What on earth does that hashtag mean? Challenge is at the end I think. The good thing about being really bad at a few different languages is making my own reality so my wild guess would be horseradish-eating challenge. (ooh I tried google translate and I think there may be some bad word in here somewhere!)

I wish I knew! @Ka3sha, can you help?

Hase/Seegert were so wonderful yesterday! The fall was totally silly, but everything else was glorious. They have come such a long way! I was their fan already when they were gangly and confused and messy, I can't put my finger on what it was, they just had something so cute about them, and look at them now:love: And her dress is one of the best of the season. Hope they have a great FS, it has caused them trouble so far this season.

J/C were very good. I'm not amazed by them anymore, as they keep doing the same thing (one more former fan to the choir:lol:), but still. Really happy for them.

T/M.... I want to hug Evgenia. She looks constantly miserable. That was one awkward KnC, no emotions towards each other, no connection what so ever. Did they break up or are they still a couple? Rach is really good for them, I want to love the program, but the recording is so frantic it's on speed, and sounds like it's played on a cheap Casio keyboard. It must be the worst recording of Rach2 EVER! Where on earth did they find it? There are like a zillion others.

DM/G - :love: I want a medal for them so badly! So badly! They had more energy than the French yesterday. Soooo close to T/M in score. How will I live through tonight?

B/K - LOVE THEM! And Moskvina! She trained them so well, they are fast, fun, fresh, effortless and strong - that twist, and with lots of personality. Future of Russia! (Together with lots of others ;) )

(((Ziegler/Kiefer))) Miriam's tears broke my heart, it must be so hard for them. Severin wrote on IG that his sister was with them in he KnC and he was very grateful for that. Agree about their programs not being the most exciting this year, but last years short were fab, and they can do that again. They also keep improving everything, I really enjoy watching them. You all know I'm a fan :D

The rest... Portugese/Russian/Croatian guy is still :smokin:, Brits outfits were :yikes:: hairy chest+all that bling is :scream:, so is the little farm on the prarie hairband+emo look.

I agree with all of this.
There were rumors that Tarasova/Morozov broke up at the beginning of last year; I don’t know if that’s true. Either way, I feel bad for them.

I can't even begin to describe how shocked this makes me. :eek:

What? Boikova/Kozlovskii are excellent together! She is such a star! Pavliuchenko is adorable and I think she deserves better than Khodykin, but I wouldn’t break up B/K for her.

This is originally part of a post I made elsewhere, but FWIW, off the ice and out of the heat of the moment of competition, they still as of late seem to be happy and connected to each other.

This was posted as a story on the ISU instagram earlier today, I think from before the medal ceremony. They came across as distant in the K&C, but they seem to be literally clinging to each other here:

The GPF also didn't go well for them, but they seem happy here--Vladimir's even smiling. From davesskatingphoto.com

This was their part of a video that was made at Russian nationals with the skaters giving Christmas greetings. She's looking at him with goofy eyes.
hxxps://www.instagram.com/p/Br1v314h9nY/ (change the xx to tt)

Then, the at about 5:42 during the medal ceremony at Russian nationals, he rubs her arm in a way that does not read as platonic skating partners.
https://youtu.be/XgZKbHemBCo?t=341

They also seemed happy and relaxed when they were in Italy for the show they did a few weeks ago.

In experience as a grown up for almost two decades, if two people have broken up, they're not doing cuddly hugs, or making goofy eyes, or being handsy in a medal ceremony. I think nothing has changed with them off-ice out of competition.

I think they came into this season with a lot of skating baggage from last season and then probably have a lot of external pressure on themselves this season. It seems like with each progressive imperfect skate, they both just withdraw and shutdown in the moment. It's a recipe to feel and look miserable competing. Most every skater has a season like this at some point, and most of them pull out of it eventually and are stronger for it.
 
So, almost all US nationals videos are already blocked :angryfire
Thanks so much @Braulio for providing us nontheless with your uploads.
At least I still got some of the ladies, before they were removed.

Not much to say here, but I am very happy K/O'S are leading. I am dying for the Knierims knc, but no videos still out there.

