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

[Wyliefan]

That just flew by! Such a terrific program -- I love all the fun little details. And he just owns the mad scientist vibe or whatever it is (I never actually saw the movie ).

 

[marbri]

That is such a fun and brilliantly choreographed FD!! Just it.

 

[BlueRidge]

LeGacs are so good at those kind of character pieces. That was so fun

 

[Rukia]

Very strong skate by them today, and I wouldn't be mad if I got to see that at worlds

 

[Karen-W]

Les Gacs quite good today, too.

Agreed - they seemed very on - hopefully they'll hold on for silver.

 

[kwanfan1818]

To me Les Gacs looked earthbound and clunky and like they were trying to move through quicksand. For ten minutes.

 

[jlai]

Canadian ice dance is pretty deep that it is still the strongest discipline even with two withdrawals

I liked Laur & Legac's Corpse Bride. Quirky, so them.

 

[overedge]

OK, I had to look up Corpse Bride because I had no idea where this theme came from.....but I can't say I enjoyed this a lot. It was very well performed, and there was some clever choreography, but "corpse wakes up, dances with groom, dies again" doesn't leave a lot of room for story development. This would be a great show program, but I'm not won over by it as a competitive program.

 

[Wyliefan]

Happy tears! Good for them!

Okay, let's get wuthering!

 

[BlueRidge]

silver medal for LeGacs so happy!

 

[marbri]

Kaitlyn "silver medal at least".. thinks we forgot the RD scores

 

[Rukia]

ready to be transported to the moors

 

[Wyliefan]

Now THAT'S how you do camerawork on a lift. Nice.

Beautifully skated.

 

[Desperado]

Such close twizzles!

I think Paul’s shirt has been taken in a little and I approve.

 

[Rukia]

ok honestly I only think like 50% of this choreography really works, but the music is so stunning I don't really care most of the time

 

[BlueRidge]

Great! On to Montreal.

 

[skategal]

Great to see Piper and Paul back at Nationals.

They slayed!

 

[Aceon6]

The twiddles! The glide! The last lift! This program has really grown on me

 

[overedge]

Oh my that was so beautiful . I don't think I breathed throughout the entire program.

 

[marbri]

It's certainly beautiful music they have now brought into the figure skating world.

I have been raving about this program from Day One. But if I have one complaint now, in January, is that I find Lane teams don't develop enough the connection between the two skaters. By that I mean you can picture Scott and Tessa skating that same program and actually believe this was their story they are telling us. I just want them to give us 50% of that. But they have a few more months to do that.

 

[Aceon6]

Gotta go. See you for pairs.

 

[honey]

I want to like this, but it’s just kind of…there…for me. It doesn’t excite me unfortunately The lifts are beautifully highlighted in this program though.

KMT is high if she thinks this will challenge for gold at worlds. I think the writing is on the wall that that is not happening.

 

[maureenfarone]

Piper and Paul were magical. Loved their FD.

YAY for Henson & Lickers.

 

[overedge]

However I do want to say that I think these costumes are entirely wrong for the program. This is strong, deep, dramatic music. The pale colours don't do that justice.

And this is a very minor snark related to @Desperado observation about Paul's shirt. I agree that the sleeves have been adjusted - it looks like elastic bands just under the elbows - and there are probably practical reasons for that. But it looks like he's about to pull some pints down at the local pub. I'd redo that shirt entirely because the shiny fabric is really distracting, but that's MHO.

 

[marbri]

YAY for Henson & Lickers.

Today is the day one wishes we gave out pewter medals

 

[overedge]

Thank you again K&K!!!

 

[skategal]

Great competition!

Hensen/Lickers has the FD that I want to watch over and over again…
