Euros 2024 Free Dance: “We Want More Rocky Horror Score”

[made_in_canada]

We call them bubble braids...

It's weird with a tutu.

 

[Rukia]

I always struggle with these two because they are not as bad as people on here say they are, but also they aren't great lol. And I don't really like their programs.

Halloween Swan Lake

The first part of that combination lift was a bit shakier than you'd like to see, given the position involved.

I realize that that is literally a swan position but it’s too literal for me. I just thought it was ugly but I’m glad he didn’t drop her that would’ve really made it really ugly

Sadly, I find that I’m blaming the sins of the parent on the daughter and I’m unable to actually root for this couple to do well

Not that the GOE would reflect that

 

[topaz]

Gleb is such a good ice dancer. I love his posture, line and extension. Very good skating skills for him.

 

[marbri]

This back swan really pales in comparison to the one that came before it..

 

[Vagabond]

When you're good to Mama
Mama's good to you

Mama Eteri? Good?

Cheers!

 

[Frau Muller]

Georgians - Smolkin looks like a real prince! I’m hoping that they’re having a great marriage.

 

[airgelaal]

So they were good to Mama and she helped them with that GOE

 

[floridaice]

Sorry, but that lift was very scary

and ugly position too -- needed pointed toes.

If you are going to skate to Chicago, please use the Chita Rivera/Gwen Verdon version. Please.

It's petty ,I know, but I hate that so many people think Catherine Zeta-Jones' portrayal is how Velma was supposed to act and sound .

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

Polyglot nonagenarian father is bored during D&S’s FD so he’s reading out the DW news in German.

 

[just tuned in]

Way overscored.

 

[Wyliefan]

They did fine in the RD, I'll give them that, but ballet is not a good choice for them.

 

[tony]

This program will no doubt be torn apart for non-technical reasons, but I think it’s quite good. She’s not the best skater ever, but I find him very very good and their elements are done with power and conviction.

And if you say their scores are criminal, explain

 

[Aceon6]

I prefer Swan #1.

Nice to see someone found a use for Zagitova's tutu. Overall, a lack of ice coverage in places, but much improved from a couple years ago. He, in particular, was very good, and was really performing more than I remember previously.

113.13 = 1st Place
189.46 = 1st Place

I'll go one snarkier than that. If it wasn't for the parent, we wouldn't be talking about this team at all.

 

[Vagabond]

Chris calls that a masterpiece.

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

Wonderful choreo, especially the last "sack of potatoes" lift.

D/S > Fun Finns but this program....

 

[Frau Muller]

MASTERPIECE!!! WOW!!!

 

[kosjenka]

Everything and the kitchen sink.

 

[Carolla5501]

Chris, there’s no way that was a masterpiece that was a paint by number Swan Lake

 

[TAHbKA]

15k.people in a silent 'wtf' during DavisSmolkin skate

 

[Spikefan]

Rolling my eye’s at Chris.

 

[kwanfan1818]

One person's masterpiece is another person's sloppy mess.

 

[Karen-W]

Well, now we know where the rest of the Georgian team's GOEs went... Mama Eteri's price is steep.

 

[Citlali]

Georgian lady is smiling

 

[thvu]

This program is so terrible. They're a very average dance team, but they're way better than this program. It's just awful. Do the Novak & Kiliakov teams just accept that their camp doesn't know how to package teams in silence?
