[TanithandBenFan]

When you're at a skating event and you're in your hotel room watching skating on your laptop.

 

[her grace]

Reed/A

Neat twizzles, good spacing between partners, lost some speed toward the end

 

[Belsornia]

Allison and Saulius not quite managing the good time vibe of the drunk pensioners outside my local arena when Rod Stewart was playing last year.

 

[her grace]

Lagouge/C

Slower twizzles than R/A, nice security in lift, think they could improve clarity in steps, though levels were okay.

 

[Belsornia]

Nice to see Maxim Nikitin in the kiss and cry (with Verhaegh / van Geffen).

 

[her grace]

Soucisse/F

She fell on twizzles, just not seeing a lot of acceleration or glide, skated small today

 

[Belsornia]

Firus laughing at the score but that performance was rough, not just the twizzle fall. (And IMO a bad music choice for them)

Aversano/Bennett are a lower level team but they’ve got a degree of charisma I wasn’t expecting from his previous partnerships. Lots more finger pointing choreo from team Igor.

 

[her grace]

Orihara/P

There’s a fluidity to their dance moves that is well done, nice, close twizzles, a little rough on lift dismount, fun program

 

[Sylvia]

Green/Parsons' program music has been published in their Team USA bio in the Fan Zone:
RD: "These Boots Are Made for Walking (SILO x Martin Wave Remix)" by The Supremes and Martin Wave and "Soul Bossa Nova" by Quincy Jones
FD: "Spiegel im Spiegel" by Arvo Pärt performed by Angele Dubeau and La Pietà and "Dance Me to the End of Love" by Douglas Dare

 

[Karen-W]

3rd warmup group is on the ice.

 

[her grace]

Pate/Bye

Les marrieds, good speed going into twizzles, some upper body choreo during pattern, energetic performance

 

[Wyliefan]

I don't like that first set of twizzles for Nadiia and Peter. Even when done right, they look awkward.

 

[her grace]

Bashynska/B

Different angle on free leg in twizzles, smooth lift, a few sticky moments—didn’t look quite as ready as the other teams

ETA: only level 2 and 3 on twizzles, perhaps should re-think those

 

[Belsornia]

I don't like that first set of twizzles for Nadiia and Peter. Even when done right, they look awkward.

Yeah, I was unsure if it was the leg position or a wobble but the levels suggest the latter.

I hope the uninspiring RDs for Soucisse/Firus and BaBeau mean that Carol and co saved all their inspiration for Gilles/Poirier.

 

[her grace]

I’m not very impressed by choreo from Carol Lane teams this season, these programs are falling flat.

 

[Marta24]

Yikes...Babeau's score.

 

[Karen-W]

Yikes...Babeau's score.

Oh dear... That's ROUGH. That's not moving them up the GP Alternates list.

 

[Belsornia]

Penny Coomes’ old dress on Natalia Pallu Neves?

 

[Wyliefan]

Caroline looks cute, but she should have gone with the "tall boots" look for this song.

Also, I'm not keen on that cover. Go Nancy or go home.

 

[Wyliefan]

The program's not bad, but they look a little rusty (unsurprisingly). Michael's winded. ETA: Make that Michael's VERY winded.

 

[Spikefan]

I like that program, if they stay healthy it should be great by Nationsls

 

[her grace]

Green/Parsons

Nice twizzles, good steps, oh a fake-out fall from Caroline, she’s growing as a performer and he is blending more into the background

He does not look okay getting off the ice

 

[Wyliefan]

I guessed they'd go into second, and I was right. Looks like they didn't even make it to the K&C. I really hope Michael's all right!

 

[victorskid]

Green/Parsons

Nice twizzles, good steps, oh a fake-out fall from Caroline, she’s growing as a performer and he is blending more into the background

He does not look okay getting off the ice

And they didn't go to the Kiss 'n Cry for their scores.

 

[Spikefan]

They never went to KnC, not good.

 

[Belsornia]

Yeah, I thought he looked a little stiff, but also I was wondering about his knee.

The programme is fun (and yay, not disco) and I expect they’ll be able to commit more as the season goes on. I’m going to think she’s falling every time she sits down in the midline though.

Think behind Reed/Ambrulevicius is probably right.

 

[Karen-W]

I rewound because I missed the start of the GreenP - I like the concept of the program and think it's a good fit for them, stylistically. Like CarPon, it stands out in a sea of disco. The lift looked a lot slow and careful, which is definitely worrisome. Hopefully they'll be back up to full speed by Nats.
