2024 Canadian Championships Senior FD - Is anyone skating to "Frozen"?

[Rukia]

I was going to say their knee action leaves something to be desired, and then he stumbled. I think those two things are related. They just don't look super secure on their edges.

 

[made_in_canada]

I'm finding this a bit snoozy.

 

[skategal]

Romeo fell down.

 

[Aceon6]

Ugh! And the levels weren’t there either.

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

Romeo fell down.

Well, the story is a tragedy.

 

[skategal]

Well, the story is a tragedy.

Maybe it was intentional.
It was Romeo’s death.

 

[Wyliefan]

Interesting comments from K&K about the first half being stronger and how they don't go all the way to the tragedy at the end. I hadn't thought about it before, but as much as I love that program, I think they may have a point. From some of B/B's off-ice comments, we know they find it irritating to have to do lovey-dovey stuff on ice when they're not a couple, and deal with that stereotype, but they're going to have to get past that somehow.

 

[Rukia]

Hensen/Lickers continue to slay

 

[skategal]

Hensen/Lickers keep rising.

 

[pat c]

Trent Michaud and Evelyn Walsh skated to this.

 

[Desperado]

I really wish all the dance teams (everywhere) didn’t try so hard to differentiate their FD style from their RD because, snoozeville.

 

[Rukia]

This program is so generic but they're skating well so

 

[Wyliefan]

Well, good for F/A. Dull program notwithstanding, they really rose to the occasion.

 

[Aceon6]

Nice job FabAyer! Give them all the points.

Or just not skate to R&J? They have options!

 

[BlueRidge]

That might not be a song I'd want to hear but their skating is so expressive, I just get totally drawn in.

F&A are doing a good job of taking up the space for me left by LaLa not being here.

 

[victorskid]

Several years ago Paul Ayer almost stopped skating, if I recall correctly. I'm so pleased that he didn't

 

[Habs]

I loved that. I’m such a Fabbri & Ayer uber.

 

[marbri]

I mean it's an old program but I let it slide because injuries and all. But great skate, I really like this team, she is such a strong skater.

And for Hensen/Lickers very well deserved rise today !!

 

[cygnus]

Yes, the music is generic, but they drew me in and sold it to me. I'm a fan.

 

[Rukia]

I mean if you watch Euros how many romantic programs were there? I feel like it was majority not.

 

[BlueRidge]

I liked that program last year and I'm glad to see it skated so beautifully again.

 

[Wyliefan]

Or just not skate to R&J? They have options!

To be fair, they didn't want to. Their team talked them into it. And I do think it's a beautiful program, but maybe they could be doing even more with it if they could just say to themselves, "Well, this is what we've got, let's just go all out."

 

[kwanfan1818]

Fabbri/Ayer's change in the combination lift with the change in the music is chef's kiss.

 

[Karen-W]

Meh. Fabbri/Ayer skated that program so well because they've had it for too many seasons. Hopefully they'll move onto something less boring now.

Or just not skate to R&J? They have options!

They have the same coach as Gilles & Poirier and that team rarely does the lovey doves thing so in theory they should have multiple options.

 

[overedge]

Just joining in and glad to see that F/A did so well!

 

[Kateri]

Yeah, I get pushing them out of their comfort zones, but there are still lots of available directions!

 

[overedge]

Corpses can have O faces, who knew?

 

[Aceon6]

Les Gacs quite good today, too.
