to answer Seven Sister, Matteo's wearing the flames of hell and i think they have the lyrics on their backs

That music suits Nicole and Matteo so much better than anything I've seen them do in the past couple of years. I had no idea they had so much drama and power!

You have to admit though, this is not a flattering look on him.

I consistently think this team needs better costumes, and since they hail from such a fashionable country, I can’t see how difficult that could be. Surely there is a Milanese fashion house or designer who could dress them appropriately.

Still one of the best BfK programs out there

i totally agree with you

I miss Valentina and Ondrej so much! I liked their SP here even better than their more comic programs. Valentina's celebratory squiggle ... I love how happy they were to Skate Well.

Remember they delivered 3 clean programs in 18 Olympics? That was pure joy.

Watching pairs events has made me realize how long-lasting partnerships are rare in the field

As well as how few pairs we have now, compared to earlier years. If I’m counting right, they had six, maybe even seven, warmup groups here!

I want Meagan Duhamel's hair (drools)

Right now, i would take Ksenia’s hair. I wish I had a proper short haircut, professionally done

you know, when you short the pairs they all look like Elon Musk's children

Aljona and Bruno!

Forgot to say how much I enjoyed Blues for Klook. I was swearing at the camera people, though, when they gave us aerial shots just when I wanted to see Sui/Han's faces!

 

[skylark]

Aljona not happy! She's always most annoyed when she messes up, even only a bobble.

An idle thought while watching That Man here. I wonder if the light, fun feel of this—which does not sacrifice technical intricacy—was what Tarasova/Morozov and their team were aiming for, when they settled on Candyman for the Olympic year LP?

 

[Ichatdelune]

Oof, a twist fall to open... And I still have sound sync issues gaah

You know what, that makes absolute sense. Something light, fun, and energetic, but done in a more "youthful" manner. Which (sigh) they missed.
