Gabriella Papadakis & Guillaume Cizeron

[Bcash]

So they are going for the choreo sliding movement huh... Not sure how I feel about that given how lame some of Gadbois's slides have been, but on the other hand Romain is the one that gave us Fear/Gibson, so who knows? Also lol @ Synchronized Twizzles Lady + Synchronized Twizzles Lady!

The sliding move of Hawayek Baker is pretty excellent.

Gabi's just so good she can synchronise her twizzles with herself!

Given Guillaume's glorious knee slide/lift last year in Moonlight plus his regular rotating sliding knee thingy he does, I'm pretty confident. Basically they've always had some sliding movement going on in their program. I actually thought ISU chose to include that sliding movement because of that glorious MS move, but that's probably just me thinking everything ice dance revolves around P/C

OMG I love this RD.

Better view of those out of the earth edges with Gaby in the shot I mean :eeking:
Plus we now have proof she's nowhere near looking like Hulk Hogan

Isn´t there a lift missing in the protocol? There are only 9 elements announced... and just 2 lifts...

I see three lifts! Curve, rotational and choreographic at the end.

And some have been quite spectacular!

There are three lifts listed for the FD: curve, rotational and choreographic dance. But a couple of other teams only have nine elements listed too. If it's accurate, though, it's probably okay; at Skate Canada two teams only had nine elements listed in their final protocols instead of ten, and there were no penalties attached.

Hope they have a new spin.

Well, if there’s anything Lambiel is good at it’s the spins!

Oh i see, but according to the protocols e.g. in helsinki, there are 4 lifts allowed ( including one choreographic lift which has a base value of 1,1 instead of the 5,3 for a regular level 4 lift). if i am not mistaken, the couples that skated just 9 elements combined two lifts in one element...but i think it isn´t a big deal, maybe a mistake ( why would gaby and guillaume drop nearly 7 points by not skating all the allowed elements...)

Pattern sections are looking good! (Hard to pick up close details from a blurry Twitter video, but overall, yeah, nice).

Alain posted a pretty close up clip of the pattern on instagram.

These little teases keeping their FD under wraps until the end The pattern looks alright, and they always skate it cleaner in competition anyway.

I should be in bed, but I wouldn't be able to sleep anyway.
Ooooh, this is going to be something...

Ryeklama, ryeklama and a glimpse of the same ugly costumes.
Life can be so delicious...
