Gabriella Papadakis & Guillaume Cizeron

I don't think this is a season to forget. This years RD is one of my favorites from them. This FD kind of reminds me of 2017 based on the trajectory. It was never bad but never hit the level of their past programs until worlds. I know they have been taking a lot of breaks so hopefully going into worlds they can make some adjustment. I think this program is to appease those saying they do the same thing. They will probably go back to their style for the olympics at least. Even if this isn't my favorite program I still think its superior to the rest we have seen this season.
I fully agree with you. This is a season to remember as well as the others.

I am eternally grateful that they do anything at all this season, after the very heavy and ultimately bittersweet last season. They had so many highs, and only one low, but that was a spectacular one. The fact that they are again creating programs, and training so hard to get into a new style and find a new way is simply awe-inspiring. Thank you thank you thank you.

This is why I really hope that if physically possible, they will do a third quad. They have really so much to bring to this sport, I do feel that they will be more impacting than Torvill and Dean. It's impossible to compare because times have changed and T/D did so much for ice dance. Obviously, Chris's impact is still going on, and in a sense, Jane and Chris are continuing their legacy and work through Gaby and Guillaume. Directly and indirectly.

GG have dominated ice dance since Europeans 4 years ago, in spite of V/M's short reappearance. The new regulations are a result of the change that GG brought: they are meant to boost their kind of ice dancing. That is rather phenomenal at their age I suppose. If they can last for another quad after this one, there is no guessing where we end up with it all.

Their RD is plainly spectacular. I really hope they can get the Tango levels right, and if they do, it will be THE program of reference for future TR's. It is already a tango to refer to, even without the full TR levels.
Their FD is not totally wow but it has the absolutely sensational curve lift, and they do really great other stuff in it. It may become totally wow by Worlds, and it is anyway a fully interesting and artistic work that will get its place and necessity in the total evolution of their career.

They are together working, searching, evolving, creating, exploring and performing. When they could have simply taken the year off.
I'm very very very thankful that they do that. It's not just for us, it's for something higher. For beauty, for art, for history.
They're just fabulous.
Let it last, please let it last, just a bit longer.
There's so much to give birth to.
 
I'm so happy to read these kind words about PC! I was a little bit afraid that no one likes their programs in this season. :) I like the tango (and I'm still unable to decide which Gabriella's dress I like the most) and I'm totally in love with their free dance! Music, choreography, lifts, movements, clothes and EMOTIONS, everything is perfect for me and I feel I can completely relate with them and with their story. Can't wait to see them but unfortunately I'll be in work tomorrow so I won't see them live.
 
I saw videos from todays practice with gabby's hair back down in for the free. I prefer it that way because she has always worn it down in the FD since Mozart so I don't want to jinx anything. Either way I am sure she will look and do great. I really hope the judging is fair and not to favoring of the Russians.

How were they? Do you have links? Thank you.
 
Now I am curious to see what she wears for the FD since apparently she isn't the same thing to practice and comp. I like the new dress its different.
 
What a performance!! I truly forget to keep an eye on the score...just want to enjoy. The twizzles in particular were glorious!

And the dress colour is lovely!!
 
I love the new dress colour, anything would have been good but this is a very interesting choice. Her earrings are so lovely, I don't remember if she had the same ones in France.

This was quite eventful and interesting. Gaby was talking fish for most of it I think, but I love it.
Only thing is the obvious one. Man, they did themselves a disfavour by starting the rhythm pattern on the rhythm change... I wonder if they'll ever be able to nail that, as it is hardly possible to hear the beat in that segment.

Guillaume's RD issues continue... I don't know what they disliked in the twizzles which I thought were fab, but then again I make a habit of watching Gabi at that point. MiSt2 is also something I thought we'd left in the past... On the bright side, 6/8 KPs is an improvement especially since Gabi's error was only a timing issue.

Whatever, they'll blow everything away in the FD tomorrow etc etc, but I wish they were as dominant in the tango as they were in the SD last season... I don't ever want a repeat of the horrors of 2016-2017...
 
Oh, and MF is always the best dressed person on screen (I wanted to say 'in the rink' but since we see hardly anybody present there, that's a bit of a high gamble...).

And it seems that almost all the girls buy their skin colour fabric at the end of summer when they all have a tan that by now is completely gone. Solar centres or spray-on tans seem to have fallen out of grace. And so we notice a quite distinct tone difference. So much for fake nudity.
 
The dress + earring look is VERY good. I also loved Guillaume's little handkerchief moment, very cute. Between the green and his top it's like they're trying the make the dreams of this FF come true! :laugh:
 
Gui was given 3 on twiz??? and Midstep 2....:drama:

LOVED that. Dreamy. And the dress, their whole look *chef's kiss*

Aren't we on very slippery ice here with such discussions? Have the GS rules changed back??

.

I have to add Romain H. on the men's side. He always looks so elegant! I love watching him just be...or interact with others.
