Mrazkova/Mrazek also brought back an old RD from 2021-22:

[airgelaal]

Are they preparing for the 70s?

 

[airgelaal]

Moulin Rouge. It was so boring without you

 

[Sylvia]

“True” is from the 1980s.

Koshiro Shimada’s “Come What May” (from Moulin Rouge!) was his EX last season. Nice 3A!

ETA:

Janse van Rensburg comes out skating to "How Far I'll Go" from Moana, joined by a scary wigged & crazy costumed Steffan (eta that he took the wig off later, whew) !! He skated to “You’re Welcome.”

Jennifer then brought out her dog (audience liked that!) and they skated a brief encore to "How Far I'll Go."

INTERMISSION

 

[airgelaal]

Oh, dear. At least it's entertaining

 

[Sylvia]

Lucas Broussard skated very well to last season’s SP - “Adios Nonino" by Forever Tango - another nice round of applause for him.

 

[Sylvia]

A Star Wars EX by Kimmy Repond with Darth Vader voiceover! (“I am your father!”) - brings out the light saber for a bit then sets it down to jump again.

 

[airgelaal]

Oh god, I didn't recognize Kimmy. I kept wondering who this blonde was

 

[airgelaal]

Tomono and +1

 

[Sylvia]

Koshiro Shimada was Kazuki's +1 - he came out in sunglasses and Koshiro pushed him in a chair at the beginning. Such an upbeat, FUN number and the audience LOVED it!!!

Turkkila/Versluis now are skating to a female-male duet/serious ballad (in Finnish?).

 

[Sylvia]

Isabeau is skating to Madonna’s “Material Girl” that she debuted on the U.S. Stars on Ice tour.

 

[airgelaal]

Material girl loves gold the most

 

[Sylvia]

Fear/Gibson reprised their last season's FD to "Born This Way" by Lady Gaga.

ETA:

New(?) EX by Adam Siao Him Fa to "Daylight" by David Kushner - included a backflip at the end.

 

[Sylvia]

Hase/Volodin delight the audience with the catchy "Feel It Still" by Portugal. The Man to close the solos in the gala.

ETA: Plus a brief encore - throw 3S nicely landed!

 

[airgelaal]

And where are the Lithuanians?

 

[Sylvia]

Maybe they had to catch a flight home? R/A weren't listed in the program.

ETA: Gold medalists "jumping on the ice" photo time!

 

[Wyliefan]

Isabeau and Lucas "coaching" each other.

And an athlete too. Look at the number of little hops, leaps, "air" jumps he does throughout. It must take a lot of energy. Beautiful skate.

It directs me to the App Store…but thanks for pointing it out. I’ll search for a No-App way to hear it. Good to know about it.