More than happy for Amber Glenn, she has had so many rough years and there is something really special, natural in her skating. 'Gravity' suits her wonderfully. Hope she can somehow hold on to that 4CC's spot at least.

Someone help me out please, Liu and Harrell are too young for seniors, or?

Hicks (@alchemy void )))
 
Really happy for Bunny Girl, and for Amber, FS will be exciting. I haven't watched anything but the results, so I have no idea what happened. Did Alysa land her 3axel?

Bell had an UR on her combo or she'd have been 2nd. Bradie was fierce and took no prisoners. Right now Liu can jump and is enthusiastic, but immature in many ways, as a 13 year old would be. Hanna Harrell was the one to watch for 2022. Really mature in expression and very good over all. She should get one of the jr world spots for sure
 
Bossman ?? Ice Dance RD Group 1&2 recap:
(as it happened)

M/D - Awesome straight line lift. Otherwise no connection at all for me ??‍♂️
T/B - I am getting not tired of demanding a new partner for BabyBuckland ??
P/F - I think they looked promising back then, when they teamed up. But this was not sharp at all.
B/F - When your horrific chinese neck tattoo is the highlight of your RD ?
M/F - This seemed very laboured and without ease. But hey, you can have tons of kids with Guarise later, who cares about skating?
M/R - Uninspired and sloppy. This won't make the cut, again.
E/B - :encore:Hope they enjoyed every second out there. Might never happen again. I think it's too late to get him a better partner, Evdokimova looks a bit butchery to me on the ice ? Nontheless, I will cheer damn hard! Hard work pays off! ??
T/V - This was really fierce of them ?? During the season I was a bit ? about where their high scores came from all of a sudden, but this performance, kudos! ?? I actually enjoyed Turkkila, who would have thought? ?
G/T - If you are wearing Galustyan's dress, you better bring Galustyan's boobs! ??
I/D - Not bad, not great ??‍♂️ KnC joy about qualifying ?

Do-Hard:
Bazin
Buckland
Versluis
(in that order)
 
RD Groups 1 # 2 Recap

Markova & Daze: Nice Lift. Lack of Power too noticeable. I wonder what must feel to be the step step child among the Montreal gang.
Tweedale & Buckland.: This hasn't really improved since the GP. Still boring and no tango passion at all.
Plutowska & Flemin: I have a soft, or should I say hard? spot for him cause his IG is yummy but yeah this looked like it was a lot of work a demmanding for them. Im getting after seeing so many perplexed faces at their scores.
Bunina & Frolov : Unremarkable
Moschenni & Fabbri: Baby Fabbri inherited all the good looks. Nice long twizzles but Bumps here and there the midline felt rushed.
Sidenote: Do we have a dance tehcnik expert here? @Braulio? are these teams really failing that bad at getting the Tango Romantica levels or the judges are being your usual first group nitpicky.
Swiss: I actually enjoyed that. Yep it was slooww but they kept the neeeded intimacy for the dance all the way through.
Evdokimova & Bazin: Im happy they finally got their chance to shine but I hate teams being rebellious with the rhythm theme just for the sake of it. It seems like they want to avoid real comparison at all costs. I dit not like this at all.
Turkkila & Versluis: Big roud of applause for these 2 a working their butss off. I thought they had zero future when I firt saw then and now and olympic spot and 2 spots for FIN at euros down the road doesn't seem a strech. That was fierce!! LOL at Margaglio with the camera.
Galavyeva & Thauron: That was quite promising for a new team but I Miss Abachkina's diva factor. Love her fist pumping!
Ichilov & Davidovich : The are both hot and wasn't as low level as a I thought it would be but dam those twizzles were worlds apart and I hate cell block tango so they lost me there.

Best Dressed: Galavieva & Flemin
Do-Hard: Versluis!!

US Nationals are on? Forgot about that.

LOL same here. I only remembered when I saw the results on my FB feed. I was like :"Meeeeh". I think I'll only watch Dance but of course NBC would probably only broadcast the final group.

Bossman ?? Ice Dance RD Group 3&4 recap:
(as it happened)

Overall - New system sucks, sucks, sucks for dance! ???

