JGP #5 Budapest - Ice Dance RD & FD

[Belsornia]

Did he grow a lot recently? They aren’t taking advantage of the big height difference in the lifts and there were a couple of moments in the steps where he gave the impression his legs are a few inches longer than he’s used to.

 

[Wyliefan]

Baby Brits are so freaking adorable, I can't even.

 

[Karen-W]

Ashlie Slatter is such a diva star already. That's all.

 

[Wyliefan]

The tiniest diva.

 

[PRlady]

They are going to have such great storytelling FDs when they grow up. Like the Kerrs but without the sibling limitations.

 

[Wyliefan]

Twizzles were slooooow.

She looks exhausted. Reminds me of when Charlie White would leave it all on the ice and then they all but had to forklift him off.

 

[PRlady]

Twizzles were slooooow.

And he tripped near the end.

 

[quartz]

what a face she has!

 

[Wyliefan]

And he tripped near the end.

Oh, I didn't see that.

 

[airgelaal]

I think they're too unpolished today.

 

[her grace]

Slatter/Ongay-Perez

Drifted apart during twizzles in the steps, she's a rockstar in expression and they do really well with connecting with each other--like I can believe they are actually dancing and not just performing choreography, some little stumbles and less polished moments, throughout, though.

 

[Belsornia]

Ash & Atl looking more confident than in Sheff or Linz. Hit some great positions but spinning through treacle. Aargh endless baby formula ad for this childless lady. Back in time to see him stumble and a messy ending lift.

ETA How does Ted have such trouble pronouncing Atl?! It has 3 letters!

 

[Wyliefan]

Oh, they like that score!

 

[Wyliefan]

OK, this has not been a good day for baby twizzles. Let's buck that trend, baby French.

 

[airgelaal]

Well, it isn't as if there isn't plenty of room in the JGPF for two American teams this season.

But, don't worry too much - I think PinPog are looking very strong to make it too.

I do not worry. Junior successes in a large federation do not make much sense. It is better to be less successful, but represent a small federation

 

[Lizziebeth]

Little Brits have so much charisma! They seemed a little tired today to me. But still energetic and fun. Look forward to watching them for years to come!

 

[Wyliefan]

French look a little less steady than usual too. Of course, I'm sure all the kids are starting to get tired by this point in the season.

He was a little hesitant in the twizzles, even, and they're usually super-strong there.

 

[airgelaal]

The technical specialist seems to be very kind today

 

[PRlady]

Speechless.

 

[her grace]

Mouaden/Bigot

age-appropriate program choice, like how they get to go out there and have fun, movement is nicely extended and finished. Stationary lift was a little slow. Great job. Medal?

 

[Wyliefan]

The technical specialist seems to be very kind today

Can we time-travel him or her to Nebelhorn yesterday?

 

[Karen-W]

So ballsy of the Baby French to end on their twizzles.

My only nitpick is that I think her skirt is way to much and sort of swallows her up.

 

[Belsornia]

Huge levels on the steps! This programme isn’t as great as their RD (wish they would change the hunchy choreo) but a great improvement in delivery in only a few weeks.

 

[Wyliefan]

And they got their medal! Well done!

 

[quartz]

Awww…happy tears!

 

[Amy L]

awwww happy baby Frenchies. They are a super fun team!

 

[Karen-W]

The YWOG ice dance battle between the Baby Brits, Baby French and Baby Americans is going to be GREAT!

 

[Wyliefan]

Oh shoot!

 

[Belsornia]

Enthusiastic screaming (I assume from their teammates) for some very lacklustre twizzles.

 

[Karen-W]

PedChen safely through the twizzles - only L3 for both but I can understand the deliberate slowing them down.... And then she takes a fall... FFS.
