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

[Aceon6]

I’m in agreement with the scoring so far, but would have given the Mrazs a few more points.

 

[MacMadame]

Wait. Who did Chris just say might win gold here?

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

If I were Taschlers, I'd be very concerned.

Even before they skated, I already put them behind both T/V and D/lM. And I fully think the Mrazeks will overtake them too next season if they find a human choreographer. So far it looks like all their programs were created by AI.

 

[BlueRidge]

go Allison & Saulius!!

 

[Barbara Manatee]

Chris is sure pushing hard for Fear/Gibson. He's never been good at hiding his favoritism.

 

[Spikefan]

I know it won't happen but Lopareva/Brissaud are some of the best skaters here and should be higher than 2 of the teams in front of them there i said it

I agree but I want Lithuania to medal, this crowd deserves it. And I say that as someone that hates their FD.

 

[Wyliefan]

I thought the Serious Finns were great. But then, so were the French.

 

[Rukia]

ok but what if we sacrificed Rocky what then

 

[tony]

I don't think that was it, or at least the only thing. Skaters sometimes need only one high score for that score/range to "stick", while it doesn't for the rest of the pack. I think the fear was that the judges would continue to place them in a pack in which they were pretenders.

I think it was a huge part of it. Because that competition was likely not even watched by most of the vocal people, but Takahashi was right behind them and people viewed it as the team improving rapidly and/or predicting their climb later in the season. But a dancer Takahashi was not, so I never got the complete clash of the use of ‘evidence’ from these results.

 

[Frau Muller]

I want the Lithuanians to deserve a medal…not be propped up just to make the crowd happy.

 

[Spikefan]

ok but what if we sacrificed Rocky what then

Deal.

 

[taz'smum]

go Allison & Saulius!!

They are lovely people in real life, I would scream if they make the podium.

If this was fair, L/B should be silver (assuming everyone skates as expected) and the lithuanians still get the home bronze

 

[LeafOnTheWind]

I am so tired of sheer fabrics in every discipline of skating. Now we have a man with a sheer back. Why?

ETA: If they are so desperate to show off their bodies why don't we go back to the days when everyone was just half naked? Forget the sheer fabric and go full on skin.

 

[genevieve]

I am dreaming of a podium that somehow includes les French and Reed

 

[Sally1214]

Is it just me .... or is Chris finding this event "exciting?"

 

[Rukia]

HI DAD

THIS IS FOR YOU

 

[Vagabond]

They are lovely people in real life, I would scream if they make the podium.

You and 10,000 Lithuanians in the arena.

 

[beepbeep]

HI DAD

THIS IS FOR YOU

This breaks me every time

 

[Wyliefan]

HI DAD

THIS IS FOR YOU

Kudos to them for being able to skate to the memory of a late dad. I'd have a teary meltdown in their position.

 

[Rukia]

oh yeah me too I'd be a wreck

 

[PRlady]

There is just nothing special about this FD.

 

[thvu]

The Taschlers are falling behind GOE wise right now relative to Demougeot & Le Mercier.

 

[Vagabond]

Does the Czech Federation allow skaters who aren't siblings to do Ice Dance together? Asking for a friend.

 

[Ananas Astra]

Kudos to them for being able to skate to the memory of a late dad. I'd have a teary meltdown in their position.

When did their father die and how? I must've missed that.

 

[Wyliefan]

TES a bit low.

They are SPENT.

 

[thvu]

Those one foot steps were not great - really sloppy exit and they slooooowed down to a near halt. The Taschlers started out this program so smoothly, but now it's getting rough. The transitions between the elements are hesitant. And he catches his blade on the choreographic slide...

 

[TAHbKA]

Tashlerovs put me to sleep. Afraid after LopBri it will become a coma

 

[tony]

I’m not on the edge of my chair with excitement over the Tacschlers, but they are so fast and proficient, and their skating skills are phenomenal as well.

I think they are the best of what we’ve seen so far, even above the French. Give my favorite French the composition and performance mark, but IMO the Taschlers really delivered with the skating foundation behind it.

Aside from him almost toe picking into the final slide movement

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

This is the best I've seen Taschlers skate, and this program is lovely.
But I'd still have them third.

There's quite a gap between Taschlers, D/lM and T/V vs. Davis/Smolkin. And I'd have the Mrazeks higher if it wasn't for the fall.
