Ice Dance - short dance

[Macassar88]

Tessa and Scott into the lead.

 

[Kinga]

I like Tessa's dress, but I think her previous dresses showed her hip action much better. This one is hiding it.

 

[Violet Bliss]

Tessa and Scott, wow wow wow. How do they get to be hot and sexy yet elegant and classy at the same time? Athleticism and artistry in one package.

The scoring at these Worlds have been very strange; normally the marks go up as the season progresses with many skaters scoring personal bests when they are clean.

 

[Bue]

That was the bomb from V/M. In a class of their own.

 

[fairly4]

2 points too high. just should have beat out d/w , not 2 points ahead

Yes. I have no problem with the placements or with how far apart V/M D/W are, but the scores themselves are strangely low to me. Oh well.

 

[sky_fly20]

judges have been in what mood ?
their scoring is very low, might as well let the juniors skate

IF these are the scores continue we are expecting
Julia Lipnitskaya would have won the seniors ladies had she competed , lol

 

[blue_idealist]

Honestly I can't wait until the Shibs are over, just find them boring all the time. Go P/B!!

 

[Bue]

I sort of agree the gap is too wide, seemed like the judges definitely were leaving a window for V/M?

You should probably check your math...70.98 for D/W Vs. 72.31 for V/M. If I'm not mistaken thats 1.33 ahead. That's pretty darn close to me.

 

[Mrs. P]

The gap isn't that much. It's 1.33 points.

agreed. Very odd worlds - even aside from the falls. Also, while I like Tessa's dress, this one does not highlight how well that girl can move her hips. It's really hides it. I find V/M such a dichotomy....sexy and sultry in one move, classy and elegant the next. Love that in this couple. It's hard to believe so much variation comes out of them.

Agree. It was pretty bleh. They don't have the fire that Latin dance requires. Very clean and precise, but so boring.

 

[emdee]

T&S rocked it.
Marks well deserved.
No gimmes for D&W like elsewhere.

 

[Mrs. P]

Well I bet the Shibs are glad they don't have to do Latin for the SD for a while. Big huddle for these guys. BUt you have to admire them for trying to work despite the challenges.

 

[jan]

No comparison. V/M are in a league of their own. I would have given them a 4 point cushion. Free Dance will be closer though.

 

[Mrs. P]

Ouch. The Shibs are going to be out of the final group.

Absolutely.
