2023 Finlandia Trophy - Ice Dance RD & FD

[marbri]

This is such a brilliant FD for Juho, he shines in it. I find myself wishing she wasn't in the way and he could really let go

 

[Wyliefan]

Love love love this program for Yuka and Juho, and they perform it like gangbusters. Tiny bit wobbly in places, though, and it looks like they're getting a bunch of reviews (that's what those little white things in the tracker boxes mean, right?).

 

[PRlady]

Oh boy Fun Finns (as opposed to Serious Finns) are just a hoot. That audience reaction wasn’t all national loyalty.

 

[Marta24]

So happy that the Finns have two spots for Euros/Worlds.

 

[jlai]

tes rather low for the Browns

 

[marbri]

I remain confused why IAM wanted the Browns. Oh I know what they do well but for me they are such a "thank you, next" type of team.

 

[Wyliefan]

The Browns are so cute. Between them and Dupayage/Nabais, the level of cute in this flight is off the charts.

 

[PRlady]

I think IAM is doing well by them. They’re reaching for that emotive-not-romantic slot the Shibs did so well. I see much more potential there than previously.

 

[Wyliefan]

The judges are handing out a lot of personal bests today. That's another one.

 

[PRlady]

Oof third by a sliver.

 

[Wyliefan]

Oh gosh, I love to watch D/N. The sharpness and sureness of their movements is so great.

 

[jlai]

wow the TES is even lower for the French

 

[Wyliefan]

wow the TES is even lower for the French

Remember, the leaders are Fournier-Beaudry/Sorensen. Everyone's TES is going to look low compared to theirs.

 

[marbri]

French team is interesting and can see the potential. Really with the concept of that FD however as we went from cool and voidy to generic AF choreography and music

I remain confused why IAM wanted the Browns. Oh I know what they do well but for me they are such a "thank you, next" type of team.

Did they? I thought the Browns asked for some help and IAM gave it to them. Are they now an IAM team?

 

[Wyliefan]

Into 2nd by .06!

 

[PRlady]

Wow it is SO close but they’re in second overall.

 

[marbri]

Did they? I thought the Browns asked for some help and IAM gave it to them. Are they now an IAM team?

I know they aren't 100% but I thought it was some sort of collab agreement. But if it's just hey, can you help us with choreography and concept ideas then I am less confused

 

[Wyliefan]

Oops, there went Olivia's twizzles.

 

[jlai]

and even lower tes for the Spaniards!

 

[Wyliefan]

Now THAT TES is low, I agree.

 

[PRlady]

Oh shit twizzle error and invalid lift, TES way down at 52.

 

[jlai]

Remember, the leaders are Fournier-Beaudry/Sorensen. Everyone's TES is going to look low compared to theirs.

But if your tes is lower than 60 that will be below the second pair of Finns

 

[Wyliefan]

What was wrong with the lift? I must have missed it.

 

[marbri]

If the R in the scoring box stands for review then this panel has been reviewing the majority of elements for each team.

Smart/Dieck. Not sure if they have reworked the edit and choreography from the first time I saw this FD but I liked it a lot better now.

 

[PRlady]

What was wrong with the lift? I must have missed it.

Something wonky but they didn’t show it again.

 

[sap5]

I can’t see the stream but I like long reviews in challengers. Tell me what I need to change to get better scores!

 

[Wyliefan]

That score is pretty high, methinks.

 

[Wyliefan]

Safely through the twizzles. I still almost bite through my tongue when they do them.

 

[sap5]

That score is pretty high, methinks.

Whose score is high?
