place.

 

[ImaginaryPogue]

Eh, it wasn't very good. Don't know why they got the deduction though (shows how much I was paying attention, but they looked surprise and left the KnC rather quickly).

Break time, thank goodness!

It is called "Blues for Klook" and if you want to make a comparison, here is Weaver & Poje version of it (our 3rd canadian team)

What was so wrong with LTV pair? They stepped down 2 places!

 

[fanofskate]

Lithuanians dropped after the OD then now even more. That -1 hurts even more. West Side Story just evokes very distinct feelings/pictures because it is a very well known piece. I think they just didn't bring on the characters I expected to see especially in the non-Maria parts. Just not snappy enough or not enough attitude. Maybe it is the choreography or just the way they delivered it. Maybe both.

Poor skating and they should not pick "West side story"overused and too many better versions to make an impact with it

Thank you for this. Will have to watch that later. So many instances of skaters using modern music but couldn't quite make justice to it in the choreography. If they choose non-traditional, it should have enough variation in it so they can create a dynamic program.

I thought last year LTU pair was lovely. And the fact that it's Shpilband/Zueva who are coaching them should make them better. But maybe I was wrong.

Gorgeous performance from Russians. Twizzles were spot on.
And everything went so well with this lovely Mozart music

 

[herios]

Good job Vanessa and Paul, that was bgorgeous!!!!!!

 

[demarinis5]

Beautiful skating and interpretation. Loved this program.

 

[ImaginaryPogue]

I missed the Russians (bathroom break) but I thought Crone/Poirier were lovely. Though what was she wearing?

What was the deduction the Russians got for? Do we have another overzealous caller here? If so, I'm gonna bet Davis/White get hit.

And they are not happy with the marks....

Eh, Shpilband/Zueva have so many couples that they are coaching, it's not really surprising that the lower-ranked ones don't get original programs IMO. I mean, even D/W and V/M get recycled music. Of course they are much stronger skaters and the choreography is much more detailed etc.

Sure enough, the storm knocked my connection

But the canadians were great.
But I would love to hear the concept behind that skirt...

 

[Kinga]

Maybe it is not the best idea to finish with the spin. It was not the best quality and leaves not very good impression at the end of good program

 

[beep_beep]

Well one thing is sure: Zueva is very eco-frinedly (recycle - reuse)...

 

[fanofskate]

C/Ps program looks good. I'm sure with more outings, it will be a great program. They are a good young team.
