Worlds 2024 Free Dance: ‘The Moors of Montreal’

[Rukia]

lol this is going to beat lala

 

[peibeck]

F/G: After LaLa the cheese just doesn't compare. I doubt the judges will agree though.

 

[Carolla5501]

I’ll give this couple credit. They figured out the way to get good scores is to get the audience onboard and that covers up for their lack of everything else. I’m over them.

Oof. Lilah got up on her toepick during the 2nd set of twizzles with almost no forward momentum. That definitely needs a review.

It’s ice dance. We already know how it’s going to end. Why bother to do reviews

They skated that as well as they could, and this program is crowd pleaser. It's not dance, but it's fun.

126.32 = 1st Place
210.92 = 1st Place

 

[overedge]

They have the audience.

Which would be great if this was Holiday On Ice or Stars On Ice.

 

[Spikefan]

Judges grinning, blech. Crowd into it. Mario program next year Charlene and Marco.

 

[tony]

He sure was flinging her legs all over the place on the last two elements

Their excitement is off the charts, there's no denying that.

NOW- TES is almost the same as Lajoie and Lagha. Their performance score is going to be off the charts and I can't really fault it, but please get it right and score the other two realistically.

 

[Kateri]

I expected the brits to start with a sbs 2a

I really do think in another universe, they're the best pairs team the UK ever had, and I wish I was in it!

 

[Karen-W]

LOL - the GOEs were climbing higher and higher on that last element as the TES tracker left the screen. So ridiculous. That was a flat performance compared to their best outing back at NHK.

 

[skateboy]

This REALLY shouldn't lead... but I did enjoy the show.

 

[overedge]

Mark, ice dance is about skating skills. You can't compensate for not having that with other things in the program. Please stop trying to polish a

 

[slicekw]

We played Rocky music for our halftime show in high school, so this gives me flashbacks. It’s a nice contrast to swans.

 

[TAHbKA]

I would put the Brits about the Czechs.

 

[Frau Muller]

Mark prefaced this by promising “Its final outing!” HALLELUJAH! May it be so! Bye, Rocky!

 

[skategal]

Watching from the 200 level it’s very clear that Rocky is an easier FD than almost everyone else’s.

LaLa were gorgeous.

Maybe it will go down on review. She says hopefully.

SBS 2S!!!

 

[thvu]

The ending got a little rough. Just slight mistiming in the transitions between and into the elements.

Ice dancing hasn't been about skating skills for a long time, so he's just an extension of what the judges do anyways.

 

[once_upon]

And yet I bet the crowd will be on their feet at the end thanks to the last minute's music.

No they weren't. I don't like this dance, haven't all season but to have the audience stand for Sor, I want every single other dance team to get a 7 minute ovation

 

[Wyliefan]

That ain't right.

 

[floridaice]

F/G: After LaLa the cheese just doesn't compare. I doubt the judges will agree though.

It doesn't compare to the last 4 skates -- which are the only ones I've seen today.

 

[sap5]

This is a crime.

 

[shan]

Thank goodness it's not a SB, but this shouldn't be above L/L.

 

[Karen-W]

There is no defending this program, Mark. Just, no. I don't need high art from ice dance necessarily but I don't need tripe like this either.

 

[quartz]

Above LaLa is effin bullshit.

 

[Rukia]

best skating skills of the day so far don't you know

He’s paid by ISU who wants to defend the judging what’s he supposed to say the judges have their eyes closed

This is why dance at some point is going to be thrown out of the Olympics because it’s not even legitimately fair. It’s all about reputation. They probably could’ve fallen down and still landed where they were gonna land.

 

[overedge]

Judges grinning, blech. Crowd into it. Mario program next year Charlene and Marco.

Marco in overalls and a big fake mustache chasing Charlene around the ice to "beep boop beep boop" would rule.

 

[Vagabond]

Fear & Gibson are lucky to be British. In some countries, they would not make the World Team.
