Ice Dance FD - 2013-14 Grand Prix Final

[Excidra2001]

Could the fact W/P are Canada #2 work against them? They are competing against #1 Russia, #1 France and #1 Italy.

Birds routine up now

woops. looks like they shot the wrong bird.

Wow...I overslept and woke up to see S/S over V/T in Pairs, and P/B over W/P in Dance. Is it a full moon or something?

Actually I'm a fan of both W/P and P/B's programs.

Oh look, time to pitch a tent. We're going camping....

Hi B/S!

Some of the male ice dancers and male pairs skaters have already started pitching their tents....

 

[Blades of Passion]

HAHAHA, YESSSSS. 100% prediction.

Bobrova/Soloviev

Unfortunate freak fall from him into the boards (just before spin). They have good speed, but the dance is still frantic and the concept for me is :think:. TES box is 46.98 (they got 47.29 at Rostelecom)

Score: 47.08+51.74-1.00 = 97.82, 166.72, 2nd out of 4

OY. I thought it. You said it.

 

[zschultz1986]

So, let's see how much money-infused russian vodka the judges have had today, after that fall. Also, Dmitri is wearing my LEAST favorite pants of the night.

 

[Mrs. P]

P/B will medal! What a nice comeback for them.

 

[samson]

He's just not showing what he's got is he?

On another note, I found them both to be kind of endearing at the end after the program. They definitely were moving FAST until the fall, still that program...

 

[hurrah]

It's so funny that they are portraying a pair of frightened birds.

 

[Blades of Passion]

NOOOO, what the ****. Ahead of W/P with a bad fall. Ugh.

 

[flaneur]

I think the fall was on a non-element. Still think the program is a bit of a dud but they until the fall it was better than previous showings.

 

[samson]

Someone on twitter called it duck hunt on ice. LOL

Virtue/Moir

He "woo"s after their skate, they hug and looks ecstatic. The FD was much more coherent and sharper than before, nice too see. TES box is 54.64 (they got 51.42 at SC)

Score: 54.56+57.85, 112.41 (PB), 190.00 (WR), in 1st out of 5

 

[Finnstep]

Amazing skate from V/M.

 

[Blades of Passion]

LOVED Virtue/Moir today. The program is improved. Really hope they win this competition. Davis/White don't have their subtlety.

 

[flaneur]

Beautiful.

 

[WeakAnkles]

It's beautifully skated, but I'm still not a fan of the choreography. No doubt that's the best job they've done all season.

 

[samson]

Really really nice from Tessa and Scott. The first minute for me is just extraordinary. They seem to be settling into this program much better now. The expression is subtler and so much more mature. I'm more interested in this story, than the story they were telling earlier in the grand prix.

Wow 112+ great great score for them!
