2023 Nebelhorn Trophy - Ice Dance RD & FD

[Marta24]

Have the Finns ever done a Ballet? Seems like a miss, if they haven't.

 

[BlueRidge]

Not sure about these arm movements

 

[marbri]

Finns trying to land planes out there,

 

[Rukia]

I thought the ending part was cool but they took a while to get there. I'm sure they'll score just fine though.

 

[Karen-W]

LOL - I took one look at their costumes in the warm-up and knew exactly what we were getting from TurkVer and... shock to end all shocks, I was not wrong. Tinkly piano. Oh, wait, now we've got some emo song. That was a pretty cool lift. I mean, this is still pretty much what I expected - contemporary, though maybe not totally lyrical. This is, actually, what GreenP wish they were doing but aren't.

 

[Karen-W]

oh his twizzles were a mess and mostly not twizzles

I just saw the twizzles on replay and dang... Mess is kind. Bless.

Seems like the scores are taking a long time...

 

[Rukia]

lol this boy can't twizzle at all he went completely up to his toepick rip

The Finns lost me and I fell asleep.

 

[Karen-W]

Hey, Allison - what's the point of having detailing on the back of your dress if you're just going to cover it up with a low ponytail?

 

[Rukia]

I appreciate that R/A are just like yeah we're the weird kids let us live

 

[airgelaal]

And I was hoping that the Lithuanians have something entertaining

 

[BlueRidge]

I don't know what that was but I liked it.

 

[Amy L]

Gawd, she got a text at the end.

 

[Rukia]

that was sadly less fun than I thought it would be. The music doesn't really go anywhere.

 

[PRlady]

I’m not at all sure what that was but it was well-skated. She’s really a pro.

 

[airgelaal]

Oh, the Lithuanians decided to wake me up

 

[marbri]

I usually appreciate these guys but that was heavy and

And would it kill the organising committee here to have 1 or 2 flowergirls?

Totally didn't pay any attention to them at all. Music was too meh and I can't be bothered with mid-tier Euros teams who are bound to be surpassed by other teams soon enough (I'm lookin' at you, Czechia sibling squad).

 

[Rukia]

idk listening to them admonish the skaters to go pick up their stuff is making me laugh every time

German Fed is broke.

Budapest also has self-service.

I'd flip them off on principal and tell them it ain't my job

Lithuanians FD 116.93 Total 190.55 2nd

 

[airgelaal]

the last but not the least

 

[Rukia]

lolol I like this program but grabbing the boards and swanning right in the judges faces makes me laugh

 

[Karen-W]

Mrazeks - another program where the music does the heavy lifting in the storytelling. They're good, but this program really does nothing to develop their stylistic identity as a team and set them apart from the rest of the field. Like, who really believes that this is a team that will be known for the balletic style in 5 years? No one.

 

[BlueRidge]

Nicely done for Mrazeks

They apparently wanted to do a Waltz as FD. There is so much Waltz music out there. I really don't understand why they would choose Swan Lake.

Sure, it was all nice, but it wasn't very exciting and it didn't take us anywhere unexpected or new or leave us breathless wanting more, did it?

I'm going to be very chagrined if this keeps them ahead of CarPon overall.
