Junior Ice Dance - RD & FD

[Rukia]

Whoa! Behind the Peals? I was not expecting that!

the elves reign supreme

 

[Amy L]

Coach said "It is what it is." This is gonna be a grouchy pewter.

 

[Spikefan]

Movement in Ice Dance!

 

[Karen-W]

Not sure what I think of this nude/gold dress on Leah. I mean, this whole look for them is much better than the blue costumes they had earlier in the season, but...

 

[her grace]

So are Peals going to junior worlds then?

Tough season for Hauer/Starr

 

[Wyliefan]

Not sure what I think of this nude/gold dress on Leah. I mean, this whole look for them is much better than the blue costumes they had earlier in the season, but...

I liked the blue. I always like blue. She got rid of two blue dresses in one season and I'm bereft.

 

[Karen-W]

Neset/Markelov are going for the rare hat-trick in Jr ice dance titles.

 

[Amy L]

Not sure what I think of this nude/gold dress on Leah. I mean, this whole look for them is much better than the blue costumes they had earlier in the season, but...

The nude is kinda clashy with the super bright white shirt on Artem.

 

[Wyliefan]

Leah has such a lovely way of moving -- very precise and yet very free and flowing. It adds a lot to the impression they make.

 

[Rukia]

I like this much better than their rd but there's also something very methodical about their step sequences. I want to see them let go.

 

[Karen-W]

So are Peals going to junior worlds then?

Tough season for Hauer/Starr

Probably. But who knows what the USFS Int'l Committee will do. They could rationalize that without the fluke fall at the end that Hauer/Starr would have beat the Peals and choose them.

 

[Wyliefan]

Holy MOLY, the way he just swings her head down near the ice.

 

[Karen-W]

That program just flew.

 

[peibeck]

Neset/Markelov: okay, just give Jenny Kirk and the hawt Russian kid the gold, silver, bronze and pewter. I have spoken.

 

[jlai]

No comparison needed for our jgpf champ.
I must say I don’t understand the scoring

 

[her grace]

Neset/Markelov

There’s something imminently watchable about them, just a splendid combination of technique and performance. And everything so secure and finished.

 

[PRlady]

Leah has such a lovely way of moving -- very precise and yet very free and flowing. It adds a lot to the impression they make.

She’s terrific. And he’s my choice to replace Jean-Luc as favorite male dancer.

 

[MacMadame]

Neset/Markelov: okay, just give Jenny Kirk and the hawt Russian kid the gold, silver, bronze and pewter. I have spoken.

The judges were listening.

 

[Wyliefan]

Peacock: Stay tuned for the medals, except not.

 

[Spikefan]

Boo, no medal ceremony.

 

[shan]

Neset/Markelov: okay, just give Jenny Kirk and the hawt Russian kid the gold, silver, bronze and pewter. I have spoken.

She does remind me of Jenny Kirk with this hairstyle.

Neset/Markelov are so talented!

[Wyliefan]

Not one team in the top 5, except N/M, stayed in the same spot. Talk about movement!

 

[BlueRidge]

A lot to enjoy in that event. Love Neset & Markelov.

 

[peibeck]

She does remind me of Jenny Kirk with this hairstyle.

The nude/gold sparkly dress gives me Jenny's "Chicago" program vibes too.

 

[shan]

Yes!! Aww! I loved that program for Jenny.

 

[Yuri]

Wow, so much movement among the final group! So happy for the Peals to pull up TWO spots in the free dance to win bronze.

I agree that Neset & Markelov are on their own planet with their 25 point spread over the rest of the field. Really enjoyed them.
