Olivia/Tim RD debut at Quebec Summer championships. It's a good start, but needs some tweaking. Some fans feel the music mix is off. Others feel it will get better, and that Tim needs to project a bit more. I guess true, but Tim Dieck? The Joker needs to project more? LOL! It's just a matter of Tim continuing to get his bearings in a new environment, and building his confidence in a new partnership. Olivia was bringing it. I guess they didn't perform their FD here?

I have some ideas for them, for the future, which I shared. Don't know if they saw, or will explore. We'll see.

ETA:
One commenter on YouTube felt that this music choice is a miss for them. What else might work from the 80s for this dynamic duo? Hmm

Their Blondie RD is a good fit for them, but I feel like second song is missing something. It may just be the audio from these first 2 competitions. Other 80s songs, I think that have worked would have been Robert Palmer’s “Addicted to Love” and “Simply Irresistible” (imagine her costume for that) or even the soundtrack for Who’s that Girl (Madonna) or Streets of Fire.

Their Elvis FD is one of my favorite FDs I’ve seen this year. I would love to see them do future programs to film scores to movies like The Thomas Crown Affair, Scarface, and Dangerous Liaisons and TV scores like the Flight Attendant. They’d make a great Sherlock and Irene using both the TV and film score too. Maybe even the Broadway version of the Bridges of Madison County.

 

[BlissfulSynergy]

^^ Great ideas @Tex! Pass your suggestions along to Olivia & Tim. I did! Whether suggestions appeal to them or not, they might lead to them being inspired in some way.

This was postęd in the comments on TSL. Also that an appeal has been filed by Olivia & MFD. Truth or rumor, who knows.

So, aparently the oficial decision was in added technical scores up to now (points from challenger against isu grand prix) and ... that's it
Val/Kazimov
Spanish Nats: 178.79 (TES 103.75)
Budapest: 168.34 (TES 97.44)
Bosphorus:176.36 (TES 103.43)
Total: 523.49
Total TES: 304.62

Smart/Dieck
Spanish Nats: 184.98 (TES 101.22)
Finlandia: 178.47 (TES 98.81)
Skate America: 180.67 (TES 100.14)
Total: 544.12
Total TES: 300.17

My comments - overall numbers tell a different story and smaller events often score higher. Looking over ISU scoring, the nationals scoring is consistent with ISU scoring. I feel bad for Tim getting caught up in Spanish fed politics. He has had the tougher road in this partnership waiting for Olivia, changing feds, coaches, training bases and technical adjustments to his skating. I think we have not heard the end of this yet and wonder how this may affect future of this team. It’s a shame because I like both teams and hate this fed battle so much. Maybe splitting the events for the teams would be more fair.

 

[skatingguy]

I hope Smart/Dieck take the opportunity to train, and skate together for the next 6 months or so before they even have to think about programs again, and use that time to develop a strong partnership that will make them the clear Spanish #1 next season. Then it won't matter what criteria the federation uses they'll get the slot.

Would they not just be better to switch to the British Fed? Sure they may not be number one behind Lilah and Lewis but at least Lilah and Lewis are sure to win two spots for the Britain in Euros/Worlds/Olympics in future years. It seems like the Spanish Fed really likes messing with the heads of their teams.

I'm not honestly sure that we would be an better option for Smart and Dieck. At the moment, I think they would also be behind Bekker and Hernandez who have just moved up to seniors this year and are very promising (they were in last year's JGP final). Our current third team (a new partnership) is also progressing very nicely at the moment and has a lot of potential. Smart and Dieck would be ahead of them currently, but might not be longer-term. There is also very little funding here, even for members of the elite performance squad. If funding is the reason for not going with the German Fed (which I think would have been their best option), then we would not be very appealing either.

Yes I really like Bekker and Hernandez and think they are very promising. Maybe Spain is the best option for them but I honestly don’t know what that Fed is thinking.

 

[cheerknithanson]

They should file a protest if they can.

 

[throw_triple_flip]

They should file a protest if they can.

What exactly would that achieve?
The other team met the conditions for selection.


And didn't Tim Dieck go to the Beijing Olympics with a second place finish at nationals himself?
