JGP #6 Poland - Ice Dance RD & FD

[Kateri]

Bland/Sperry with the same music as Green/Parsons. I get wishing a team had picked Opposites Attract for Paula Abdul instead, but also I get how this is a good combo for a narrative.

Q: should I trust this guy?
A: lol no.

 

[Karen-W]

Bland/Sperry - well, that was better than Lake Placid, but I can't be sussed over them only getting 1 JGP assignment this season.

 

[Karen-W]

BlaaSibs - so blaaaand. They're not continuing the fledgling tradition of great Czech sibling dance teams.

Also, I'm getting sleepy again, so I'm going to try and nap for an hour or so before ZehnSieb skate and the pairs FS.

 

[airgelaal]

So much gold

 

[airgelaal]

So many baby teams

 

[Frau Muller]

Wonderful gold dress!

 

[airgelaal]

She's got the look!

 

[Kateri]

Re: Spaniards: YES. These are the hideous shellsuit voids I have been waiting for! Both their costumes are truly awful in extremely real '80s ways. I am in awe. Well done. I have no idea how you skated.

 

[Frau Muller]

I never saw those wild costumes during the 80s, Mark!

 

[Frau Muller]

Clever Cars routine from the Swiss team.

Yup, I'm pretty sure we'll tune in for the final 2 groups here after the Nepela FD is done.

 

[her grace]

Bland/Sperry

Some of the stroking looks choppy, he's starting to resemble former American dancer Benoit. Strong lifts. Negative GOE on twizzles. Lots of little areas to polish, nice dramatic ending.

 

[Karen-W]

Okay, back from Bratislava for the last two dance groups in Gdansk. Why are these Amercians skating to Ghost? And did he borrow his shirt from Hot Ghost?

 

[PRlady]

In time for Americans. Nice job for a new team.

 

[her grace]

Cui/Eckert

Joyful expression, some nice finesse in her carriage and posture. Skating a little farther apart and choreography was simpler than the very top teams, but nice base to start from.

 

[Karen-W]

Canadians - "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" - wanna bet me? I can and will take my eyes off a team that chooses such a horrid piece of music. WTH - it segues into something else - maybe French??? Who knows, my eyes are off them again because they're slow and uninteresting.

 

[her grace]

Fournier/Zhu

Another new pairing, well done curve lift and strong twizzles, diagonal step sequence seemed effortful, good job setting a mood throughout the program

 

[her grace]

Dovhal/Kulesza

twizzles rather slow, collision during the one foot steps, strong lifts, but some struggles today.

 

[her grace]

Hairsine/Surenkov-Gultchev

Moving slowly through the one foot steps and the step sequences, good partnering, they seem to always know where the other is, nice to see that Britain is developing their dance program beyond just one team or two

 

[her grace]

Stanley/Sosnenko

Smooth footwork in the one foot steps, nice step sequence, dance spin got negative GOE, might be heading for an extended lift deduction, started strong and got a little messier as they went, a fall on the choreo steps. Oh dear.

 

[Karen-W]

Oh, dear - fall for Harlow on the choreo steps. Awwwwww, she's upset.

 

[her grace]

Nice rise in the standings for both Fournier/Zhu and Cui/Eckert. Impressive debuts.

 

[Karen-W]

Chinese Sleeping Beauties - her dress swallows her.

 

[her grace]

Lin/Gao

strong lifts, getting good levels on their step sequences though I don't necessarily agree , enjoyable choreography, good carriage

 

[Colonel Green]

This is the best-looking Chinese junior team I can recall in quite a while.

 

[airgelaal]

Chinese team is cute

 

[airgelaal]

I don't care, I love it

There's a great DJ here too.
