Worlds 2025 Free Dance: “Last Dance”

[Karen-W]

Is it wrong that I was hoping she would topple over into the judges? Maybe that would put a stop to this sort of nonsense.

I was hoping all season long that this would happen and cause them to take it out.

 

[NinjaTurtles]

Question for those in the arena - is the audience clapping along with the percussive beat? It was hard to tell.

I just don't care for this program at all, but at least they've stopped the upward movement of DavSmo.

Yes, but not always well.

[Wyliefan]

First overall. But second in the free is BS. ETA: Oh, I forgot, second to the Finns, not the Georgians. OK, that makes a little more sense.

 

[Karen-W]

Still definite dumpage - behind TurkVers by a considerable amount in the FD.

 

[Colonel Green]

Next up, my vote for Best Costume at the ISU Awards.

 

[Vagabond]

If a couple keeps getting better, their scores should be going up....

 

[Karen-W]

First overall. But second in the free is BS.

Oh, come on... Behind TurkVers' masterful tango? Maybe not by 3 points, but not unfair.

 

[Allen]

Olivia is really giving the intensity today.

 

[floridaice]

The control in those twizzles

 

[Matryeshka]

Still definite dumpage - behind TurkVers by a considerable amount in the FD.

You know what, that's fair. TurkVers FD is just GOOD, and they skated it really well. L/B's is really good too, but 1. not as good as T/V and 2. they just seemed again a bit tentative, not full out. It's the Georgians score that's

 

[Wyliefan]

I know nothing and care less about Dune, but that program is so good!

Spectacular program. The elements are highlights in every sense of the word, and use the music, and the theme to maximum effect.

123.71 = 1st Place
200.92 = 1st Place

 

[tony]

Should be pushing 124. Captivating.

 

[canbelto]

This program reminds me of that Klimova and Ponomarenko Lawrence of Arabia program.

 

[just tuned in]

That flew by. Gorg.

 

[Braulio]

YEEEEEES!!!

 

[Citlali]

Olivia/Tim

 

[Wyliefan]

Aww, they look like they can't believe they did it!

 

[tangerine dream]

They killed it.

 

[NinjaTurtles]

Best designed FD of the year

 

[MacMadame]

Oh, I forgot... very literal costumes.

Is it me or are these teams skating kind of conservative today? (It's probably me.)

 

[Karen-W]

Olivia couldn't help from smiling after they got done with that last lift and knew all they need was to get through the choreo step seq clean! That program is !

 

[floridaice]

what was Tim saying? Can anyone read lips in profile?

 

[MacMadame]

brilliant/ super

 

[Elisheba]

Chris, after getting his 45s out in the RD, is now advising us to take our handkerchiefs out

 

[Rukia]

I don't think Tim wants to leave the ice

 

[Primorskaya]

Fabulous. Tim is as sad as us to say goodbye to this programme <3

 

[Matryeshka]

I love them just sitting there, taking it all in. Are S/D the best skaters? No. But the power of a great program cannot be denied.

 

[Dave of the North]

Nothing says Dune like the Olympic rings tattoo.
