I wonder if it’s nerves. There has been some interesting results and scores in ice dance throughout the GP series. Could be the potential to move up (or down) although not so far.

 

[Karen-W]

The team that blew them worst are still first. The “rankings” didn’t change much in the judges minds despite mistakes.

Hmmmm... I think Lolo & Nik's error was worse than Lilah & Lewis', but YMMV.

 

[skategal]

Mark and Ted talking about how geezerly this group is being in their 30s.

 

[skategal]

Hmmmm... I think Lolo & Nik's error was worse than Lilah & Lewis', but YMMV.

And somehow they still managed to beat LaLa.

 

[marbri]

At the risk of sounding like a homer of these 6 teams I think the 3 Canadian teams have the best RDs with regards to executing the theme.

 

[victorskid]

Maybe Montreal to China jet lag just isn't working for these teams

For the Brits, it was China, GBR (to compete at Nationals), and then back to China

 

[Karen-W]

And somehow they still managed to beat LaLa.

Eh. .08 ahead is essentially a tie in ID.

 

[miffy]

I knew it was a bad idea for F/G to compete 3 weeks in a row Stupid British Nationals scheduling! They need to move it back to January again.

Or be like most of the rest of Europe and hold it the week after the GPF?

Yep, absolutely nuts schedule they've had.

 

[skategal]

+10 for Charlene’s eyeshadow

 

[airgelaal]

We need a hero
Agree!!!

 

[Karen-W]

Hey, look at that! GuiFab made it through their twizzles!

 

[thvu]

Finally. I should have taken @Karen-W 's bet.

 

[airgelaal]

Hey, look at that! GuiFab made it through their twizzles!

Against All Odds

 

[Firedancer]

Clean Twizzles!

 

[swissskate]

this is how you do twizzles

 

[thvu]

Fab straight-line lift. So much control, and choreographed really well with the music. It's a shame it got similar GOE to the Danadian's lift with Nikolaj's wobbly balance.

[airgelaal]

Well, will there be a new meme from Barbara today?

 

[PRlady]

Great job from G/F!

 

[Ka3sha]

G/F parallel steps are clearly the best in the world, the closeness , the edges and knee work

 

[marbri]

And with that competent performances G/F and judges/tech panel say not today F/G.

 

[Frau Muller]

Charlene & Marco fantastic!!! Coach Babs is happy!

 

[skategal]

Very well skated! Give them all the marks.

 

[peibeck]

Charlene and Marco!

I still feel like everyone is skating a bit tentatively though.

 

[Lizziebeth]

I loved that! Woke me up!

 

[Wyliefan]

Clean twizzles at last! I'm rejoicing with Mark!
