Worlds 2024 Free Dance: ‘The Moors of Montreal’

[Karen-W]

Also - take that haterz who didn't think CarPon had it in them to finish 7th! Sure, it took some help from FBSoer in the RD but, once again, USA Ice Dance is strong as can be with our #2 team finishing easily in the top 10!

The details on Marjorie’s dress look amazing in person.

Sorry it's really bad to invoke sacred in this, but I hate this program.

Yes her dress is absolutely incredible and shimmers and shines so well in the rink!

 

[Wyliefan]

In the interest of not taking root in my chair, I've moved to the treadmill, the TV, and Ben. Hate having commercials, though.

 

[quartz]

I adore this program.

 

[canbelto]

Marjorie has very deep edges.

 

[pat c]

lala - she is the rose,he is the stem.

 

[TAHbKA]

Can Lajoie/Lagha be named CAN n.1 before they are 40? About now would be great

 

[MacMadame]

lala - she is the rose,he is the stem.

THANK YOU. I could not figure out what he was. I think he's also a petal now that I think of it.

 

[Rukia]

2025 lala canada #1 you heard it here first

 

[Steph]

This music bores the hell out of me but man, these two can skate

Zach with the smallest trace of chest hair showing, I approve.

This team comes out and nails it time and time again. I sound like a broken record but it's just the reality of their consistency and it surely is going noticed now. LOVE how they hold the forward outside edges in their one-foot sequence and then get down in the knees enough to push with just as much speed as they continue on. That's really what I love, those extra nuances that take things to the next level. Twizzles really kept up all of the speed, flow, and especially distance across the ice. So much changes of pattern and direction that is really unexpected, too.

I'm just in love. This SHOULD be fighting for a medal. This season. Skating skills should be in the 9.25 range. Composition should be in the same range too.

Piper and Paul are always first in my heart but I can't even disagree with this.

 

[quartz]

Stunning. A little tentative to start, but they built the performance, and the speed towards as the program continued.

125.71 = 1st Place
208.01 = 1st Place

 

[Matryeshka]

The LaLas have never been my personal favorite of the Canadian skaters, although I usually like their RDs, but there is no denying they are DAMN good. The irrational judges in my head, while not happy about it, are OK with this going into first ahead of French 1 and 2.

 

[Vagabond]

In Canada, 40 is the new 21.

 

[marbri]

BRAVO
I held my breath all the way through that.
So so very happy they were able to come here and compete like that in their hometown after their struggles.!!!

 

[Karen-W]

Just mesmerizing for LajLag! I'm tearing up for them. Exquisite.

 

[JoannaLouise]

Wow, that flew by. They were mesmerizing.

 

[peibeck]

LaLa: Beautiful confidence and freedom. Even Grumpycat smiles at the end of that performance!!!

[Frau Muller]

LaLa - Bravi! To my favorite Canadian team here.

What a lovely rose dress!

 

[PRlady]

I’ve become a real admirer of LaLa this year. Such nuanced choreo and they express it so organically. Really lovely.

And Piper/Paul

 

[her grace]

Fantastic! They should be in the mix and not just for 5th.
