NHK 2023 Rhythm Dance - Big (GOE) in Japan

[once_upon]

I get 80's costume from her and 50's from him

 

[genevieve]

ok, Turkkila's costume is actually '80s, but.... not really for Taylor Dayne?

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Operation Win a Medal Somewhere Other Than Finland.

R/A's score definitely increased that challenge.

 

[thvu]

The leg position of the 2nd twizzles is really ugly.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

If anybody wants to see me and a random drunk girl, front and center with Taylor Dayne last summer, DM me

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Look, we cannot ask for too much. It's one of the few that is 80s at all.

 

[FiveRinger]

I kind of love her skirt or tutu or whatever that thing is

That's 80s Madonna. But they're skating to Taylor Dayne. Go figure

 

[Rukia]

I feel like the Finns are always a little high in the knees for my liking. Makes them look stiffer than some other teams.

 

[tony]

A whole lot more difficulty in this program than R/A just had, but they don't have the speed or ease either. I think the midline maybe is choreographically a little too ambitious. There are some crazy edge change attempts there but the levels were at 2/1.

Lola and Theo should be a lot closer to the bronze medal picture than they are going to be.

 

[Ka3sha]

Definitely team R/S for Europeans bronze, I doubt I have ever seen a bended knee and decent edge from Juulia

 

[FiveRinger]

Has anyone attempted Madonna this season? A successful effort would have been epic.

 

[thvu]

So, the Finns skate closer together, and the transitions are alot smoother, but the impression I get is that they're slower. They aren't hauling themselves across the ice like Reed & Ambrulevicius are trying to do.

I really don't like the choreography of this program. There's just alot missing. The choreography is just so much pointing, and even then, the pointing is half-hearted. This wasn't their best outing in general. It felt timid, edges were shallow. The program may have been more complex than the Lithuanians, but the impression was worse.

 

[Karen-W]

So, anyone want to bet that there are family photos of a teenage PMM wearing the exact same outfit as Versluis is tonight?

 

[peibeck]

Mattias arms aren't distracting the tech panel from his feet.

 

[Amy L]

I get 80's costume from her and 50's from him

No man has been man enough to skate in 1980s athletic shorts.

 

[Colonel Green]

Harris & Chan.

 

[genevieve]

Look, we cannot ask for too much. It's one of the few that is 80s at all.

I made my peace with it - she's at a high school dance and Taylor Dayne just happens to come on amid OMD and Tears For Fears

 

[Wyliefan]

Harris/Chan.

 

[tony]

Harris & Chan.

Harris/Chan.

And they are rapidly dropping down the ranks

 

[FiveRinger]

Harris/Chan.

I missed it. How was it?

 

[Theatregirl1122]

That's a big oof.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

That’s Maurizio? I don’t recognize him

any chance we get to see him and Babs next to each other

 

[her grace]

Finns a whole heck of a lot cleaner than Lithuanians, but R/A had more charisma.

I wish Lopareva/Brissaud would beat both of them at Euros, but not expecting that to happen.

 

[Colonel Green]

Marie-France sends her regards, Maurizio.

 

[Wyliefan]

I missed it. How was it?

Well, she definitely gets to do her diva thing!

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Oh my god. I had repressed the absolute crime of a costume Lilah is wearing.

 

[FiveRinger]

No man has been man enough to skate in 1980s athletic shorts.

I had a pair in every color as a kid, with the footies with the pom poms to match. Good times....sigh....

 

[thvu]

The twizzle pattern was designed to be small after the first set. They definitely know their limitations.

And wow ridiculous GOE for that too.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Whereas I don’t think sweet dreams and Michael Jackson medleys should be used for this since they’re done every year anyways this is one of the more entertaining rhythm dances this year. In my opinion.

 

[Rukia]

she has some of the strangest blade action I've ever seen
