FSU Watch Party Saturday #2: 2006 Olympics OD [12:30pm CDT/6:30pm CET]

[Vagabond]

Navka and Kostomarov seem to have wandered in from some other, cleaner competition.

 

[VGThuy]

Navka is dressed as Pebbles for some reason, and this may not be the most authentic Latin program and in some ways it's almost as offensive as DomShab's aboriginal program, but they are forgiven for looking so sure footed and skating with speed and attack.

Also, I ALWAYS hated Navka's pained grimace/grin when she pulled her blade to her head on her lifts. It takes me out of the performance completely as she's clearly just coached to smile as hard as she can while she does that.

 

[Colonel Green]

That was only two points better than Grushina/Goncharov?

 

[Hanna]

Yeah this is definitely one of those times when everybody was trying to grab the blade to the head.

I still think Navka and Sinitsina are related, they have to be.

Navka/Kostomarov

Time for sexy crossovers!

-good unison
-she is so clearly better than he is
-stylized choreography, they do perform it well
-no falls

D/S (all of them) were more skilled dance teams than N/K

 

[Colonel Green]

At last...

 

[alchemy void]

Imagine designing a dress and thinking "this dress should basically just be the bottom of a leotard with 1/3 of the top of a leotard. Just enough to cover the boobs. And then the WHOLE THING WILL BE LEOPARD PRINT. But not just normal orange leopard print. Orange and BLUE leopard print." And then looking at it and being like "needs more" so you hang a pound of bright blue fabric off of it in one clump from the back.

Now THIS is camp.

 

[Jeschke]

I think I watched FP/M OD so many times.
I know the exact wording to come

 

[allezfred]

Nobody does orgasm face in a curved lift quite like Navka!

 

[Finnice]

My heart just breaks here. So many lovely ID couples, and so many mistakes, yuock Kostomarov winning.

 

[alchemy void]

Slay Babs!

 

[Theatregirl1122]

IT'S TIME

 

[meggonzo]

still think Navka and Sinitsina are related, they have to be.

And Stepanova

 

[skipaway]

Slay Babs!

Who do you want her to slay?

 

[Wyliefan]

Here we go!

 

[Finnice]

I can't believe you could see him at all.

Sorry I am so enjoying the men.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

This dress doesn't say latin so much as it says "very slutty little mermaid"

 

[mjb52]

I love Babs but I am so excited to finally see this

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Man, his twizzles...

 

[VGThuy]

I think Kostomorov is the most undeserving OGM of the current era. He's the second most undeserving world champ but thank goodness there's always Maurizio Margaglio.

 

[alchemy void]

OMG he is BRUTAL in the sbs step sequence.

He was at least passable in 2000....

 

[Aerobicidal]

The fact that someone agreed to construct that dress for Babs is more horrifying than any of the falls in this event.

 

[Hanna]

To be honest, Mauri was already semi-struggling in those twizzles, his free leg position was terrible and he looks like he was just barely making it through.

 

[Jeschke]

Checking the protocols,best teams got around +1 maybe sometimes+2 for the steps
Today...

 

[her grace]

My heart just breaks here. So many lovely ID couples, and so many mistakes, yuock Kostomarov winning.

N/K were going to win no matter what any of the other ID couples did IMO.

 

[VGThuy]

Imagine if Maurizio Margaglio had to do the one-foot sequence that they do now!

 

[meggonzo]

"Will they be leading in 3 minutes time" oh dear...

 

[VGThuy]

What was that spin?

 

[Colonel Green]

Maurizio's twizzles were so bad.

 

[MsZem]

That was only two points better than Grushina/Goncharov?

Think of it this way: Navka by herself got more points than two people.