K/N - Taking into account, that this is their first big senior championships and the pressure of the high criteria by german fed for worlds, the pressure must have been really high. For that, this was solid. Great progress this season ??
K/H - I am relieved the BLR team, whose name I have already forgotten is replaced by them ?
R/A - I usually like them, but they seemed kinda off today for me ??‍♂️
Y/L - Horror dress ? ? They looked so polished and much progressed last season; what the hell did happen? ? They are off the entire season ?
T/F - They are so not my cup of tea ??‍♂️
S/D - Said it a thousand times before. I hate the new system for dance. With the lack of levels this should nowhere be as high in TES as it is now ?
H/K - :gallopin1 What else there is to say? :drama:
F/G - Good programs in RD and FD; but this sucks, that a weak time like them is leading TES so far. Seriously ?
L/LG - Totally disliked that today. Looked sloppy all over the place.
P/B - They are really good and at least enjoy to be out there. I still miss Nikitin, and I bet @SamuraiK too! :drama:

Do-Hard:
Hulitski
Ambrulevicius
 
RD Groups 3 & 4

Koch & Nuchtern: How did they beat the cancer kids? This was actually a change of tempo that didn't bother me. It felt like a natural progression of the music they would play in the 1930-40s somethign bar they are supposed to be dancing on.
Kublikova & Hulitski: They delivered in front of the home crowd good for them. Awesome stationary lift.
Reed & Ambrulevicius: I remember Saulius from the first Euros I ever watched as the tipical slavic/baltic puppy @Jeschke loves to drool at , with no chance to ever make it in singles. Im glad he finally found his niche.
Yanovskaya & Lukacs: how did they get level 3 on that twizzle disaster?? Is it me or Anna has gotten thinner after him failed to bulk up?
Tessari & Fioretti: Who chose the packaging should be fire. She lookes like 9pm ready for the party and he looks like it's already 4.am after tons of alcohol.
Smart & Diaz: This program doesn't get old. Instant classic. So clever and sharp.
Hurtado & Khaliavin: Im rooting for them but that generic choreo and twizzle mess does not help, at least the difference is not so big and battle is still on. Khaliavin was NOT happy.
Fear & Gibson: What I love about this team is how they seem to saviour every step they do. That careless joy is so refreshing to see.
Lauriault & Le Gac: Voidy costume and commitment from him aside this was meh.
Popova & Bielykov: Not as hot as Nikitin but he's not that bad. Makes me wish for an all male ukranian pairing. Where was the tango feeling? it was absent for like 4/5 of the routine.

Best Dressed: Smart by far
Do-Hard: Khaliavin.
 
Bossman ?? Ice Dance RD Group 5 recap:
(as it happened)

S/K - Still in shock ? This was MESS at its best ? Good lord. Not sure what to think about seeing that in the lead for now ?
S/B - I think this was kinda cautious, but I do love her dress, I do love the tango, march beat and I do love my puppy! Well done! ??
G/F - This a chance of a lifetime for them. Please don't **** it up in the FD, please! ??
K/S - Them in this group is so all kinds of wrong ? Them making the final flight for the FD is even more bizarre ? But I am relieved both Spanish teams remain in one group! ?
P/C - Stunning dress! Too much O-face! ??

Do-Hard:
Puppy, all night long!
 
RD Group 5

Jerk & Girl in Love: Victoria is such a considerate gal, "If you fall I fall too darling". A shame. Nikita must have the record for most butched twizzles ever.
Puppy & Legs: My avatar worked again!!! :eek::eek:Now, this is what I call being voidy without sacrificing the essence of your RD theme. They do slow too much during the ppatterns though.
Piccolinos: All thosse years of picking demmanding non stop programas has paid off. Their speed is awesome. Very happy for their succes this season.
Polish: All I could think of was why oh why his neckline is deeper than hers? They looked quite improved compared to GP .
Narcissus & Echo: Magnificat!! Flow , flow and more flow. The program is not that much but Watching them is always a pleasure.

Best Dressed: Sinitsina
Do-Hard: Puppy till he howls & Nikita till he learns to twizzle.
