Gabriella Papadakis & Guillaume Cizeron

Thanks so much, Harriet! I immediately downloaded the video on to my computer. :-)) The twizzles were aaaammmmaaazzing! I want to find the Eurosport video and hopefully Mark Hanretty was commenting.

I would love to hear his commentary too, but I have a feeling he wasn't commentating due to the first Dancing on Ice Tour show tonight in which he's performing.
 
Wow wow wow! Not their absolute best rumba pattern but damn if that wasn't the most clear-cut, smooth as butter level 4 no touch step sequence they have ever done! So impressed with Gabbi's work over the season!

The last two rockers were so curvy and fast and smooth.
 
I was so captivated by their energy that I forgot to even look at the TES and GOEs until they ended their SD, but I suppose that's how their skating is to me: transcending protocols and scoring systems. From all that debate about whether or not this song was truly Latin at the start of the season up till the last time they performed it, I just have to say that their energy is simply contagious and who doesn't love a fun song along with such energy, deep edges and all that smooth, fast and sharp carving around the ice? It's great to hear they've bagged yet another WR :cheer: They absolutely sold that step sequence, Guillaume needless to say was his wonderful self and Gaby was on FIRE. So proud of them as always.

Also, it's been a while since I've seen an ice dance press conference that didn't have palpable tension in the air. I suppose this is as peaceful a (likely) podium trio as we have seen and are going to see for a while, and I just loved how light-hearted the press conference was. I laughed at how a journalist asked Guillaume about his wardrobe switch back to the sleeveless top and which one Gaby preferred on him :laugh: They seem to be in such good spirits! This will be a great end of season for them :)

Translation :

They beaten a WR, the SD this time, they are finishing this incredible season on a high note.

Gaby : "a bit hard to go back to practice, there was a big energy, hard to get out of it and moving on to the next competition, but we're really happy."

They are rehearsing this program on the ice rink one last time, the program that everyone talked about. Olympic games, February, they live their worst nightmare on the ice after Gaby's costume popped open but finish this SD very well, Silver medal.

Romain at practice : "Same energy, but let it be luminous, you know ? Be calm, have fun with each other."

One month later, the dress incident seems to be digested

Romain : "Yes, yes, we checked and checked, and add 50 hooks, 50 points, so if it breaks again, its her destiny to end up naked in front of people :rofl:"

Today they break the WR in the SD, despite a difficult season.

Guillaume : "you might not see that we are tired, but we blame this long season a bit, it's important for us to have the audience supporting us and carrying us".

Next the gala, and then well-deserved holidays.
 
Gala of the worlds and holidays .... Not quite. There is then for three weeks the tour of the champions (French team) organized by the French federation. Galas every night throughout France .... Nice to go to the front of the public and receive their thanks ... but also certainly quite tiring, many road trips ....
The TRUE holidays, those where we leave the skates in the cupboard, it is for a little after mid-April.

Wow every night? It's gonna be tough. Hope they pace themselves. Is it gonna be only the figure skating team?

No Chafik? He must be injured. That's a shame.

That's quite the tour schedule; I hope everyone gets through it okay. At least they get 9 April off!

When there is local iceskaters, they are added to the gala. For example, in Lyon there is the junior team of Natacha LAGOUGE / Corentin RAHIER, or luc economides around Grenoble etc ...I suppose that they will be added just for this gala. The tour is made to promote iceskating in France and probably to earn money for the federation.
 
Seems like Guillaume is pretty relaxed now, tweeting and all! His instagram story and the disaster that was the men's FS really has me thinking that they all just need a long break after this madness is over. But here's to wishing all the best to G&G one last time for their FD! :)
 
Yay!!!! All records broken!!! I hope that FD is posted on YouTube at high resolution as I want to download it! :-) That performance was just so breathtaking and transcendent!
